Gnome-network-manager shouldn't require Gnome?

According to its page on Gnomefiles, network-manager-applet (gnome-network-manager on Arch) doesn't need Gnome deps.
Maybe it would be a good idea to include a version that isn't compiled for Gnome in Extra, so that people using E17 or XFCE or whatever can easily use networkmanager? If people think this is practical I'll file a feature request...

It does need gnome deps. Requires libgnomegui and gnome-keyring... in turn it also uses gconf and other things. These can't be disabled.

quoted from a previous thread
I solved it by uncommenting my <locale><charset> in /etc/locale.gen.
First you have to enable the locales you want being supported by your system. To enable or disable them, the file /etc/locale.gen is used. It contains every locale you can enable, and you have just to uncomment lines you want to do so.
As we want to setup an english UTF-8 conform system, we want to enable en_US.UTF-8. But for compatibility to programs that don't support UTF-8 yet, it's recommended to support any other locale, prefixed with en_US as well. Having this in mind, we enable this set of locales:
en_US.UTF8 UTF-8
en_US ISO-8859-1
After you've enabled the necessary locales, you have to run locale-gen as root to update them:
# sudo locale-gen
Generating locales...
en_US.UTF-8... done
en_US.ISO-8859-1... done
Generation complete.

WPA on gnome-network-manager

Hi!
I have a rather small problem. I tried to get a wireless connection by using networkmanager and the gnome-network-manager applet. It all ran fine but when I took a closer look at the applet today I saw that there's only WEP protection showing up. So I googled a little bit and recompiled the nm-applet with wpa_supplicant support. I reinstalled the package but still no WPA shows up. S can anyone help me with this, since I rather don't want to go back using unsecure WEP protection.
Thanks a lot!

Gnome-network-manager

Hi Everybody
I just tried to play a little with gnome-network-manager from AUR, first of all the normal network manager was missing a few files, but I managed to find them(http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/networkmanager/networkmanager/).
But when i start up gnome, it is shown fine in the Status Area, and shows all the networks, but it won't connect to any...
When connecting to an unencrypted network it says it is waiting for the network, when connecting to an encrypted network, it is waiting for the key to be verified.
My assumption is, that it is waiting for DHCP, in both cases.
If I use wifi-radar it gets an IP perfectly, also if I use dhclient or dhpcd it works fine.
Any suggestions?

I tried to use the one from testing, along with the gnome GUI from testing, but with no luck...
As you can see here, it tells me it is waiting fr the key, http://gallery.timmy.dk/Screenshots/gno … anager.png
But in the consle, iwconfig says I'm already connected...
So I'm pretty sure there something wrong with the dhcp

Gnome-network-manager problems

Hello all,
I'm trying to use gnome-network-manager to connect to my wifi as it is WEP enabled and I don't know how to get it working in 'network'.
I followed this tutorial: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager
However, when I reboot under those settings, I can't connect to anything, including ethernet.
Is there a problem in the wiki or is there a workaround that hasn't been posted there yet? I'm utterly confused as to why it will not work.
Also, if you need me to paste any code from any file, can you also tell me an easy way to copy/paste between aterm and Opera as I haven't found a way to do that yet.
Thank you very much for any help.
Matt

Gnome Network Manager Isues

Hi Guys,
I have some weird issues with Gnome Network manager when I first boot up. I seem to have 2 profiles for my network connection enp3s0. I have a static IP for my PC, xxx.xxx.xxx.66, as I share music and photo's with a media centre PC in another room. But when I boot up or reboot the PC, it defaults to what appears to be another static IP address, xxx.xxx.xxx.109, that was used during the installation of Arch. I have disabled dhcpcd via
systemctl disable dhcpcd.service
but I can't seem to find where this weird IP is coming from.
If I open a command prompt at first login, and I issue ifconfig, my PC has the 109 IP address. If I expand on the Wired icon in Gnome's top right panel, I can see the two profiles, the incorrect one has a small dot next to it, to indicate its active. If I click on it, it disappears and my network becomes disconnected. When I reconnect, I get the correct profile with the correct IP address of 66, the 109 profile has gone.
If I go into the Weird Settings just after login, without clicking on any profiles, I have 2 settings in the box, the top one has a tick next to it and ther bottom one hasn't. If I click on the cog for the first profile, I can see it has a static of 109. Under identity, I remove the ticks for connect automatically and make available to ther users and apply. I reboot and the 109 profile is still there.
Cheers

I assume you're running nm-applet --sm-disable once you get a window manager session up?
Try starting networkmanager after hal. From the wiki:
You must also "disable" the default network daemon, and add the hal, dhcdbd and networkmanager daemons in this order:
DAEMONS=( ... !network hal dhcdbd networkmanager ... )

Keyring annoyance using gnome network manager, any solutions?

Has anyone figured out how to get rid of the annoying keyring prompt every time you enter a WPA (or any other) when connecting to a WLAN? I see the problem floating around but havent seemed to have come across any solutions.

Does it work for you? pam_keyring allways fails the first time I log in.
Btw there is a pkgbuild for it here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd
I didnt try on arch, it worked fine for me on Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop using a fedora rpm iirc.

Gnome-power-manager with networkmanager_sleep option

I have a wireless device using the ipw2200 module. I have always found it extremely annoying that gnome-power-manager asks NetworkManager to sleep before suspending, since, first of all, the ipw2200 module doesn't need to be unloaded and, secondly, because I always have to wait the extra few seconds it takes for NM to send the dhcp request after resuming. I made a patch that adds an option to turn the NM-sleep call on or off via a gconf entry (networkmanager_sleep). The patch has been accepted upstream and included in CVS. However, I've made a patch that applies cleanly to gnome-power-manager 2.16.1 as well. Here it is:

Have a look in gconf-editor to see if there's a setting for that? (I can't check now, I'm using XFCE.) Also, check that you didn't keep the default "put computer to sleep when the lid is closed", but I suppose you've done it already...

If you don't need these packages, try removing them.
Solved after removing these packages. Thanks both. I am now downloading the huge 1.7G updates.

Wireless, Network-manager, dbus problem

Hey, I'm trying to connect to wireless network at school using dhcdbd, gnome-network-manager, nm-applet... and it works but get disconnected constantly. Don't know much about networking so could use some help. Here's some output with lots of dbus errors...any ideas? Thanks.

When I configure a Wep key to my wireless internet
sharing network, my windows installed notebook can't
connect to my iMac. But when I set up it free the
notebook connects easily.
There does seem to be a known issue with a WEP encrypted software base station and Windows clients.
As far as I am aware there is no way to get a Windows client to connect to a WEP encrypted software base station (sharing internet via Airport on a Mac).
I tried both with ASCII and
HEX keys and generated them from:
You could try a ASCII key of
1234567123456
which will be a HEX key of
31323334353637313233343536
However if this doesn't work then nothing will.
I don't know what to do and I don't want to set a
wireless network free for security problems. Does
anyone know a solution?
Yes, get a wireless router and use that, it really is the only suitable solution.

[SOLVED] Network Manager confusion on reading WiKi

I have installed KDE DE...I am unable to start the network through NM...
On going thru Arch Wiki , https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager
I understand that there are 2 NMs available..One is for GNOME but works in all DE (backend), Other is "Knetworkmanager" which is for KDE.(backend)...
The frontend GUI is Gnome- applet and KDEplasme-applet
It is stated under KDE 3.5 , that Knetworkmanager is not supported but available in AUR...
My doubt is as follows
1. What should I install for KDE backend? --- Gnome Networkmanager or Knetworkmanager (Is the version for 4.4 & above supported?, wiki is silent on this)?
2. For Frontend should I install the Plasma widget or the GNOME applet?
3. If backend is GNOME network manager will it work with KDE plasma widget (front end) ?
4. In /etc/rc.conf , in "DAEMONS = " should I give "knetworkmanager" or "networkmanager" If I install the KDE version?
I had installed WIcd to test my settings...It was working initially after typing
modprobe b43 <for bcm chipset>
/etc/rc.d/network start
/etc/rc.d/dbus restart
/etc/rc.d/wicd start
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhcpcd wlan0
wicd-curses
Then I typed the network pwd and booted my interface.
i wanted to go in for network manager as it would save me the typing time..(Currently I installed pacman -S networkmanager (GNOME version) and KDE plasma "the one with the icon similar to "m")But on selecting the interface it goes thru Activating Interface and then says "Network Connection failed"
Now I am also not able to get wicd up
Any pointers?
EDIT ---The title says Graphical Front end managers, So I guess there is only one backend....In that case , why is my Network not working??All the wireless are detected ,so there is no problem with firmware....I have also enabled dhcpc (automatic)...So it shld fetch an IP address....dunno what the problem is..

1. there is just one, networkmanager. network-manager-applet and kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement are just front-ends to networkmanager.
2. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … nager#KDE4 , but https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … ager#GNOME will work too. I use network-manager-applet on KDE 'cause the KDE front-end can't set a system connection.
3. I won't even bother to answer to this.
4. networkmanager!!!

if you are using networkmanager you must the networkmanager daemon, not network. replace network with networkmanager in rc.conf in DAEMONS array.

Gnome-network-manager shouldn't require Gnome?
