Network Manager Testing Issue

Hi folks,
I have a bit of an issue regarding Network Manager. It refuses to connect despite the appropriate modules being active for all my interfaces (eth0 wlan0). It goes through the motions of connecting and tries for ages then says "network disconnected".
I am fairly certain that I have not done anything config wize (but I am open to suggestions) and this is only happening on my Gnome system (I am currently writing this on my XFCE Netbook). Has anyone had any issues re: the recent network manager upgrade on Gnome?
Cheers,
Scott
P.S. Once people begin to reply, if this is not an issue with the Testing repo, could the mods move this to the appropriate forum so I am not misleading anyone looking for real testing repo issues.

what version of networkmanager? -1 or -2?

Apps R12 Warerhouse Management testing issue.

Hi Gurus,
I am planning to do testing of standard cycle of inbound logistics using WMS in R12 environment. As per page 5-3 of Oracle WMS UG of R12, in a note it is mentioned that:
'Oracle requires that all Oracle Warehouse Management related receipts be made through the mobile device.'
In testing laboratory I dont have access to any mobile device. Does that mean I wont be able to execute standard process of WMS fo rthe want of mobile device??
How can I learn WMS then in such a scenrio??
Please provide guidance I am stuck :(
Regards
Pankaj Singh

Bad news...I am just a functional guy as well. But here is what I can share with you of which some might be obvious so I apologize but it should get you to the finish line:
First make sure that MSCA is installed and set up
Make sure that you or whoever is doing the testing has an established log in and assigned MSCA responsibility
If you are running from a windows based pc you have telnet already
Check with your DBA which box your apps might be running on
Follow a nav path of Start>>>Run>>>telnet\BOX NAME
Again your dba should be able to help you with that

Network manager issues on Laptop

I'm using gnome shell from the testing and gnome-unstable repositories (the Arch way).
I'm having a lot of issues (wireless) with network manager:
1/ Shows home networks at work and work networks at home
2/ Keeps asking for key even though I'm entering the correct one while the same connection through 'nmcli' works just fine
3/ Doesn't show my saved networks and doesn't connect to them automatically. Again, I have to use 'nmcli'
I don't know if these are bugs with network manager or whether I did something wrong in the configuration files. In any case, I've decided to switch to 'wicd'.
However, I used to use 'wicd' on Ubuntu a few years ago and a problem was that I couldn't connect to VPN (which I need at work). This was the only reason I was hanging on to Network Manager. I looked online and this doesn't seem to have changed.
Are there solutions to connect to VPN (PPTP) without network manager. I remember trying the pptpd and kvpnc without much success. There was a plan on the wicd project page to implement PPTP VPN in 2008..does anyone know if this has been done already?

Well you could use wicd to connect to the access points then use vpnc for vpn. You just need to create a config file for vpnc or from the command line. I just did a quick search looks like the gentoo wiki page has a pretty good explanation for vpnc.

Network Manager driving me crazy (3 issues)

Hey guys I'm new here, hope you can help me
nm-applet is driving me crazy!
First issue: when I boot nm-applet doesn't appear in my tint2 eventhough I'm connected. This don't appear all the time, it's random. I have to kill it and restart it to be able to see it.
I use openbox and I have this in .config/openbox/autostart
(sleep 3 && /usr/bin/nm-applet --sm-disable) &
Second issue:
I selected the save option for the password of my vpn but it won't save it... Or wait, yes it will.. But not all the time. It asks me for the pass sometimes, and sometimes not
Third issue:
I thicked the "automatically connect to vpn for this connection" but guess what... It won't
Any idea about how to troubleshot this. I'm seriously considering pacman -R network-manager and pacman -S something else
Thank you

1st issue: run nm-applet from the command line (take it out of openbox's start file wherever that is) after you log in to see what's going on.
2nd issue: do you have gnome-keyring installed? I believe it should be started with by networkmanager when it's needed, but you may need to figure out how to start it on your own. I don't know how.
3rd issue: I believe the automatic connection to vpn on a specific network is triggered by networkmanager-dispatcher which is just part of the networkmanager package, but is its own separate service. When you enable/start NetworkManager via systemctl, it should enable/start 3 services - the dispatcher is one of them. Do you have that running?
I may be wrong about some of this; it's been a while since i've used NetworkManager.

Network Manager Dispatcher returns error code 1 on tested scripts

I'm trying to write a simple script to test the network manager dispatcher but while it's working when I manually launch the script, the nm dispatcher print "nm-dispatcher.action: Script '/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/start_dropbox.sh' exited with error status 1" into the logs.
#!/bin/sh
IF=$1
STATUS=$2
/bin/su USERNAME -c "/usr/bin/notify-send lol woot"
exit $?
I tried using absolute paths, just the commands, running with sudo(although the scripts should be run as root) and without su. I tested the script as root and as a simple user using a terminal and it works just fine every time.
echo seems to work fine as I don't get any errors in the logs, but that way I can't see what's inside $1 and $2 when the dispatcher calls the script and I can't think of any way to debug the script which doesn't involve notify-send.
I'm sure I'm missing something very simple here, but I can't see it myself and searching google and the arch forums hasn't helped me any.

I solved the problem. Here is a little explanation.
After NetworkManager establishes network connection, NetworkManager-dispatcher service is started( for ~10 seconds). This service execute /usr/lib/networkmanager/nm-dispatcher.action, which execute scripts in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d. After exiting nm-dispatcher.action mount.davfs process appears in NetworkManager-dispatcher`s CGroup. By default all processes in CGroup must be killed when service stops. To change this behavior I have added KillMode=process to [Service] section of NetworkManager-dispatcher.service file.
sudo nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager-dispatcher.service
Here is it`s code now.
[Unit]
Description=Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service

Type=dbus
BusName=org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher
ExecStart=/usr/lib/networkmanager/nm-dispatcher.action

Gnome shell network manager issues

I'm running nm-applet on Gnome Shell. A recent update solved my problems of clicks not registering in nm-applet.
However, there are still some issues which means I'm still using 'nmcli' to connect to networks:
1/ The list of connections is not scrollable. At home, even though my wireless network has the strongest signal, it's not listed near the top. In fact, it's listed below the bottom of the screen (there are a lot of wireless networks) and there's no way to get to it!
2/ It doesn't accurately show available networks. This maybe a "Suspend" issue, but the list of networks that nm-applet shows is not up to date. It shows my home network when I'm at work and random networks which are currently not in range too.
Is there some open bug report about this or is this something I've done?
Also, 'nmcli con list' seems to list saved networks and not available networks. Is that the intended behavior?
EDIT: The man page for nmcli does say this is the intended behavior and 'nmcli dev wifi list' is what I was looking for...
Last edited by pritamps (2011-03-30 20:34:48)

BUMP..
The above behavior hasn't changed even after a few updates. Is anybody else experiencing these issues?
Will it help if I delete all the network manager config files? I'm thinking it might be some conflict of config files between nmcli and nm-applet...

No interfaces shown in network manager [SOLVED]

Hi All,
I have just done a fresh install of Arch on my new Sony Vaio VGN-FW53GF, all goes well, except for Network Manager.
I can use my wired connection ok as eth0 shows up as active when I hover over the kde applet in the task bar. However when I go to "Manage Connections"
I do not see any Wireless networks or even my "working" wired connection in any list.
Wireless seems to be working as iwconfig shows an interface.

Can anyone offer some suggestion on how to get network manager going, I would like to use it. In the past
I have used Wicd, but it has some limitations.
Cheers,
Bernie

Ok, I found the issue. I was missing the firmware for the card. I downloaded firmware from the intel site as per the wiki on wireless and
my interface comes up (shown with ifconfig) and I can see all the networks.
However, I cannot seem to connect to my network with WPA. When I go to connect I get network manager thinking the access point is WEP and asking for pass phrase.
If I select WPA(personal) and fill in a password, nothing happens .... just says unavailable.
Can anyone give some idea's here. I have not used network manager before for WPA.
Cheers,

I use WPA2 with network manager without a problem. It should "just work", im not sure why you have issues, can you switch your router to a different security protocol to test?

Testing issue

Hey, I was installing gnome-network-manager from testing, and I may have stumbled upon a slight glitch, it seems that many of the files (all relating to dhclient files) are already on the system. I belive this has to do with the dhcp/dhclient packages (not sure which one, I will check when I get home) and the dhcdbd package conflicting. I will look into this further when I get home. I tried to file a bugreport, or at least sign up so that I could file a bug report if it became obvious that it was a bug (I am not sure that it is, all that is needed is that dhcp/dhclient may need to be added as a conflicting package.) In any case I just wanted to post to see if anyone else was having this problem, and to find out how to subscribe to file for Bugs.

Hi,
<br>There are two different issues here:
<ol style="margin-top:0px;">
<li> The link that will be clicked will always change or the index will change.
<li> e-Tester is always using the secondary attribute "index"
</ol>
Let me issue #2 first since its easier to explain.
<h2 style="color:navy"> e-Tester is always using the secondary attribute "index"</h2>
<h2 style="color:navy">* For scripts that are not created yet:</h2>
In order to change the order that e-Tester records the use of attributes you can go to:
<br> <font style='color:navy'>e-Tester » Options » Current Script</font>
<br> Then on the left side of the Current Script Options window go to:
<br> <font style='color:navy'>Recording » Object Identification</font>

<br>
Notice the bottons with arrows that are on the right side of the window. Use those to determine which attribute should be used first when recording the script.
<h2 style="color:navy">* For existing scripts:</h2>
Go to the page where resides the action of clicking the script, expand the page, <font style='color:navy'>right click on the Address Node</font> and select properties(a new window will appear), double click on the action that is making the click to the link (a new window called Event Properties will appear). In this new window click on the Attributes tab. The following image presents how the Event Properties window looks like:

Network manager won't store my WIFI password

hi everyone,
i seem to have a problem with my network manager (tried both the KDE network connection manager as well as the gnome nm-applet).
Whenever i want to connect to my wifi it asks for my WIFI password, although it's correctly stored in the network manager already and it won't accept it, the password prompt pops up over and over again.
I'm desperate, i don't know what else to do, or what's causing this problem.
I also started the nm-applet from the terminal and got this error message:
m-applet-Message: No keyring secrets found for SSID/802-11-wireless-security; asking user.
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
does anyone have any ideas?
many thanks in advance,
theresa

Try to connect manually, open the terminal and issue the following:
ip link set <interface's name> down
ip link set <interface's name> up
Select your AP:
iwlist <interface's name> scan | grep ESSID
Connect to it:
wpa_supplicant -B -i <interface's name> -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/test.conf
Then print the status:
systemctl status dhcpcd@<interface's name>.service
or
systemctl status dhcpcd.service

Killer Network Manager Keeps Saying To Install Flash.

I just put to together my rig and im slowly updating and running it through its paces, I have a MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming I have the latest drivers so far the only thing I haven't updated is the bios. Flash is installed but the MSI Killer Network Manager keeps saying that I need to install flash when I try to test the networks speed. Anyone else had this issue in the past?

If you install the flash player through the internet explorer it should work.
That's right.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
There are 2 Flash player installation packages:
1) for Internet Explorer (and Google Chrome)
2) for other browsers (Firefox, Opera, etc).
This amazing piece of software called "Killer Network Manager" needs the IE flash plugin.
Otherwise its outstanding interface does not work.

HT3204 When doing a "Network Connectivity Test" on my PC, as to iStore Connectivity, it says "Secure Link to iTunes Store failed". And when trying to "authorize" my computer to sync ringtones I downloaded to my PC, I keep getting an errot message.

When doing a "Network Connectivity Test" on my PC, while in iTunes, it tells me that "Secure Link to iTunes Store Failed", yet I'm connected to the internet. I was unable to "authorize" my PC with an error message, as well, giving me the code (-3212), saying I was not connected to the internet, yet I am. I can open browser after browser, and navigate just fine. In going through the iTunes Help menu, I am running the tests offered in the drop-downs, but I keep getting the afore-mentioned errors.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store

Oracle BPM for Network Management Projects

Has anybody used Oracle BPM for network management projects with millions of events?
Can Oracle BPM handle it?

Please follow this step may this solve your problem.
please modify any thing in process "ExpenseReporting" for example any transition or any activity to place some where else or any other modification and then save that process. Then clean the project and build and deploy it.
if this also not solve the problem then export that project to and import it again in your workspace (Create new workspace or change the project name in same workspace ) and then again clean, build and deploy the application then test in work space.
Thanks,

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
