[SOLVED] Cinnamon - network settings kind of broken

Hey,
after the last huge update -everything went fine- my network setting seem to be broken, although I'm online. When clicking "Network" in Cinnamon's system systems or right clicking on the NetworkManager applet and selecting "Network Settings" an additional popup appears saying:
The system network services are not compatible with this version.
I can simply close it and then look at my network setting, but the interface doesn't show up anymore.
I have no clue how to fix this, here are some information:
[klemens@arch-pc ~]$ psl network manager

As already mentioned, my internet connection works fine, it's just not configurable through cinnamon anymore. Is anyone experiencing similar behaviour?

yup seems to be a version issue. There is some version check in cinnamon-control-center
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=192939
Although I can still edit network connections. Clicking on the network Manager applet has to options at the bottom "Network Setting" (doesn't work) and "Network Connections" which shows another dialog to edit connections this one works. It might that it comes with the network-manager-applet package. If so this might be a workaround until the version check in the control center gets fixed upstream.
Another solution would be to apply the patch proposed in the thread I linked but I didn't try that.

[SOLVED] Cinnamon appearance settings not working.

I have a strange problem concerning Cinnamon 2.2.0-1 from [community-testing], in which some appearance settings simply do not work. Specifically, I can't change icons or gtk theme, and making any change in cinnamon-settings has no effect whatsoever on the system. I've tried changing the appearance with lxappearance to some success - now the panel and some Gnome3 applications show the selected theme and icons, but the rest of the applications keep the old appearance settings. I have no .gtkrc files in my home folder and I start Cinnamon from LightDM.
This is the output from running cinnamon-settings from a terminal:

I've got a whole raft of problems with the latest update, which I've listed here.
EDIT: I'm going to wait until these two are updated before I start reporting bugs, purely because it may just be that not all the updates have been pushed at the same time.

[SOLVED] Can't Modify Network Settings in LXDE

Hey there! First timer question here.
I have LXDE installed. I set up Arch with my ethernet cable plugged in to my laptop (an HP Envy 14 Beats edition) and my network works with the ethernet cable. When I open Preferences > Network Connections all the tabs are blank. I have networkmanager and network-manager-applet installed, and in my /etc/group file I added the line
networkmanager:x:101:bentenrai
underneath the line
network:x:90:bentenrai
What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do to give my account access to network settings, especially wifi? Any help would be appreciated, and sorry if this has been answered a million times before but I'm struggling with it.

Thanks! Been meaning to join for a while now but this is the first thing I haven't found solutions for elsewhere.
Unfortunately, it still isn't working. I tried commenting out the network group and changing network to networkmanager in my rc.conf, still no cigar. Preferences > Network Connections still comes up blank, and my internet doesn't work with the networkmanager daemon. What could I be missing?

Network settings tab is blank

Hi,
I have connected a Compact Rio 9068 directly to my computer (HP EliteBook 840 G1, Windows 7), and the system appears in the tree under Remote systems in MAX. However, the problem is that I can only see information under the System Settings tab, while the Network Settings tab is entirely empty (blank white page). I have tried to refresh and re-boot, log in as admin, but it doesn't help. I assume that I have to change some network settings on my computer but I do not know which and still think it is strange that nothing at all appears under this tab.The windows firewall is set to accept NI MAX for both office/home and open networks. Can anybody help? Below you see how it looks in MAX for the two tabs.
Regards,
Gloria
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Klas,
and thank you for your thorough response. But the network settings are still not visible.
I have checked both local and wired network to obtain IP adress automatically for TCP/IPv4, these settings were already default automatic so I did not change this. I've also deactivated the windows firewall completely. I can not find any other firewalls, have McAfee protection installed without firewall. The IP adress range stays the same under System Settings.
When I look at my networks in the cmd window, the information in the figure below is shown, (unfortunately in swedish), but the upper network is the primary wireless connection and the lower is Ethernet to local network connection. Both say that DHCP is active, is this correct? My computer is standing alone with direct connection to cRIO port 1 and wireless access to a network (hib.no) at my work place is active, should I turn all wireless connections off? I have deactivated by pressing the wireless button on my keyboard, so that it says "not connected" to the wireless network in the cmd window, but it does not change anything in MAX.
The latest Labview version and Real-time module is installed from NI download webpages, Real time module is also shown when looking in the software tree in MAX (see figure below).
I have followed the steps given on the NI support pages without any problems until I get to the network settings:
http://www.ni.com/getting-started/install-software/compactrio.
Also, I power off the cRio and restart my computer, and refresh in MAX between all steps that I try.
Kind regards,
Gloria

I phone 4 completely crashed after network settings reset?

hello
i recently experienced difficulty in connecting to wifi on my iphone 4, i tryed a new wifi receiver in the phone but it still did not work. so i tried
to reset the network settings on the phone, and ever since i have done that the phone just crashes every 2/3 minutes and it wont charge....but says it is charging. i tried to do a hardware reset and also tried rebooting it through itunes, but due to it crashing it wouldnt work properly. the battery has now gone dead and the phone wont even turn on.....although when i plug the charger in the screen lights up and i see the apple icon.. but then nothing happens?? im completly confussed, does anyone have any ideas whats wrong with it????

It doesn't matter how competent you are or how many screens you've replaced.
There are NO legitimate sources for iPhone parts. Apple doesn't sell iPhone parts. The only possible sources are counterfeit parts, stolen parts, salvaged parts, or just plain cheap knockoffs.
Your forfeited your ability to get service or support from Apple the minute you opened the phone.
Obviously, something is broken. Find a competent 3rd party repair shop, ask your question someplace like ifixit.com, or buy a new phone.
You can't get advice here on how to fix it.

After connecting to Bluetooth keyboard, iPad 2 will not connect to Internet (wifi) at all. Wifi is ok, have tried turning off bltooth, wifi on iPad. It sees the network but won't connect. Help? Have also reset network settings etc

My iPad wifi was working great until I I connected it by Bluetooth to a keyboard (zagg). It was the first time I'd used Bluetooth
Immediately Internet was dropped on my ipad. My iPhone was and is still connected no prob. And I cannot get the iPad wifi to work again....at all!!!
This is major as I am away from my desktop for three months. Any fix cannot involve being at my desktop with iTunes which is 10,000 km away
So far This is what I've tried based on other discussions-
-turned Bluetooth off and unpaired to keyboard which was also turned off
- turned iPad wifi off and on (several times)
- forgot the network I useArrive Jul 19 depart Aug 25th. Originally it was Sept 9.
-- reset network settings
What happens is that the iPad sees the network and I enter my password. But, instead of getting "check mark" indicating a successful connections it keeps "circling". Sometimes the airport bars will show, but disappear or flicker. It never connects with a check noted in settings. Any attempts to use internet confirm there is no connection
My network is not a cafe or public network. It is one I regularly use here at my family's home where I am visiting
Any ideas!

I recently when to England. When I returned to the US, my iPhone 5 wouldn't find the 4G network. I've tried restoring network settings, I've tried hard resets. I finally wiped the phone, and now, it won't let me restore anything. Help!

I recently when to England. When I returned to the US, my iPhone 5 wouldn't find the 4G network. I've tried restoring network settings, I've tried hard resets. I finally wiped the phone, and now, it won't let me restore anything. I'm kind of stuck - this is both my personal and my work phone, so I'm really in a bother here. Help!

I had "do not disturb" on in England. I did take it off airplane mode periodically, but I never actually used the network. I stuck to local wifi to do brousing and a bit of messaging. It periodically told me I was on an English network, but I didn't actually use it. And I had data roaming shut off all together.
when I try to restore, I get this message:
Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support.
When I try it through iTunes, I get a similar message.
and the network just keeps saying, "Searching..."

Where (in the filesystem) are network settings stored?

Hello,
i did a clean install of mavericks, and want to import the network settings from an older backup i did (have both: 10.8 full backup and 10.9 library folder backup) into the new system; unfortunately i don't know where they are stored, and can't seem to find any information on this issue!
I searched all of the preferences and application support folders, but no success.
does anyone know more about this?
thanks & kind regards

ah, thanks! i read about "SystemConfiguration" before, but didn't find it - i searched in the user's library folder, but it's the "global" library folder. only have the user library backup with me now, but will check later when i get home. thanks!

Internet connection not working: don't know how to change network settings

I have a Macbook Pro with an internet connection that normally works fine. However, in my apartment, we are provided with a cable modem that has only one ethernet cable hook-up. Since we needed atleast two ethernet connections for two computers, we bought a switch that we hooked into the cable modem to give us extra ethernet ports.
Recently, while hooking up my ethernet cord to the switch, I have not been able to connect to the internet. Network Diagnostics tells me my Built-in Ethernet is working correctly, but Network Settings are at yellow, and my ISP, Internet and Server have all failed. I have followed all instructions to check my connections, and restart the modem, switch and computer many, many times but there is no problem with any of these things. The other computer connects fine on the switch and cable modem.
Additionally, under Network in System Preferences, I am being shown that there is an IP address and Subnet mask, so I am assuming there is nothing wrong with the cord, modem or switch (which work fine on the other computer), but there is no Router number, which seems odd. If it helps narrow things down, I am also trying to connect to the internet via DHCP rather than PPPoE, which is what I normally use.
I am guessing I must have accidentally changed something to do with my network settings and it is not adapting to the cable modem any longer. Unfortunately, I do not know how to do this, nor what to change it to if I had to. My landlady knows nothing about what kind of network settings I need to connect to the internet service provider. Other than calling Time Warner Cable (who provides the cable modem with ethernet hook-up)is there anything else I can do or should be considering in order to get my internet connection working?

Loosing network settings after cloning a working installation to another machine

Hi all,
we're actually preparing a basic installation for a few users for testing Mavericks in our environment.
Everything seems to work fine except the network settings. If we clone to exactly the same machine type (eg. MacMini 4,1) all works nicely but when we colne to a MacMini 5,3 all settings are gone (DNS, domains, IPv6, proxy).
The settings seem to live in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and dropping the files "preferences.plist" and/or "NetworkInterfaces.plist" from one machine to another breaks the settings.
Is there a new place to put a kind of default netork settings plist that isn't overwritten or corrupted when copied?
Hope you habe some hints to me! Thanxx... A3k

Hi all,
since we didn't found a solution for this we stopped trying to put the network settings in the template but instead we setup the network with a little shell script at first start using "networksetup".
Thanks for taking a look... A3k

Go and use my phone and in the top left hand corner it says no service. i have tried restoring the pone, resetting the network settings and also a hard reset as well.

I have an iphone 5s and updated it to the new 7.1 software. A day later I go and use my phone and in the top left hand corner it says no service. i have tried restoring the pone, resetting the network settings and also a hard reset as well. It gains service for a short amount of time but then it loses service. Everyone else on my plan has service and their phones are completely normal but they never did the update... what can i do to fix this problem?

Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

Network settings keep resetting MTU to 1500

I have recently upgraded to ML on a 2010 MBP
I had the usual N-wifi connection problem* - even after 2 full-up installs, but finally solved it by setting the MTU to 1453 on both my router (Linksys) and in the network settings in MacOS
But now, for some reason the setting is back to automatic, and no changing it seems to stick. when I check back in the settings, after hitting apply, the MTU is back to its default setting.
What is going on here? why won't my settings keep?
*The connection would drop out on N-wifi networks - the wifi would not be connected to the known network

Again, this is something outside the bounds of Windows Server. Windows Server does not do that. I looked at default installations of both physical and virtual servers and there is nothing there to cause a sleep or power off.
In fact, the only real power setting I see in the Balanced power plan is to turn off the display after x amount of time.
Do you have power savings enabled on your NIC card? Is there some setting in VMware?

What is the password I need to type in for resetting my network settings?

Hi, I have a problem. Because my phone can't make calls or send a message longer. I don't know why, but I think I can solve the problem bye resetting my network settings, but when I click "reset network settings" it just say type in the code. And I have no clue which code the phone want me to type in. First I thought they were talkin about my pin-code but I was wrong, I have also typed in my apple-ID code but that was wrong to. So if anyone can help me with which code I should type in please do that! And if there is a way to reset your network settings in itunes tell me that too! My phone is a iPhone 4 and I have changed the pin-code once( if that is important). I didn't do anything on my phone before this happened, and my mother has also an iPhone but she has iPhone 4s nothing has happened to her phone.

Hi there,
You can access Adobe Send through Acrobat.com at https://cloud.acrobat.com/send - your login information should work there just fine. Let me know if you have any trouble!

Sudden change in network settings - can no longer access web sites

All of a sudden, I am no longer able to access any web sites on my Mac Mini. Everything was working fine and then yesterday I tried to get on-line to look something up and it didn't work.
I restarted the computer, checked internet connectivity - which all appeared to be working correctly. When I went to check my System Preferences, Network - I got a message that pops up telling me my network settings had changed but it hangs there and when I click OK, it just hangs. I have to force quit to exit the network settings. The only change I've made recently has been to load Genius to itunes.

I too have noticed that there's a split second after typing return that you can click on something (I've done "edit locations" in the pop-up). It solves temporarily, but seems to come back whenever you reboot or log in.
I'm trying to decide if I have an additional problem or is a further complication: I'm using DSL through ethernet with the phone company. The symptoms of my intermittent problem are that sometimes I suddenly can't receive back web pages or email...loading a page or getting mail will simply time out without response. All other indications, however are that the connection is still good including status lights on the DSL modem and using the network utility to test a URL look up. I might attribute this to the security update bug, but two other machines that connect through the same hub and modem get no action either once this happens (TiPB running 10.4.3 & Prismo running 10.3.9). Is there any chance that the security update on the AlPb with 10.4.11 is blocking incoming traffic by setting something out at the DSL modem?

Wifi connection ipad3 password correct but says I am unable to connect? Have reset my network settings but still cannot connect! Any help would be gratefully received thanks.

Hi. I am having problems connecting to the wifi at my caravan site. My iPad recognises the connection but when I put the password in correctly it says it cannot connect. I have reset my network settings in general but it has made no difference . Any ideas?

Some may not be applicable.

2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
