I can run gconf-editor, but there is no NetworkManagerApplet
under apps.
I see that there is something called NetworkManager and
NetworkManagerDispatcher
under /usr/sbin; but when I run gconf-editor, there's no
apps->NetworkManagerApplet
entry.
continued thanks...
I might be assuming wrong things here. Do you have network-manager-gnome
installed? Are you even logging into GNOME?
If you are logging into GNOME and do not have network-manager-gnome, try
installing it and then check gconf-editor again. If you already had
network-manager-gnome, try reconfiguring it ($ sudo dpkg-reconfigure
network-manager-gnome).
If you have no need for Network Manager at all (or if the above does not
solve your problem), which actually seems to be your case, you could
also try this:
Uninstall any network-manager packages ($ sudo aptitude remove
network-manager network-manager-gnome network-manager-kde) and setting
your interface to auto (in /etc/network/interfaces):
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Either approach should work in theory. Please post any further doubts.
Ok, my problem appears to be resolved. Just to recap...
I am running GNOME, and according to dpkg -l network-manager was installed.
I was unable to find network-manager-applet in gconf-editor->apps.
So, I uninstalled network-manager and network-manager-gnome, and at the
moment that appears to have resolved the problem. My system now comes
up with the network enabled.
Note that I made no changes to /etc/network/interfaces to resolve this.
Thanks for the help.
