However it works fine when run as the root user.
A further symptom of the same thing (I think) is that the Network Manager
applet is
non-functional, the icon is there on the panel but it just tells me "Network
Manager
is not running...". However Network Manager is running and I do have an
internet
connection.
Did you configure the network using Network Manager or editing
/etc/network/interfaces? If the latter then my experience is that Network
Manager won't work right.
It has probably been done by a mix of Network Manager and direct editing
over quite a long time.
If this is the cause do you have any idea how to get back to a
"completely controlled by Network Manager" situation?
In /etc/network/interfaces, comment out all the stanzas except the first
one for the loopback adapter.
If nothing else has been changed, Network Manager should then take over.
But for my purposes I also needed this work-around for one bit of bad
behavior by a dnsmasq TFTP server: In /etc/dnsmasq.d/network-manager
replace the "bind-interfaces" line with a "bind-dynamic" line. You may
not need this.
