I've seen this inconsistently in both Dapper and Edgy when I ran knetworkmanager as a normal user. It always worked when I ran it using kdesu. When started as a normal user from the command line it shows this error: Error requesting name, org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Connection ":1.6" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo" due to security policies in the configuration file
So, I added this: <policy user="|my_username|"> <allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"/> <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"/> <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"/> </policy> to the following files: /etc/dbus-1/system.d/knetworkmanager.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf and it works every time now. A less restrictive default policy might clear this up for everybody. @@ron Smith http://geeksmith.blogspot.com/ -- knetworkmanager "no network device found" if wired connection plugged in before starting https://launchpad.net/bugs/50770 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
