User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; ru; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032600 SUSE/3.0.8-1.1 Firefox/3.0.8 OpenSuSE 11.1 After my last update NetworkManager filed to start. I ran the "nm-applet" application in the console and I got the following output: ** (nm-applet:10421): WARNING **: <WARN> applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken. Return: 3 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install all updates for OpenSuSE 11.1 2. Reboot (with new kernel) 3. ...and the icon in the tray is gone 4. Try to run the nm-applet in the console: fails Actual Results: NetworkManager doesn't work. Can't launch dsl internet connection previously configured in it. No local and Internet connection. The only thing I can do is managing the network interfaces with old ifup/ifdown thing and installing Kinternet, for example. Expected Results: Working NetworkManager
0.7.0.r4359-15.1.1 - the version of NM
Today also I get a little bit different output when running as root: cherokee:/home/tux # nm-applet libnotify-Message: Unable to get session bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. Ошибка системы GConf: Сбой при контакте с сервером конфигурации; среди возможных причин то, что необходимо включить сетевые возможности TCP/IP для ORBit, или то, что остались старые блокировки NFS из-за краха системы. Для получения информации смотрите http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ . (Подробно - 1: Не удалось подсоединиться к сеансу: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.) ** (nm-applet:11548): WARNING **: <WARN> applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken. Return: 3 (nm-applet:11548): GConf-WARNING **: Directory `/system/networking/connections' was not being monitored by GConfClient 0x812e280
The message means that nm-applet is already running and exactly one copy of it can be active. It looks more like NetworkManager process isn't running. Please attach it's log file /var/log/NetworkManager.
