Package: network-manager-gnome Version: 0.9.4.1-5 Followup-For: Bug #643028
I was trying to add information to #694695, which is now closed and archived, but I think that bug is the same as this, and still not fixed. The solution proposed there was to recommend gnome-keyring. I think this is not fixed by that change, and probably this should be an important bug, as the package is very much useless to the common user without gnome-keyring The nm-applet is failing silently, no error message is displayed, and you have no clue what's going on until you start it from the command line, so you can see the cryptic error, and after searching for that you arrive to the conclusion that you need gnome-keyring (which is also weird, as I am not using gnome, but xfce). This also does not explain why everything works if I right-click on the applet, select the connection editor and add the password manually. So, nm has a way of storing the passwords anyway. Either gnome-keyring needs to be a Depends (although I doubt this, my passwords are still somewhere without it), or nm-applet should do something more sensible when it's not present. Please note that this is affecting the just released stable. I noticed this when I did a fresh installation of my laptop a couple of weeks ago. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages network-manager-gnome depends on: ii dbus-x11 1.6.8-1 ii dpkg 1.16.10 ii gconf-service 3.2.5-1+build1 ii gconf2 3.2.5-1+build1 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.4.0-2 ii libatk1.0-0 2.4.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.12.2-3 ii libcairo2 1.12.2-3 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100.2-1 ii libgconf-2-4 3.2.5-1+build1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-5 ii libgnome-bluetooth10 3.4.2-1 ii libgnome-keyring0 3.4.1-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.4.2-6 ii libnm-glib-vpn1 0.9.4.0-10 ii libnm-glib4 0.9.4.0-10 ii libnm-gtk0 0.9.4.1-5 ii libnm-util2 0.9.4.0-10 ii libnotify4 0.7.5-2 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii network-manager 0.9.4.0-10 ii policykit-1-gnome 0.105-2 Versions of packages network-manager-gnome recommends: pn gnome-bluetooth <none> ii gnome-keyring 3.4.1-5 ii iso-codes 3.42-1 pn mobile-broadband-provider-info <none> ii notification-daemon 0.7.6-1 ii xfce4-notifyd [notification-daemon] 0.2.2-2 Versions of packages network-manager-gnome suggests: pn network-manager-openconnect-gnome <none> pn network-manager-openvpn-gnome <none> pn network-manager-pptp-gnome <none> pn network-manager-vpnc-gnome <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
