Title: NetworkManager fails to connect to wireless networks after kdm is restarted; seems dbus-related Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager Since Kubuntu 11.04 Natty, NetworkManager fails to connect to wireless networks after a restart of kdm. Restarting KDM can be done by running `sudo restart kdm` or by using SAK (Alt + SysRq + K). It've noticed it first with a LiveCD and thought the problem was limited to it. Unfortunately, it doesn't, and appears on installation too. To get NetworkManager connecting with a wireless network again, I tried (without luck): - unloading the iwlagn driver - restarting network-manager - rfkill hardware switch - rfkill software switch - using "disable networks" checkbox in the applet Suddenly, I got a strange feeling that dbus could have something to do with it, so I tried: - logout from GUI - switch to a console (Ctrl + Alt + F1) and login - run: sudo stop dbus - run: sudo rm -r /var/run/dbus/ (see also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/786221) - run: sudo start dbus - run: sudo restart network-manager - switch back to GUI (Ctrl + Alt + F7) and login - NetworkManager can connect to wireless networks again In Kubuntu 10.10 Maverick, I had no issues with this.
