Hi, I've got a few small problems with fresh installation of NetworkManager 0.7.0 on Gentoo system. 1) When you install NM and run it for the first time, it won't find any existing global connections (no gentoo-specific plugin, and none are defined at this point in keyfile plugin) and will reset your hostname to localhost.localdomain (before you even run X). I think it should always check if hostname isn't defined in /etc/conf.d/hostname (I think this location is gentoo-specific) or even `hostnmame` before falling back to localhost.localdomain (even if you don't have _any_ active connection). [NetworkManager] <info> Setting system hostname to 'localhost.localdomain' (no default device) 2) when your Desktop UI (gnome in my case) finish loading (and nm-applet start) and you activate first available connection - NM will change your hostname to corresponding revdns or /etc/hosts entry. At this point gnome stops working. You can't run ANY program. I don't think it's a good idea to update your hostname when you're under Desktop UI - only system-settings should be able to do it and not nm-applet. At this point I still don't understand decision behind dynamic name changing based on IP - would appreciate any information. When you try to run anything from the gnome terminal (which needs to be opened before network kicks in) you get: $ nm-connection-editor No protocol specified (nm-connection-editor:7141): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 You need to disable networking before you are able to open any program. 3) I granted my user policykit rights to enable NM system settings, but all options are still grey out. When i run connection-editor from the console I get: ** (nm-connection-editor:7245): WARNING **: Could not retrieve can-modify: Failed to execute program /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success (nm-connection-editor:7245): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated my user belongs to the group which allows you to query nm's dbus interface. Any ideas about 3) ?
