Dear All, Since my troubles with nm-connection-editor continued, I decided to remove and install again all of gnome, consolekit, keyring, and policykit. However, the problems remain.
1. I cannot add wireless connections, as non-root, if they have any kind of security. The "Save" box is greyed, and I get repeated messages saying ** (nm-connection-editor:22077): WARNING **: Invalid setting Wireless Security: Invalid wireless security 2. If I try to access one of the available wireless networks, and enter the authentication info (e.g., CA certificate, password, etc) then I get a box asking for the root password. However, when I enter the root password, it stays there for a long time, and eventually I get a message saying "You are not allowed to modify the system configuration" and "An error occurred while checking for authorizations: 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. You may report this as a bug." Error 2. also happens if I try to, say, access any system-wide configuration that require root access (e.g., services). So I am not sure where the error is, nor what can I do, since I have reinstalled everything (after purging configuration files). I am using Debian, and here are some of the relevant packages. (Note, though, that gnome-keyring seems to work, at least with other programs). network-manager 0.9.0-2 network-manager-gnome 0.9.0-4 policykit-1 0.102-1 policykit-1-gnome 0.104-1 consolekit 0.4.5-1 gnome-keyring 3.0.3-2 libgnome-keyring0 3.2.0-3 libpam-gnome-keyring 3.0.3-2 python-gnomekeyring 2.32.0-4 Thanks, R. -- Ramon Diaz-Uriarte Department of Biochemistry Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Spain http://ligarto.org/rdiaz Temporarily at: Structural Biology and Biocomputing Programme Spanish National Cancer Centre (CNIO) Phone: +34-91-732-8000 ext. 3019 Fax: +-34-91-224-6972 _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
