Re: nm-connection-editor working only as root
Actually, it seems that the problem was related to my not having polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 running, as Michael Biebl said, and Dan Williams also pointed to. So now it is taken care of by starting it from my .xinitrc. Thanks, R.

I tried both (note: there were minor differences in syntax, like mine is called NetworkManager, not network-manager, etc). The first one did not work, but the second did. Thanks a lot. Ok, this is good to know. We now know that your user was marked as 'active' via ConsoleKit (which PolicyKit talks to) but for some reason PolicyKit wasn't able to show the authentication dialog. If you're using a GNOME desktop, do you have the polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 program anywhere in /usr/libexec or /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 or /usr/bin ? If you're not on a GNOME desktop, do you ever see PolicyKit authentication dialogs? I do not use GNOME, but I tested it here. This is what happens: - If I use GNOME, then the first version allow_inactiveyes/allow_inactive allow_activeauth_admin_keep/allow_active works. When I try to add a connection with security, or to modify an existing one, I am prompted for the root password, and then I can modify, etc. Yes, I do have polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 in /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/ - If I do not use GNOME (I use xmonad), then I need the second version allow_inactiveyes/allow_inactive allow_activeyes/allow_active to be able to modify, add, etc. Otherwise, I get a message saying that I do not have sufficient privileges. No, I never see a PolicyKit authentication dialog. However, in case it matters, I do have the daemon running: ramon@Bufo:~$ ps -A -f | grep polkit root 1487 1 0 12:00 ?00:00:01 /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd and a bunch of dbus-related stuff: ramon@Bufo:~$ ps -A -f | grep dbus 101 1468 1 0 12:00 ?00:00:02 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system ramon10239 10197 0 12:59 ?00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /bin/bash /home/ramon/.xsession ramon10242 1 0 12:59 ?00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /bin/bash

It seems like most of the time the 'slave-type' value will correspond to the same value as 'type'. Thoughts? After re-reading the patches, disregard this... slaves won't be type=bond since that's what the master is; the slave would just be type=ethernet or whatever (well, until we get vlans on top of bonds on top of bridges :) The fact that we are going to support multiple levels of nesting is exactly the reason why I have put in slave-type. BTW, feel free to notice me before you start merging the patches so I can repost. I have been rebasing the patches and made small corrections and enhancements in the meanwhile. ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

It might be better to compare the return type against a list of known link types by NM and return a pointer to a type string owned by NM memory. Thoughts? Actually, I just changed this to returning an enum thus following your initial suggestion. ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
Re: ModemManager: Huawei PDU encoded USSD response truncated to 112 characters
I believe the cause of this problem is that the output string of gsm_unpack() needs to be larger than the input string. We get 8 characters out for every 7 input characters. I have attached a simple patch to /plugins/mm-modem-huawei-gsm.c which results in the full USSD response being returned. I am not sure that this patch is the correct fix. It may be that gsm_unpack() in src/mm-charsets.c needs take the 8/7 growth into account when sizing the output array and returning the unpacked size. Would someone more familiar with src/mm-charsets.c offer some guidance please?
