Re: [e-users] Need help with NetworkManager / Gnome stuff under E ...

[Daniel Kasak]

So I just dealt with this for a 2nd time ( E profile got corrupted
after a hard lockup ). I thought I document what was needed for me, at
least for myself the next time it happens, if not for others who have
the same issue ...

I need to run:

 polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
 nm-applet

 ... on startup. nm-applet triggers a dialog asking for my password
for gnome keyring, and after it's entered, I can successfully connect
to saved networks.

i don't know but i might guess that gnome talks to networkwrmanager over dbus
and advertises/provides this "auth agent" which would require popping up a
password or something dialog and passing it back to networkmanager. we hve no
such code in e... :/ you could run nm-client or whatever it is? we removed
xmbed systray support so as long as nm-client supports the app indicator dbus
protocol it should be ok i think... if not there are 3rd party tray apps like
trayer or others.

Is efl / e built with systemd support? if so it should (TM) just work if
not another alternative is to run some other policykit agent at startup,
most distro's ship the LXDE one as a standalone package which works
otherwise there is a couple of others that can be used. Its also
possible to get nm-applet running in the systray if its built with the
following configure flag "--with-appindicator" or something similar
anyway although that maybe broken in the last release.

In enlightenments startup app section i'm also starting "Certificate and
Key Storage" although I don't remember if thats related.
