I have the exact same problem in jaunty. It also happens (nm-applet refusing to start) if a kde user starts knetworkmanager first (on the same laptop).
Several kde users can run knetworkmanager simultaneously. So I ended up switching from gnome to kde. But it turns out that only the knetworkmanager that was started first can take any action (re-connect, choose another network, ...) if the connection goes down. Such a problem was already reported on 12/4/08 with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1001556 (Apparently things worked in 8.04.) This seems like a serious problem to me. Or is Ubuntu becoming a single user operating system? -- nm-applet fail when another user is logged in (intrepid) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284596 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
