Hello all!

I have network-manager-applet running and it appears into fluxbox system tray but
it does not detect any networks.

When starting it from terminal it spits the following:

** Message: applet now removed from the notification area ** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area

** (nm-applet:766): WARNING **: Failed to register as an agent: (32) No session found for uid 0

Does that "No session found for uid 0" mean that there is something wrong with dbus ????

Or is that error related to consolekit ?

I have it here running too (and soon will submit to buildroot) Also running are NetworkManager and dbus.

I start fluxbox with normal startx command and I have just "exec /usr/bin/startfluxbox" in my .xinitrc file.

Regards
Stefan

When i try using network manager It completely dissapears from the make menu. if i do not have ipv6 support it has a place holder saying your missing blah but if i include all dependencies its no longer available? a bit different from the issue you guys are having but maybe its a bug then? or is my issue user error? i was running with the latest git repository as of yesterday.

I added ConsoleKits ck-launch-session to my .xinitrc as instructed here
http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Start_fluxbox_from_the_command_line

Now it does not anymore nag about missing session. However, still no networks detected and when I try to click and view properties of nm-applet it spits this:

** Message: applet now removed from the notification area ** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area

** (nm-applet:905): WARNING **: async_got_type: could not read properties for /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/10:
Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist

** (nm-applet:905): WARNING **: Connection activation failed: Creating object for path '/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/10' failed in libnm-glib.

So this is definetely either dbus or networkmanager (or both) problem

God dammit Im stupid!
I was trying to use NetworkManger with busybox udhcpc .....

Fixed NetworkManger with adding dhcp as dependency and adding --with-dhclient in configuration (and few other fixes).
Also fixed little bit dhcp package (added symlink to /usr/sbin/dhclient -> /sbin/dhclient because that's
what NetworkManager seems to expect in it's configuration summary, just before starting compiling)

Works like a charm now! :-)

Fowever, there is still left's unanswered questions:

- Did NetworkManager package work for anyone before ?
Did you use just static IP or try DHCP and with what client & configuration?

- ConsoleKits's ck-list-session still spits "active=FALSE" and "is local=FALSE" for Seat2. Where is Seat1 and why does it not show it ? (doing ck-history --log shows that Seat1 had been created) Adding CONFIG_AUDIT=y and CONFIG_SYSCALLAUDIT=y did nothing more than add login id number to ck-list-session output. Yay....

Stefan
