[Buildroot] network-manager-applet for buildroot almost ready

[Stefan Fröberg]

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 **: 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

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....
