However, when I attempt to fire up the control applet (from the package plasmoid-networkmanagement) as a regular user, it cannot attach to the NetworkManager for some reason (restarting the network has it recognize the NetworkManager running, but none of the two emulated wired networks are discovered by the applet). Logging in as root to the domU, however, causes the applet to instantaneously comnnect to Networkmanager and allows me to handle both network connections without any problems. Logging in again as an unprivileged user again shows the same problems as before logging in as root. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. (optional) Create a Linux domU (in case none is available at first) 2. Switch networking inside the domU to NetworkManager 3. Attempt to use the Plasmoid network manager applet as regular user Actual Results: The applet complains: "The program NetworkManager is not running. Please start it." Expected Results: Display any connections present and allow their maintenance (as is happening for the user root).
