[opensuse-factory] Changing network settings in yast2 lan
hi, when I run "yast2 lan" I get a popup saying "This configuration is not compatible with NetworkManager. Use nm-settings applet or switch to Traditional Method with ifup" and everything disabled. First of all, I assume that the configuration isn't compatible with _yast2_ and not NetworkManager as the popup says. However, when I try to run "nm-applet" I get: ** (nm-applet:8240): WARNING **: <WARN> applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service. Message: 'Connection ":1.77" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file' (nm-applet:8240): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed So my question, how do I change this policy?

hi,

However, when I try to run "nm-applet" I get:
You should not run nm-applet. It depends on whether you use gnome or kde. In gnome, the network settings can be changed either by right-clicking on the network applet on the panel and choosing "Edit Connections..." or from the control center (System::Network Configuration). I don't disagree that the text in yast could be more clear. Tambet

Hola,
when I run "yast2 lan" I get a popup saying "This configuration is not compatible with NetworkManager. Use nm-settings applet or switch to Traditional Method with ifup" and everything disabled. First of all, I assume that the configuration isn't compatible with _yast2_ and not NetworkManager as the popup says.
It is exactly the way the pop-up says. NetworkManager no longer reads system-wide network settings from /etc/sysconfig and uses its own settings system. That is the reason why everything in yast2-lan UI is disabled if network is managed via NetworkManager (why bother with entering some configuration into YaST when NetworkManager will not use it at the end?) nm-settings applet is an utility to convert sysconfig settings into the format NetworkManager understands. If you opt for NetworkManager during installation, the settings are converted automatically. If you do so in the installed system, you have to do the conversion yourself. If you want to configure network via YaST, please disable NetworkManager. Otherwise, just ignore YaST and use NetworkManager configuration utility B. -- \\\\\ Katarina Machalkova \\\\\\\__o YaST developer __\\\\\\\'/_ & hedgehog painter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I'm sorry, this is not nm-settings applet, 'nm-opensuse-sysconfig-merge' is used for that purpose. It is in '/usr/lib/NetworkManager/' dir. -- \\\\\ Katarina Machalkova \\\\\\\__o YaST developer __\\\\\\\'/_ & hedgehog painter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
