Hi,  After an update over the weekend to KDE4.2.1 on openSuSE11.1 I was not able to connect to my wireless network.

After some debugging I noticed that my /var/log/NetworkManager contained :

NetworkManager: <WARN>  get_secrets_cb(): Couldn't get connection secrets: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.Secrets" member "GetSecrets" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings").

This seems to be controlled thru the file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/knetworkmanager.conf

and the lines :    <deny send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"         send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.Secrets"/> (this line may not be exactly what others have as I have hacked it a bit to get it working).

Anyway the following is what I now have in each of the 'policy' sections of /etc/dbus-1/system.d/knetworkmanager.conf to get my wireless to work:    <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"         send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.Secrets"/>

Am I missing an update somewhere ?

Yours does not look like mine. That file belongs to NetworkManager-kde-0.7r848570-23.2.1, according to: rpm -qf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/knetworkmanager.conf And rpm -V of that package tells me that mine has not been modified, either. If you want to restore the file to it's as-packaged state, use zypper: zypper in -f NetworkManager-kde If you back the file up first, put in some other directory. The contents of the the KDE4 version (NetworkManager-kde4) and the KDE3 version are slightly different, however. I also had trouble with KDE4's network manager component, so even though I am running KDE4.2.1 I'm using KDE 3.5's network manager component. Perhaps you've found the cause of my troubles as well! -- Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

That will open a security hole which was the cause for the online update.

Yours does not look like mine. As mentioned I had hacked it. I did not really want to get back to the original (for me NetworkManager-kde-0.7r848570-23.2.1 as well) as I did not want to do without my wifi connection :)
