[gentoo-user] Using KDE networkmanagement applet with systemd??

[gentoo-user] Using KDE networkmanagement applet with systemd??

[Robert Walker]

Hi all,
I'm wondering if it is possible to get the KDE network management
(system tray) applet to work properly on my laptop. I'm using the Gentoo
systemd overlay and KDE 4.9.5.

$ emerge -pv networkmanager network management
[ebuild R ~] net-misc/networkmanager-0.9.6.4-r1 USE="avahi dhcpcd doc
gnutls introspection modemmanager ppp systemd wext -bluetooth
-connection-sharing -consolekit -dhclient -nss -resolvconf -vala -wimax"
0 kB
[ebuild R ~] kde-misc/network management-0.9.0.6:4 USE="(-aqua) -debug"
LINGUAS="-ar -ca -cs -da -de -el -es -et -fa -fi -fr -ga -hu -it -ja -kk
-km -lt -nb -nds -nl -nn -pl -pt -pt_BR -ro -ru -se -sk -sr
-sr@ijekavian -sr@ijekavianlatin -sr@latin -sv -tr -uk -zh_TW" 1,298 kB

Currently the tray applet starts but can't "see" the systemd enabled
NetworkManager service - the service is definitely working though...
$ systemctl status NetworkManager.service
NetworkManager.service - Network Manager
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib64/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Mon 2013-02-04 10:35:19 GMT; 43min ago
Main PID: 4849 (NetworkManager)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/NetworkManager.service
├─4849 /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon
└─4908 /sbin/dhcpcd -B -K -L -G -c /usr/libexec/nm-dhcp-client.action eth0

I click on the KDE network management system tray icon and the popup
window says "Network Manager is not working. Please start it."

Clearly should work - as it does on ARCH, Chakra, OpenSUSE, Mageia and
Rosa distros!! Not really a big deal but it would be nice to fix it :-)

Any thoughts??

Thanks
Bob

Here it is working pretty well, and I'm not using any overlay, just the
useflag "systemd". I had a problem recently, but it was solved when I
filled this bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454444 .

When I started using systemd, I had a similar problem. It was something
related with pam autentication, that I don't remember, but it surely worth
to search a little about.

In fact, I was connected to the Internet, using networkmanagement, but I
had this problem with the tray icon.
