Network manager problem

[Panagiotis Papadakos]

Hello everybody.

I am using saucy for a number of months. Unfortunately I cannot use the networkmanager
plasma applet to connect to the internet. It seems that all my previous configuration
and settings are not applied, although they are existant in /etc/NetworkManager/systemsettings.
Furthermore, when I try to create a connection throught the "Manage Connections" I get the following
message: "No session found for uid 1000 (unknown)"
Finally, it seems that no wireless networks are displayed when I press the scan button
although they are available.

So can anybody please help me? I am using wicd as a workaround...

Regards

It seems that it is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...d/+bug/1185592
Probably I am another case where something went wrong during the upgrade and the migration.
I will report back tomorrow

I followed the steps in the previous bug description and now I can use networkmanager.
The only problem is that still available AP are not shown in the applet.

Indeed, it's still not as good as the previous version.

I just moved to a different place and due to networkmanager it was quite hard to get on the WIFI.

At least I keep a copy of a how-to by CLI
================================

$ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
# returns a list with ESSID's like. "my-connection"

$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "my-connection"
# this will connect with the access point "my-connection"

$ sudo dhclient wlan0
# this will initialise DNS.

# In case of WPA:
$ wpa_passphrase YOURSSID YOURWIFIPASSWORD

Now you have a connection.

I don't see how that bug report has anything to do with network manager, or how it is connected to the issue? Is the link url correct?
