Description Ivan Virgili 2010-11-21 19:25:00 UTC
Description of problem:

Wired and wireless networks are detected, but network connection cannot be activated. Everything works fine if using default login manager.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

slim-1.3.2-2.fc14.i686
NetworkManager-0.8.1-10.git20100831.fc14.i686

How reproducible:

Install Fedora 14 and use slim as login manager

Comment 1 Petr Šabata 2010-11-22 10:06:43 UTC
Maybe some session services needed by NM aren't started? That would be weird.
Anyhow, I don't know NM at all; re-assigning to NM for now.

Comment 2 Ivan Virgili 2010-11-22 15:35:52 UTC
BTW, I forgot to add that I have the same problem on 2 completely different laptops. One had a brand new F14 installation, the other got a "pre-upgrade".

Comment 3 Jirka Klimes 2010-11-30 09:46:47 UTC
This is not NetworkManager-specific problem, rather consolekit or slim/consolekit interaction issue.
If you run ck-list-sessions, you will see that both active and is-local are FALSE.
It's probably caused by this ConsoleKit commit that is more strict in setting  local and active sessions:

Reassigning back to slim; CCing ConsoleKit guys for thoughts.
