Description of problem: Despite these instructions (which I've reached from F9 release notes), http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/NetworkManager there is no NetworkManagerDispatcher service present (it once was, in F8). Is this a bug or it was eliminated ? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.9.3.svn3623.fc9.i386 NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.9.3.svn3623.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fresh Fedora 9, including NetworkManager 2. Start ntsysv or use chkconfig to see available daemons Actual results: There is no NetworkManagerDispatcher. Expected results: It is unclear if NetworkManagerDispatcher is no longer included/necessary in the RPM package or this is a bug. If it was eliminated, please update documentation accordingly.
It's been replaced by a dbus-activated callout that is run on-demand rather than always-on consuming memory. /usr/libexec/nm-dispatcher.action. But it runs the same scripts in the same way and you shouldn't notice any difference. Is it not working the way you expect?
Hello, I've opened this bug only for the NetworkManagerDispatcher absence. If it was replaced, it's OK - please only update this webpage accordingly: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/NetworkManager On the other hand, unfortunately, NetworkManager only works as expected in *some* cases. Please see bug #447383, comment 7 and the issues in bug # 134886, which occurs frequently. For the moment I only use NetworkManager on non-critical workstations, where I can afford to test. It still can't be used on servers/critical machines. Thanks *a lot*, Răzvan
Sorry, I've meant bug #445383, comment 7 and bug #134886 above. Răzvan
After the last upgrade (NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.9.3.svn3669.fc9.i386), it works for me, except this: - on a laptop, I was unable to fix the "keyring password" issue for the wireless connection, despite the fact I've followed exactly the instructions given at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/NetworkManager?action=show&redirect=NetworkManager Regards, Răzvan
Closing this as NOTABUG, since you've explained that NetworkManagerDispatcher was replaced by another mechanism. Please update this docs accordingly http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/NetworkManager Thanks a lot, Răzvan
Thanks, references to the dispatcher have been removed from the wiki page.
