Description of problem: Since yesterday's updates (20100818) nm-applet doesn't show up, and the network doesn't work. Neither WiFi (set up to connect automatically) nor eth0 (static configuration for my account). Luckily I still remember how to configure eth0 by hand :-/ Running the following ($ ~~-> me, # ~~-> root): $nm-applet An instance of nm-applet is already running. ** (nm-applet:3606): WARNING **: <WARN> constructor(): Couldn't initialize the D-Bus manager. # nmcli dev status ** (process:4050): WARNING **: nm_client_get_devices: error getting devices: Unit NetworkManager-by-dbus.service failed to load.

Boot... 2. 3. Actual results: No network, no nm-applet icon Expected results: Network working normally Additional info:
Yupp, NM doesn't enable it's unit files properly. dcbw already prepared a fix for this. Reassigning to NM in meantime.
It works now. Closing.
