Description Andy Lutomirski 2011-10-02 23:20:40 UTC
There are several symptoms:

 - Connecting to new unsecured wireless networks fails because NM can't find a secret agent.

 - Manually setting the WPA secret in nm-connection-editor with the box to share the connection with other users unchecked has no effect.  If I repoen the dialog, the password is still blank.  Sharing with other users makes it work.

 - Manually running nm-applet then trying to connect to an unsecured network results in:

** (nm-applet:4017): WARNING **: Couldn't load builder file: Failed to open file '/usr/share/libnm-gtk/wifi.ui': No such file or directory

followed quickly by a segfault.

Strangely, if I don't run nm-applet, nm-applet is not running (not shown in ps -A output) but the nm menu on the top-right bar is still there.

yum whatprovides '*/wifi.ui' says:

which is suspicious.  I don't have NetworkManager-gtk-devel installed.  Installing it helps.

The crash due to missing wifi.ui is tracked and fixed in bug 741448.
wifi.ui was mistakenly contained in NetworkManager-gtk-devel instead of NetworkManager-gtk.

Installing NetworkManager-gtk-devel as workaround should help.

Comment 2 Andy Lutomirski 2011-10-03 13:06:29 UTC
Sorry -- I thought by bugzilla-searching skills were better than that.

The other issue (the nm-connection-editor failure) is presumably not addressed yet, though.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 16:05:19 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
