Comment 1 for bug 309650

same here.

i tried to set /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf "manage=true", but that didn't seem to improve anything. in fact, after this change my wifi was down and stayed down until i reset the previous change.

nm-tool doesn't launch since 'apparently' no NM is running. nm-applet produces the following:

user@ubuntu:~$ nm-applet &
[1] 7514
user@ubuntu:~$
** (nm-applet:7514): WARNING **: <WARN> applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken. Return: 3

(nm-applet:7514): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

[1]+ Exit 1 nm-applet
