network manager system connections don't work

[Martin]

Binary package hint: network-manager

I try setting a wlan connection in network-manager as system connection (available for all users) or try to edit such an existing connection and get this message:

"Method "GetSecrets" with signature "sasb" on interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection" doesn't exist"

In addition such a connection works for a very short time, but then disconnects and tries reconnecting.

Ditto - I also have this problem in an "available for all users" wlan connection.##I also note that /etc/resolv.conf doesn't have a nameserver inserted, although the interface does get an IP address.

The connection seems to "keep working" for web browsing purposes, but totally hangs any NFS mount

This is with karmic upgraded to alpha 6 today

I can confirm this with a WPA wifi connection. In my case, the connection doesn't even try to connect, when you choose it in the network manager applet the icon doesn't change and a notification that says "disconnected" appears.

Can confirm on Karmic alpha 6.

Same issue with Mobile Broadband connection (Ubuntu Karmic alpha 6)

confirmed on karmic alpha 6, but the nm seems to save the settings, connection keeps running, another problem is that it does not save the settings for manual ip config.
