NetworkManager ConsoleKit Issues (Arch Linux)
After upgrading a lot of packages, nm-applet started failing with the following message:
** (nm-applet:2211): WARNING **: <WARN> request_name(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service.
Error: (9) Connection “:1.18″ is not allowed to own the service “org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings” due to security policies in the configuration file
The fix was to edit /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf and copy some of the permissions given to the root user over to the default context.
By the way, this requires ck-launch-session to be running. FYI, here is what my ~/.xinitrc does:
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
batterymon &
ck-launch-session &
nm-applet &
volumeicon &
awesome
