Bug 10450

if you kill net_applet, run it again from the command line and make your steps to reproduce, do you have any message ?

The Gtk-Message and the messages "Cannot open ..." appear immediately.

The message "Segmentation fault" appear after I right-click the netapplet icon and select "Disconnect Wired (Ethernet) (eth0)"

backtrace

Attaching a backtrace as it's quite a long one.

net_applet is not shown when I log in. Network is fine. 

net_applet will not show for me even though it appears to start. From cli I see
$ net_applet 
Cannot open /dev/input/eventX: Permission denied
Cannot open /dev/input/eventX: Permission denied
Cannot open /dev/input/eventX: Permission denied
Cannot open /dev/input/eventX: Permission denied
Cannot open /dev/input/eventX: Permission denied

Then nothing more. ps aux shows it has started.
This is on a new install of Mageia 3 using old home partition and icewm.

Something else on my pc, I had a blank window that I didn't know what it was that I could not kill, even as root. It would hang shutdown as well. Today it wasn't there but the "updates available icon was on the tray. Once it was gone, I was able to start the net_applet and had an icon in the tray. I don't know if these are related but I'll share them just in case.

Now that I can see it, I can confirm the same behaviour of net_applet.
Right-click to disconnect and segmentation fault

I am also having the same problem. When I right-click the net_applet icon in the KDE system tray to "Disconnect Wireless (wlan0)" or to "Configure Network" or to "Help" the net_applet disappears from the system tray and net_applet stops running (I checked this in the process table of system monitor). I need to restart net_applet.

A permissions error? When I run net_applet as root everything works okey!

# net_applet

got connection status event: interface_down wlan0
got connection status event: interface_down wlan0
Interface "wlan0" is already disabled.
got connection status event: connection_start wlan0

If run net_applet as root I can disconnect wireless, use the help, etc... and net_applet does not disappear.

Same problem for me on mga3_64 and kde4.

When I right-click the netapplet icon in the KDE system tray to "Disconnect Wired (Ethernet) (eth0)" or to "Configure Network" or to "Help" the netapplet disappears from the system tray and netapplet stops running. I need to restart netapplet.
