GNOME Europe1 alpha2 live iso Description of problem: try to setup a wireless connection using network manager. * nm doesn't allow you to configure the settings prior to connecting (bad design, but well) * the password-dialog is modal (again bad design, as you cannot lookup the password from the keystore on a usb-stick/from your own account, etc, you have to copy and paste it prior to attempting to connect) * even after the connection is established, and the "configure" button is displayed, clicking onto that button does nothing. In .xsession-errors the cause is printed: network-cc-panel-WARNING **: Failed to launch nm-connection-editor: Kindprozess »nm-connection-editor« konnte nicht ausgeführt werden (Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden) â child-process could not be executed (file or directory not found) The package containing nm-connection-editor should be part of the ISO.

Not sure (as currently I don't have any gnome machine with WLAN), but maybe the OP could test this?!
Per discussion between me + wally, we'll reenable networkmanager dependency and see if we get any complaints/bugreports/issues.
I've seen bugs advocating NM and against...

This is bogus. g-c-c requires an applet it doesn't use just because of a network tool. nm-connection-editor should be splited in another sub packages instead.

1. In GNOME 3.6 or 3.8 the requirement will be removed 2. /usr/bin/nm-applet and /usr/bin/nm-connection-editor share the same translation files, .ui files, images, etc. I think to avoid any bugs (because almost everything is shared and hard to verify what can be split), you'd maybe save 300KB or so (the command + autostart file). It is not even an applet btw, just something for the notification tray. If you mean something else please say so. "bogus": blergh.

Hi, This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment. Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2. Thanks :) Cheers, marja
