Did you restart dbus after installing this?
As I said in the "Steps to Reproduce" I did restart dbus.
Additional info: I got the plugin to show up, when i modified the /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf and added line into group="plugdev" portion: <allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"/> Maybe this isn't really a pynetworkmanager problem? Allthough I'm now getting "IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/share/xfce4/pyNetworkManager/pyNMNets.stored'" And that sure is related to pynetworkmanager. And the digging contiunues...
Sorry for spamming. Finally I got tto access a non-encrypted wlan. I had to command: touch /usr/share/xfce4/pyNetworkManager/pyNMNets.stored chmod o+w /usr/share/xfce4/pyNetworkManager/pyNMNets.stored Then it started to work. When trying to connect a wpa-protected network it doesn't work. In /var/log/messages it appears: Jun 29 03:31:19 gandalf NetworkManager: <info> Device eth1 activation scheduled...

Unfortunately I have no hardware to even start working on it. I made the ebuild and nichoj tested it for me. However he is using Gnome and configured his networkmanager using Gnome tools far as I understood and then adding it to panel worked for him. We need modifications to ebuild or configuration howto/guide for this at our site.. So anyone able to get it working, please report here how and what you did to get it working _without_ gnome tools and we'll make the changes necessary. Upstream also doesn't want to mention his contact info in his homepage.
Sorry with contact information. I've missed it. The homepage is updated. I hope I can fix some of the basic but the dbus.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied error I don't have a clue about. Could be with signing messages or something. Sorry once again, All feedback (except larger penis or stock information) is apreciated Martin Forsgren mk0foma at student.chalmers.se
First of all, Martin, Thanks for your efforts to bring networkmanager interface to Xfce environment. So far I've only heard it worked for one developer which had his networkmanager configured from Gnome so for that and this bug it's package.masked for fixing, testing, writing guide etc. Keeping this bug open to work on this.
Oh, And there's a new release. Only fixed some smaller bugs. mosltly configuration file and variable names. ( www.tfd.chalmers.se/~mk0foma/pyNetworkManager )
(In reply to comment #8) > Oh, And there's a new release. Only fixed some smaller bugs. Adding that. There is still a typing error in .desktop file, "Network Mangager".

And we byte compile .py files into .py[co] but that's irrelevant here, I suppose.

(In reply to comment #13) > >Samuli Suominen > > You must have NetworkManager running! the plugin requires it. > try running "NetworkManager" as root, > Err, sorry about the noise. _I_ got that part, what I meant was it could be a bit more informative for _end users_, print a error dialog 'NetworkManager is not running.' for example. This is just a request, like you said.. you didn't expect anyone else to use it. :-)
Unmasking.. Added some instructions to post installation for users. I'll look into writing Makefile for this if I nobody else gets to it before me..
New release, for now only small changes and some structural changes. And some bug-fixes. http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~mk0foma/pyNetworkManager/
Created attachment 123796 [details] Makefile for installation. For upstream. Simple Makefile which respects DESTDIR for pyNetworkManager-0.3, which needs.. - X-XFCE-Exec in .desktop file to point at /usr/share/xfce4/pyNetworkManager/pyNMxfcePanel.py - FILES_PATH in pyNetworkManager.py to point at /usr/share/xfce4/pyNetworkManager/'
And another minor thing, typing error in filename of LICENCE, should be LICENSE.
Created attachment 123799 [details, diff] Makefile and required modifications in unified patch format.
Err, typing error from me. Should be 755 instead of 744 for installing .py files. Sorry about that.
Thanks Samuli for the makefile. Just a question: Is it possible to do a makefile that works like "make destdir" copys everything and changes the desktop file and also checks dependencies? Another question maby not suited here. Is there anyone who has this plugin working? and uses it regularly? except for me. It would be great to know. Please send an e-mail.

Please send an e-mail. I know few users (likely not following this bug) on Freenode, IRC. You'll get a lot more when it supports encryption, including few other Gentoo developers.
Created attachment 123804 [details] Makefile New one, works like.. make - Byte compiles .py into .pyc and optimizes them to .pyo make install - Installation make uninstall - Uninstallation But it still needs those paths changed, doing that next..
And typo again, "/usr" shouldn't be quoted. *shrug*
Created attachment 123819 [details, diff] pyNetworkManager.patch I'm not so good with python but we can't actually install .py[co] in /usr/share so using distutils is required to get it right. Would this work, python part of it? (make uninstall is broken in this version)

Err, here: http://www.narhinen.net/~jarda/pynetworkmanager/pynetworkmanager-0.3-r1.patch
The file with stored networks is sometimes altered between versions (for now). Try remove the old one (~/.config/pyNetworkManager/stored-networks.conf) if there is any problem.
damn, hardcoded path is still present in .desktop which needs to be modified by Makefile.. I was trying to avoid using 'sed' but that seems a bit hard now :)
Created attachment 123916 [details, diff] pynetworkmanager.patch Should be all fixed in this version. Everything working, make, make install, make uninstall using python distutils to figure out python site-packages directory for safe installation.
Created attachment 123918 [details, diff] Really working patch. Shrug.. Forgot '' again.
Version 0.6 is released. Sorry to say it is rewritten so the installation patch doesn't work anymore. The good part. It now supports encryption. Not without problem but the framework is there and it works for atleast wep40bithex (havn't tested other).
