Thought I was doing something wrong until I heard his report. After a fresh reboot/login, no networks are connected (even though I've entered the WPA key & enabled autoconnect a dozen times). I pick my normal network, it wants the root pass twice, then still needs the WPA key again. I should add that I also have to re-enter the network's WPA key when wanting to connect. Do you have a polkit agent running in your session ? (In reply to comment #4) > Do you have a polkit agent running in your session ? I am not completely sure but if I run: /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 I get the error message: Cannot register authentication agent: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject So I guess I do? But there is no polkit-agent thingy running, only polkitd running as user root. I just ran "pkaction" to see what my user is allowed to do: org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Contacts org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Device.Control org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Device.Info org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Location org.freedesktop.ModemManager.SMS org.freedesktop.ModemManager.USSD org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-network org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wifi org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wimax org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wwan org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.hostname org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sleep-wake org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.open org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.protected org.freedesktop.accounts.change-own-user-data org.freedesktop.accounts.set-login-option org.freedesktop.accounts.user-administration org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart-multiple-users org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop-multiple-users org.freedesktop.policykit.exec org.freedesktop.policykit.lockdown org.freedesktop.udisks.cancel-job-others org.freedesktop.udisks.change org.freedesktop.udisks.change-system-internal org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-ata-smart-refresh org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-ata-smart-retrieve-historical-data org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-ata-smart-selftest org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-detach org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-eject org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-set-spindown org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-check org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-check-system-internal org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-lsof org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-lsof-system-internal org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount-system-internal org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-unmount-others org.freedesktop.udisks.inhibit-polling org.freedesktop.udisks.linux-lvm2 org.freedesktop.udisks.linux-md org.freedesktop.udisks.luks-lock-others org.freedesktop.udisks.luks-unlock org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate org.freedesktop.upower.qos.cancel-request org.freedesktop.upower.qos.request-latency org.freedesktop.upower.qos.request-latency-persistent org.freedesktop.upower.qos.set-minimum-latency org.freedesktop.upower.suspend org.gnome.gconf.defaults.set-mandatory org.gnome.gconf.defaults.set-system org.gnome.power.backlight-helper org.gnome.settingsdaemon.datetimemechanism.configure So I am allowed to do _some_ things with NetworkManager. Note: you do NOT need the polkit-gnome authentication agent running while GNOME Shell is running. You do need it for the fallback mode, however. Are these 2 separate issues, first the double-root-password for making changes, then the forgotten-wifi-settings? Bug 363063 shows the forgotten-wifi-settings symptoms. I found the following workaround: If I open "nm-connection-editor" and explicitly tell NetworkManager to ignore the IPV6 options for the connection I have set up, it works automatically (my home router does not supply IPV6 IPs). So it seems to be NetworkManager automatically assuming that ipv6 is required for a connection to be OK. How that ties in with the rest of the symptoms (the having to enter root pw twice as well as the "forgetting of the PSK") I don't really know. I remember having had the same problem for a few days, but it was fixed earlier this month, I am guessing by the net-misc/networkmanager-0.8.999 update. Are you still experiencing this issue after updating to the current state of the overlay? FWIW, I'm still seeing the same issues in net-misc/networkmanager-0.8.9997 Hi guys, I had the same problem. For me disabling the 'ifnet' plugin in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf solved it. Now networkmanager stores connection specific information in files in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ Below are the contents of my /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf : [main] #plugins=ifnet,keyfile plugins=keyfile [ifnet] managed=true auto_refresh=false Wow, this worked for me! After changing the setting, next time I started I had to do the same root pass x 2, then wifi key, but THEN it actually remembered it. After next reboot, it did indeed autoconnect to the AP. Still valid with latest versions in the tree? I just tried with 0.9.2 with a fresh set of configs. I'm not seeing the root password issue at all. I am seeing that with plugins=ifnet,keyfile set, it tries to put a bunch of junk in my /etc/conf.d/net file, and saves nothing in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/. So @ next reboot, it goes nutso trying to bring up net.lo AND NM doesn't remember the connection. With this changed to plugins=keyfile, it saves the connection in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/, and does not mess with my gentoo net config. Isn't this what we want? BTW this is plugins= in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf Shouldn't we just edit this config so it only uses plugins=keyfile (and doesn't mess with gentoo's conf.d/net), and things will be groovy? Or am I oversimplifying this? (In reply to comment #15) > I just tried with 0.9.2 with a fresh set of configs. I'm not seeing the > root password issue at all.
