LinuxQuestions.org - networkmanager does not start after installing newer version

Hi,

I had some problems with the older Networkmanager, so I decided to try the newest version on their website (0.8.4-rc1). Upon building and installing both the base package and nm-applet, I get an error from both nm-applet and NetworkManager when starting:

Code:

NetworkManager[4435]: <error> [1306656900.730173] [nm-dbus-manager.c:332] nm_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManager service.

  Error: 'Connection ":1.52" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager" due to security policies in the configuration file'



and



** (nm-applet:5555): WARNING **: <WARN>  request_name(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service.

  Error: (9) Connection ":1.55" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file

I googled this problem and changed /usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf and nm-applet.conf, but both seem to have no effect. Here is my current configuration:

I have already created the "network" users group, but this also seems to have no effect. Any ideas?

thank you,
