Speaking of Network Manager ...


Version 1.2 was released Wednesday ( 2016-04-20 ):

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/netw.../msg00064.html

and

https://blogs.gnome.org/lkundrak/201...r-1-2-is-here/

Sounds like there are a lot of systemd dependencies ...

Well, stranger things have happened. Re systemd, no hard deps - just that 1.2.x will use systemd stuff if it happens to be present.

If the WIFI has improved as claimed in the changelog I would be great if it would indeed be considered. For me the version in current works very poorly in networks that have many access-points with the same name (read Eduroam). Essentially it fails to connect most of the time to such a network, which appears a known problem with Networkmanager.

Thanks All !

I 'found' the NetworkManager 1.2.x thread in the Sticky 'Requests for Current ...' Topic after posting.

I should have known y'all would be on it !

Still going to try NM instead of wicd this weekend, including the suggestion to try changing the DHCP Plugin.

Thanks to Robby Workman.

Indeed. It's a strange world. You are THE man Robby. Thanks

Running Slackware64-current, and just uploaded the latest upgrades. NetworkManager-1.2 working great, but I was only running NetworkManager-openvpn-1.0.8. When I tried to compile Networkmanager-openvpn-1.2.0, it crashed with the following error:
Code:
In file included from nm-default.h:41:0,
                 from nm-shared-utils.c:22:
nm-glib.h:24:21: fatal error: gio/gio.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Searching for gio.h produces:
Code:
slackpkg file-search gio.h

Looking for gio.h in package list. Please wait... DONE

The list below shows the packages that contains "gio\.h" file.

[uninstalled] - kernel-source-4.4.8-noarch-1
[ installed ] - glib2-2.46.2-x86_64-2
[ installed ] - gmime-2.6.20-x86_64-1
[ installed ] - libgsf-1.14.36-x86_64-1
I'm running a home-rolled kernel 4.4.3.

What have I missed?

Cheers,

have you tested with one SlackBuild:

https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...nager-openvpn/

just change the version in the SlackBuild

Thanks for the responses, folks.

gmgf: glib2 is installed, as per my original post:
Code:
[uninstalled] - kernel-source-4.4.8-noarch-1
[ installed ] - glib2-2.46.2-x86_64-2
[ installed ] - gmime-2.6.20-x86_64-1
[ installed ] - libgsf-1.14.36-x86_64-1
and yes, I was using the slackbuilds.org SlackBuild. It worked fine for 1.0.8. Looks like something may have changed in the meantime....

Just to double check:
Code:
locate gio.h
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gst-plugins-base-plugins-0.10/gst-plugins-base-plugins-plugin-gio.html
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gio/extending-gio.html
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gst-plugins-base-plugins-1.0/gst-plugins-base-plugins-plugin-gio.html
/usr/src/linux-4.4.1/arch/mips/include/asm/sgi/gio.h
/usr/src/linux-4.4.1/arch/sh/include/mach-landisk/mach/gio.h
/usr/src/linux-4.4.1/arch/um/include/shared/sigio.h
/usr/src/linux-4.4.3/arch/mips/include/asm/sgi/gio.h
/usr/src/linux-4.4.3/arch/sh/include/mach-landisk/mach/gio.h
/usr/src/linux-4.4.3/arch/um/include/shared/sigio.h
/usr/src/linux-4.3.0/arch/mips/include/asm/sgi/gio.h
/usr/src/linux-4.3.0/arch/sh/include/mach-landisk/mach/gio.h
/usr/src/linux-4.3.0/arch/um/include/shared/sigio.h
/usr/src/linux-4.1.0/arch/mips/include/asm/sgi/gio.h
/usr/src/linux-4.1.0/arch/sh/include/mach-landisk/mach/gio.h
/usr/src/linux-4.1.0/arch/um/include/shared/sigio.h
/usr/include/glib-2.0/gio/gio.h
/usr/include/gmime-2.6/gmime/gmime-stream-gio.h
/usr/include/libgsf-1/gsf/gsf-output-gio.h
/usr/include/libgsf-1/gsf/gsf-input-gio.h
Plenty of instances of it around, so I'm not sure why it isn't being found.

gmgf: Yes, all those dependencies are installed.

I'll try and get a closer look today, but at the moment, I'm stumped!

gmgf: Just a thought - what do you get when you run
Code:
locate gio.h
?

I'm wondering if you (and perhaps Robby?) have one hanging around somewhere from an old build, that I don't, and therefore openvpn can't find it? It would be interesting to compare the output you get with my result for the same command.

Perhaps the solution would be to reinstall (glib, gtk) and all packages linked on them
