Insufficient privileges in NetworkManager with xmonad

linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I have problem with Network Manager in xmonad. Let's say I want to connect to a new wireless network. When I try to do so, error is displayed, saying: "insufficient privileges". But when I try do do this with Gnome 3 there is no problem. And, when new network is added (using Gnome), I can now connect to this network when I am using xmonad. I use Debian Sid, with 3.2.0-1-486 kernel, latest (0.10) version of xmonad. In xmonad, I use NetworkManager applet (0.9.2.0). Part of my .xsession: gnome-screensaver & gnome-settings-daemon & if [ -x /usr/bin/nm-applet ] ; then nm-applet --sm- (HowTos)

Stories similar to Insufficient privileges in NetworkManager with xmonad

I'm using gnome+xmonad, and I'm trying to set the mod key to the windows key. I set my .xmonad.hs file to:

import XMonad import XMonad.Config.Gnome

main = xmonad gnomeConfig myModMask = mod4Mask

I tried to reload the file with alt+q, but no change seems to have occurred. Any suggestions? I'm far from a power user.

This is a modified xmonad.hs I got from the internet... it works, but the panel only gets shown after I open a program, and the gnome workspace switcher isn't aware of xmonad's workspaces.... ( What else am I missing from gnomeConfig, and how can I fix the issues ?

First off: are you sure you need it? Secondly, what you found there in your link is an extension which should come with the xmonad-contrib package. You don't paste that into your xmonad.hs.This should give you an idea of what you need to do.You should probably read up on XMonad in general though, to figure out how to configure xmonad properly.

I decided to give the xmonad desktop environment a try. First I did a 'sudo apt-get install gnome-panel' as the prerequisite for running Xmonad on Gnome. I then did a 'sudo apt-get install xmonad'. Once it was installed I logged off and logged in again using the Xmonad on Gnome menu option. I then attempted to open a terminal using 'alt-shift-enter'.

I am using the xmonad windows manager under Linux Mint 13 and is lacking a smooth font rendering.

Under MATE or Cinnamon, the fonts are smoothed, and choosing the session xmonad with Gnome, fonts are smoothed also. In addition, if I run gnome-settings-daemon while in xmonad, the fonts become smoothed also.

But is there a way to have nice looking fonts without resorting to Gnome?

I'm not sure if it's a proper place to ask about adjusting Xmonad, but I don't know where else to ask.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 with gnome-shell (so it looks like Gnome 2 with horizontal borders on the top and the bottom of the screen) with Xmonad running.

So it turns out, I had xmonad.hs as ~/.xmonad.hs not ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs...  Pretty embarassing.  But I'll resist the temptation to delete the thread in hopes someone gets a chuckle out of it.  In my defence, I did figure it out all on my own.

I run Xmonad within a Gnome 3 fallback session.Whenever I'm resuming from suspend, the top panel applets disappear until after 3-5 minutes.If my battery is low, the battery applet shows an empty gauge. However, after charging to 100% (confirmed by tooltip hover) the gauge still shows the battery as empty.
