I'm trying to connect with ethernet rather than wifi, but when I start nm-applet and try to change settings (there doesn't seem to be a way to say "connect to ethernet" other than "connect automatically") I get these mysterious messages (and no connection):
Code: Select all
** Message: Cannot save connection due to error: Editor initializing...
** Message: Connection validates and can be saved
** Message: Remote error from secret service: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files
2 - "Connection validates and can be saved" - is it saved or not?
3 - When I "Edit->Save", with or without changing anything, I get that mysterious message from my good friends (ha! ha!) at freedesktop.org .
I do not have "keyring" packages installed. Are they required for ethernet but NOT Wifi?
https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-h ... ct.html.en says:
"To set up most wired network connections, all you need to do is plug in a network cable. The wired network icon (settings) is displayed on the top bar with three dots while the connection is being established. The dots disappear when you are connected."
I don't see any dots and it doesn't connect....
Edit: After installing gnome-keyring and rebooting, it still can't connect but the freedesktop nonsense is gone:
Code: Select all
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
