GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 505502
NetworkManager disconnect when loging out and in
Last modified: 2008-01-10 19:26:44 UTC
Please describe the problem: When I log out, and log in afterwards, I can see the NM applet to ask me to open the keyring and reconnect to the network. Steps to reproduce: 1. Connect to an encrypted network (i don't know for unencrypted ones) 2. log out 3. log in Actual results: Nm disconnects Expected results: NM should not disconnects Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
Well, in fact it DOES NOT happen every time, i just tried again and it stayed connected. By the way, I'm using a version labelled 0.7.0 from Fedora 8.
I tested again, it disconnects when I log out apparently ... In the Linux virtual terminal, ping doesn't work after I log out
This is by design because once you log out, the user settings are no longer available to NetworkManager. You want to copy your conneciton to the system settings, which aren't quite done yet but are in-progress.
This will be fixed with the system settings service in NM 0.7 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 331529 ***
