I also found a similar issue that I tried suggested fix on:
And
From the reply to one of the threads, I do not have the path path="/org/gnome/nm-applet/eap/" in my /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.nm-applet.eap.gschema.xml. I still tried to compile using glib-compile-schemas setting /usr/share/glib-2.0/ as the directory.
i have
libnma 1.10.6-1
libnma-common 1.10.6-1
I also tried to launch the network manager from the terminal using nm-connection-editor and did the same steps, this is what i get in the terminal:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I check the logs using journalctl -x and got the following:
Another thing I tried was to edit my existing local network connection. As from the previous threads suggested that its an issue on the network manager. I was able to update and configure my local wired connection, like changing name, setting it to DHCP to static and back.
Im really new to arch and eos in general so please excuse my newbie-ness.
That will install it into networkmanager and you will be able to edit, turn it off and on. Any errors from the terminal post them here. I only have to use this method from within a VM to import a ovpn config.
aces! Thanks sammiev!.. not errors at all… now the question is… how do I fix the nm-applet crash? I have been rsearching and nothing comes up from what I can see. Do you ahve any suggestion where I can check aside from the journalctl to check for errors?
I believe it’s the way the VM gets the connection from the host. I never really looked into it or needed to.
You should be able to edit it now in networkmanager, start and stop it and whatever you want.
I also do the same for wireguard but change openvpn to wireguard. Glad I was able to help and Good Luck.
Hey sammiev, just an fyi, its not only happening in VM, I have an LG 15, running on EOS with i3. I just checked today, I cannot used the nm-editor to add new vpn. Which I remember I was able to before since I already have config added to it.
Thanks for the heads up, I never tried adding a new connection by importing on a bare metal install in a while, but always adding vpn or wireguard connections to VM.
You are welcome! Glad to hear that it is working now!
In the meantime, if you don’t want to add nm-connection-editor to your pacman.conf to be ignored, you could pass --ignore nm-connection-editor to pacman when updating the system:
sudo pacman Syu --ignore nm-connection-editor
Personally, I prefer this to adding it to the conf file.
