RE: Add new conntion with DBus API

[Nguyen Canh Toan <Toannc5 viettel com vn>]

Dear Jirka,

Thank for helping me,

When I try to run add-system-connection.py without/with root privileged, it
complain with messages as follow respectively:

dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.System.NotPrivileged:
org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.system.modify
auth_admin_keep_always

dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.System.NotPrivileged: Error getting
information about caller: org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GeneralError:
Unable to lookup session information for process '22151'

Could you please explain it to me? It's very lack of information when google
it.

Thanks,
Toan Nguyen

You search for AddConnection() method of 
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings interface.

For a simple python example see:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/examples/pyth
on/add-
system-connection.py

More complex example can be found here:

For specification of settings parameters 
see:http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers/settings-spec-08.htm
