Re: do not use GUI choice config

[rain blue <b123114 gmail com>]

Dear,

       Thanks jirka reply.

       Yes, nm-applet doesn't have "selecting config"

       So, I search DBus about org.freedesktop.NetworkManager that has ActivateConnection.

i use this DBUS method that can change user configuration file & reconnect.

But, Step.1.when i use org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection Update DBUS configuration file.

       Step.2.then reconnect -> FAIL ( NetworkManager was disappeared )

Is it Mutually exclusive？

Or is it not "Formal" setting ?

Thanks 

blue

If by "selecting config" you mean activating a user connection, you can't do
that. Because nm-applet is not running. nm-applet is not just a GUI, but also
implements a user settings service that provides configuration to NM when
activation is requested. And when it's not running, no
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings D-Bus service is available.
Read http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManagerConfiguration about setting services.

If you only want to edit the data in user connections, you can do that via
gconf-editor, gconftool-2 or manually in .gconf dir.
