Description David 2008-03-27 22:44:42 UTC

Version:           svn (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

I tried to use solid with networkmanager backend, so I tried it in a konsole to see if it could connect to my wireless.
After a research I discovered the commands to use, and the device_uni and network_uni.

I've got the UNIs that way:

solid-network listdevices and solid-network listnetworks /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/wlan0

So finally I typed:

solid-network set network /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/wlan0 /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/wlan0/Networks/StormByte wpapsk wpa2 tkip <<mypassword>>

And I had:

QDBusObjectPath: invalid path ""
QDBusObjectPath: invalid path ""
Object::connect: No such slot Solid::Control::Network::_k_destroyed(QObject*)
Object::connect: No such signal Solid::Control::Network::signalStrengthChanged(int)
Object::connect: No such signal Solid::Control::Network::bitrateChanged(int)
Object::connect: No such signal Solid::Control::Network::associationChanged(bool)
Object::connect: No such signal Solid::Control::Network::authenticationNeeded()
Object::connect: No such slot Solid::Control::WirelessNetwork::_k_destroyed(QObject*)

And as a result, it was unable to connect to my wireless AP.

I think I did things correctly so is this a bug (those missed signals and slots)?

I don't know if it is useless or not, but I after installed knetworkmanager (for kde3.5), and it could connect to wifi without problems, so NetworkManager works and is not the problem here.

By the way, I keep receiving messages like: "QDBusObjectPath: invalid path "" " in every solid command (get list of network devices, get list of networks, etc...) not only in connecting wireless. Does it have something to do with this bug?

Many of those warnings should be fixed now, just a couple of them is left.

Which NetworkManager version are you using?

Comment 4 Pino Toscano 2008-06-11 19:50:23 UTC

All the warnings should be gone, but solid-network for now cannot be used for connecting to a network.

Comment 5 Dario Andres 2009-04-03 01:01:51 UTC

Any news on this? Reassigning to Solid

Comment 6 Lamarque V. Souza 2011-02-28 06:05:57 UTC

Is this problem still happening?

Comment 7 David 2011-02-28 15:17:03 UTC

Can't test now since I don't use networkmanager nowadays. I switched to wicd because it is more functional.
