GNOME Network Manager not working after update to 0.9.4

I’ve been using GNOME Network Manager 0.9.0 on KDE 4 and it worked fine with the icon showing in the Notification Area. After updating to 0.9.4 on startup I can see it trying to load in the Notification area with an empty space but it never shows. When I run nm-applet in the terminal I get the error below.

** Message: applet now removed from the notification area

** (nm-applet:1908): WARNING **: get_all_cb: couldn’t retrieve system settings properties: (32) Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and ‘systemctl status dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service’ for details…

I tried a few solutions where it required oxygen icons to work which I already have when using 0.9.0. along with making sure it auto starts. One solution I couldn’t try was editing the rc.conf file in /etc/ which I don’t have.

Have you locked the status of some packages.

None, but after talking to a friend what I did was apparently a no no. He told me that I shouldn’t update to packages from a factory repository that haven’t been released by the main repository. So I just reverted back to an older version.

You should not have a factory repository enabled.
