Hi,
Running networking on cable with openSUSE 11.4 and gnome2. The network & internet was running fine till I installed NFS Server/client via Yast. After that the nm-applet takes too long to come up. When I try to speed it up via the terminal, by typing ‘nm-applet’, i get the output:
An instance of nm-applet is alredy running.
constructor(): Couldn’t initialize the D-Bus manager.
Great help is needed. Thanks,
RSP2
Maybe somehow your system got switched from using NetowrkManager to ifup ?
Do You have this checkbox enabled ?
Chapter

Hi Greg,
Ya; the NetworkManager checkbox is enabled and the nm-applet does come up bringing up the network along, but it takes quite some time for it to do that - much more than the usual time it used to take before i configured NFS. It seems the D-Bus manager is delaying it. How does one speed that up?
Thanks and Regards,

Hmm good question. Maybe the nfs install package changes some D-Bus timer. I wonder why this happened in the first place. Does using this command :
# /etc/init.d/network restart
speeds things up ?
Anything interesting in “/var/log/NetworkManager” or “/var/log/messages” ?
What is your output of this command ?:
grzes@opensuse:~> cat /etc/sysconfig/network/config | grep WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES
# these interfaces, but not longer as set in WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES.
# WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES is a global wait for all mandatory interfaces in
WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES="30"
# Default is to use WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES/2 seconds in normal ifup runs.
# is done, but /etc/init.d/network waits WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES seconds
Best regards,
Greg
Hi Greg,
Yes, the command ‘# /etc/init.d/network restart’ does speed it up considerably.
Output of the other command is as under:
rsp@rsp-laptop:~> sudo cat /etc/sysconfig/network/config | grep WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES
WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES=“30”
Thanks and Regards,

This looks fine to me. I’m afraid I can’t help You out because I’ve got no idea what is the actual problem,
Best regards,
Greg
