[arch-general] NetworkManager from Commandline
Hi guys, I'm moving from KDE to Fluxbox, I want to keep using the NetworkManger. I have configured a lots of connection in it(WiFi / Cisco VPN for example). But I can't access my secrets to it. nmcli con up uuid 7f29abd0-c0d5-4e55-8796 Error: Connection activation failed: no valid VPN secrets. I guess, I saved them in the keyring file, how can I get access from the cli? Is there maybe another tool to mange the connection or getting access to the KDE Keyring file?

I had this issue too in awesome. The workaround for me was to start plasma-desktop, connect to a wifi, kill plasma-desktop. After that you can use nmcli to connect/disconnect to any wifi. I did report the bug here too[1], but nothing did happen. Hope this help. [1] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690457 -- Andrea Arch Linux Developer

I don't use kde, but I am quite happy using nm-applet with my tiling window manager. I don't know if that is acceptable for you, but it works for me.

You can store the secrets and paths to secret files directly in the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/* if you don't want to depend on a keyring.
