[Bug] NetworkManager applet doesn't popup password dialog connecting to WiFi on raspberry pi OS bookworm about budgie-desktop HOT 11 CLOSED

network-manager-applet is developed by GNOME and not by Budgie Desktop. Please report your issue at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/network-manager-applet

Budgie 10.7.1 is not a supported Budgie release either. If you have the option to install anything more modern that supports the latest Budgie and GNOME stack, I would suggest doing that.

What is the supported budgie desktop version on Debian bookworm?

from budgie-desktop.

We only support the latest release of Budgie Desktop, which is currently 10.8.2. We don't do backports to old versions of Budgie Desktop, that is done separately by package maintainers such as @fossfreedom. trixie and sid have the latest release of Budgie Desktop.

Probably just easier for you to fire up Budgie Control Center and set up your wifi from there :)

Would 10.8.2 work on X11 with openbox WM?
I currently replace budgie-wm with openbox on startup. It worked in bullseye and buster for me with no issues. So far on bookworm there are 2 issues no password popups in WiFi and budgie application menus can’t be reorganized by .menu file in ~/.config/menus

thanks

budgie-wm is the expected window manager for Budgie.

Same issue with budgie 10.8.2

What is your login manager? lightdm? GDM?

Please detail what is your starting point and how you installed budgie. With apt recommendations?

I've tried from a testing image on real hardware - installed with no additional options such as the default desktop environment nor any other optional installs.

Then installed slick-greeter & budgie-desktop, arc-theme and papirus icons packages - accepted all recommendations. Wifi pop-up was observed.

It is used without login manager.

To reproduce you can install lite bookworm version of BBN OS for Raspberry

from budgie-desktop.

That isn't a recognised distro by the team, nor do we recommend using budgie without lightdm. I would first test from a proper Debian system so that its easier to compare and contrast what is installed.

The password dialog requires policykit and this initiated correctly from a login manager + kicking gnome-session + budgie-desktop.

from budgie-desktop.

The system was built from Raspberry PI Bookworm OS Lite with budgie installed.

When it's build from Raspberry PI Bullseye OS Lite with budgie with about same scripts, then password windows popup.

What could have caused such a regression in bookworm since bullseye?

Thanks

from budgie-desktop.

Probably systemd related - much of the gnome stack moved over to using systemd to initialise things.

This is going to take some investigatory work - look at

journalctl -ae --full

Scroll back to look at what's being kicked off around the time of running /usr/bin/budgie-desktop - compare this from a standard Debian budgie install.

Remember a login manager would ensure firing up all of these in the correct order starting with the xsession stuff https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/tree/main/src/session
