I hope that tells somebody something. Is it possible your messagebus (D-Bus) had a problem? Do you have any other D-Bus listeners that are having problems? The easiest way to test is to reboot and see if the problem persists. (Yes, this is not the only way, but it's easiest if you don't want to get into start/stopping services, and so forth.) If it *does* persist, check your PK configuration perhaps? [paul@salma ~]$ grep UseNetworkManager /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf UseNetworkManager=true (The default configuration is "true," by the way.) If PK is supposed to be using NetworkManager for managing your network connection and you disable a network connection in NM without telling it that you're managing it elsewhere, it may tell other apps that no network exists. You can set manual configurations in NetworkManager, or if you set them with system-config-network, you can mark them as not to be managed by NetworkManager, and PK's heuristics should just do the right thing. -- Paul W.
