[sugar] Error while launching sugar on Edgy

[bryan barnard]

Hello,

Thank you for your answers.

Actually it seems I have a couple of problems with ubuntu. One is that
the NetworkManager service is not present, which is solvable by
installing the 'network-manager' package.

The other is that the ubuntu dbus default configuration doesn't allow
sugar to own the 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo' service. After
editing /etc/dbus-1/system.conf  by adding
<allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"/>
before
</policy>
and restarting the service with
sudo /etc/init.d dbus restart
the error message is no longer there.

I'll update the wiki,

Cheers,

Raphael
