Hi Israel,

I have been testing these custom tarballs and also other similar
tarballs (It is easy to make tarballs with zmktbl.) I also make a
compressed image file (file.img.xz) to be installed with mkusb.

The systems installed with the OBI-installer and with mkusb work, but
they cannot in turn install good systems via the OBI-installer. The
nm-applet bug re-appears:

There is (wired) network, yet nm-applet indicates no network (a red
circle with a white cross).

I tried these fixes:
----
Apparently (not sure how) but /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
is the problem
to fix:
(possibly this one)
sudo chmod -x /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper

(These two for sure)
sudo chmod u+s /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
sudo chmod g+x /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper

(maybe this one)
sudo chown root:messagebus /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
----
But they do not fix the issue. What can be the problem this time?

Best regards
Nio
