I do not see a way around this for normal users. Clicking "Cancel" on the authenticate dialog puts the user back at square one.
The expected behavior is that you pick a network from the NM menu, it prompts for a key (if required), you enter the key and connect. Currently non-admins can't connect to wireless networks. I have dozens of users with this issue, the only way around it was to allow them to add connections system-wide by overriding the polkit defaults, which I assume is a bad idea. Why is NM defaulting to adding system-wide networks all of a sudden? Why is that even an option if we don't let non-admins do it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/964705 Title: System policy prevents modification of network settings for all users To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/964705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
