Public bug reported: After upgrading to 16.04 desktop (unity) (clean install) from 14.04, (so not really upgrading, but you get the point) I noticed that lightdm with unity-greeter (all stock, nothing changed) can't connect to WiFi with network-manager.
WiFi works after loggin it, but it should be working before also, if not, what's the point in having an icon there :) I get the following message: Failed to add/activate connection. - (1) Insufficient privileges. - see image. This worked fine in 14.04. I have noticed this problem in both my desktop (Broadcom WiFi) and Laptop (Intel WiFi) - So it has nothing to be with the chip. Feel free to ask for more info. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: lightdm ** Attachment added: "error" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574020/+attachment/4644286/+files/IMG_20160421_224655.jpg ** Summary changed: - networkmanager + Can't use networkmanager from lightdm ** Tags added: lightdm -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574020 Title: Can't use networkmanager from lightdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1574020/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
