 Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2014 11:20 pm Post subject: network manager permissions |
 |
|
| hello. when I attempt to use the NetworkManager GUI with my regular user, I am denied the ability to configure my VPN or to create new VPN connections. I can connect to the internet with my regular user, and my root user can access NetworkManager. however, my regular user simply cant do admin tasks. |

What do you have in: /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/*-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.rules
Any relevant logs by dbus, pol[icy]kit, or network manager? |

the problem lies not with NetworkManager but with nm-applet. if I use
I get full access. how can I make nm-applet launch automatically with root privileges? |

try as root
| Code: |
rc-update add consolekit default
|
& reboot... (reboot is a windows admin's best friend)  |
