[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#540421: network-manager-gnome: Cannot authenticate to modify/create/delete system

[Julien Valroff]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

When I want to add/delete/edit a system connection as a standard user, nothing happens.

Here are the errors showing in terminal when hitting one of the "Modify" or "Remove" buttons
of nm-connection-editor:

** (nm-connection-editor:5175): WARNING **: Caught error: Method "ObtainAuthorization" with signature "suu" on interface 
"org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.AuthenticationAgent" doesn't exist

Cheers,
Julien
