[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1003078: network-manager-gnome: Can't disable Networking/Wi-Fi, can't remove/edit connections (No polkit authorization)

[Ivan Vilata i Balaguer]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 1.24.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After updating `network-manager-gnome`, the toggles "Enable Networking" and
"Enable Wi-Fi" that show on right-click over the `nm-applet` appear active but
grayed out and not responsive.  Also, if I choose "Edit Connections...", and
choose a connection in the "Network Connections" list, the "-" and gears
buttons in the bottom remain grayed out and a tooltip shows up with
"No polkit authorization to perform the action".

Since I'm not running the whole GNOME, I installed `policykit-1-gnome`, ran
`/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1` and restarted
`nm-applet` with same results.  As my user belongs to `netdev`, I also tried
the `/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/WHATEVER.pkla` config mentioned
in #642136 to no avail (after restarting polkit and NetworkManager):

    [Adding or changing system-wide NetworkManager connections]
    Identity=unix-group:netdev
    Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system
    ResultAny=no
    ResultInactive=no
    ResultActive=yes

Other applets like `nm-tray` allow me to disable Networking/Wi-Fi without
issues, and `nmtui-*` tools allow me to edit connections just fine, so it
seems specific to this package and not `network-manager`.

Thanks a lot, and cheers!
