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!
