http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1051358 Bug ID: 1051358 Summary: Root password asked for when connecting to a new WiFi network Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME Assignee: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: badshah400@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- The root password prompt pops up when trying to connect to a new WiFi network, whether that network requires authentication (in which case it still pops-up even if you choose to only save the password for just the current user) or not. This makes it impossible for someone without the root password to just use any public wifi. We should default to saving the authentication password, if any, for the current user (by default it tries to save for all users, which is really ugly) and then just stop asking for the root password.
