Howdy all,
*Before* reading my mail, please note: openSUSE 11.4 ran perfect on my machine, after the upgrade to 12.1, networkmanager doesn't run at all.I can't connect to my router anymore (which worked yesterday, even with 12.1). The result is a completely angry user, who just wants his sane and working 11.4-like system back. Please excuse my offending mail, but I'm boiling totally.
My problem:
After the upgrade, NetworkManager doesn't ran anymore. I did some searching and fixed the problem. Now, today, I started my machine but NM can't connect anymore. It just says something like:
Wait for authorization
On 11.4 it used to be KWallet which asked my a password for NM. With 12.1 it's a KDE-su like one.
Does anyone else has the problem? I'm writing from my notebook because my workstation isn't connected anymore.
Please, can you help me? Gah, I wish I'd joined this thread earlier before the flames started. This issue is due to SUSE-specific excessively (IMO) strict default PolicyKit-1 configuration for NetworkManager, not KDE or GNOME:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=716291
Comment #9 gives a workaround that restores the 11.4 behaviour, that I think should be the default.
In https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=716291#c9 you wrote the following: I suggest (for laptops at least) org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control auth_admin:auth_admin:yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own auth_admin:auth_admin:yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.protected auth_admin:auth_admin:yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.open auth_admin:auth_admin:yes org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Device.Control auth_admin:auth_admin:yes The last one allows the user to unlock the modem with a PIN I think Juergen's suggestion goes too far, since that allows all logged in users to modify all users' connections. Where exactly can I find the config-file to make the change?
Then everyone else on the thread, please consider how much funner* your Sunday email would have been had you checked bugzilla a bit harder before launching the 'Report bugs upstream'/'Ask for a refund!'/"In the real world, you'd be fired for this"/'KDE sucks!'/'You suck!'

I guess since humans are argue-addicted you´ll never will stop that behavior. Just have a look at me: I´m sometimes (only sometimes?) acting like a complete jackass. Even without knowing about /that/ I´m acting alike ;-) thanks for your help, --kdl -- -o) Kim Leyendecker, openSUSE Community Member /\\ GPG Key: 664265369547B825 | leyendecker@opensuse.org _\_v http://www.opensuse.org - Linux for open minds -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
