new install of Tw using NetworkManager.
starting/stopping/changing network requires root permissions. I cannot even remotely restart the subj computer w/o physical access to provide root password. none of my other Tw installs with NM require this.
how to change?
found discussion on google but nothing that appears relevant. polkit configs are the same on all Tw boxes. wtf!
tks, Patrick, is this for a wired connection? I recently ( provider + modem router changed ) found that the wired connection is automatically set to be used by all users, and afterwards attempts to edit the connection indeed required the root password. This on my laptop with KDE - TW and NM
no. but I have several other Tw/NM boxes which do not require root pw to attach/change/add/subtract/... requiring root pw is a killer. should be able to adjust that *somewhere* and polkit may be the place but it is not consistant as my other Tw's have same polkit defaults. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
