Hi again. After talking to Thomas Haller from redhat, it seems that we can make it work just by enabling "all users may connect to this network" in network manager GUI.
Now the questions is, why did that change from 15.10 to 16.04? It is not disabled by default, instead of being enabled like it should! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574020 Title: Can't use networkmanager from lightdm Status in NetworkManager: Confirmed Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity-greeter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to 16.04 desktop (unity) (clean install) from 14.04, (so not really upgrading, but you get the point) I noticed that lightdm with unity-greeter (all stock, nothing changed) can't connect to WiFi with network-manager. WiFi works after loggin it, but it should be working before also, if not, what's the point in having an icon there :) I get the following message: Failed to add/activate connection. - (1) Insufficient privileges. - see image. This worked fine in 14.04. I have noticed this problem in both my desktop (Broadcom WiFi) and Laptop (Intel WiFi) - So it has nothing to be with the chip. Feel free to ask for more info.
