When I try, a dialogue box pops up saying; "Failed to activate {SSID} Not authorized to control networking." I have spent some time trawling the web but no obvious solution was found, but one post mentioned "nmcli g permissions" which I tried as user and using sudo. User output; PERMISSION VALUE org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-network no org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wifi no org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wwan no org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wimax no org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sleep-wake no org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control auth org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.protecte d no org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.open no org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.sys tem no org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own auth org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.hos tname auth org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.glo bal-dns auth org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.reload auth org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.checkpoint-rollback auth org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-statistics no org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-connectivity-check no org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.scan unknown Sudo output; org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-network yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wifi yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wwan yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wimax yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sleep-wake yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.protecte d yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.open yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.sys tem yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.hos tname yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.glo bal-dns yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.reload yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.checkpoint-rollback yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-statistics yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-connectivity-check yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.scan unknown Now it seems to me that I should have more permissions as a user. I have checked what the User output is when you boot into the live ISO and it has all the same permissions as the Sudo output shown above. So my guess would be that this is what myproblem is. How can I fix these permission issues as a workaround while you investigate this bug. Thanks. Jim!
