Hi Leszek and thanks for your reply :)
Hi Lubuntu Community,
Not sure if you're aware of my real life project [1] or not which is
part of StartUbuntu Project [2] but for you to know, I am using
Lubuntu 13.10 as one of the systems beside Xubuntu 12.04.3 and Ubuntu
GNOME 13.10 :)
However, Lubuntu is the only flavor of Ubuntu that I am using which
asks for the user password before connecting to any Wireless Network
AND whenever I do need to edit any listed Wireless Network on the
Network Manager.
Why?
It seems to be a policy kit issue here. Can you check the policykit
rules of Xubuntu and or Ubuntu Gnome to check wether there is a rule
missing for Lubuntu
How to check that? I'm on Xubuntu 12.04 now (my default system nowadays).
Try to look at the files in /etc/polkit-1/ (and subfolders) aswell as
/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d
How to stop that?
I guess this should work albeit its taken from the Arch Wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager#Set_up_PolicyKit_permissions
Will have a look but not sure if Arch Wiki will help for a Lubuntu
issue. Thanks for the link :)
I guess the only difference here is that Lubuntu has its rules.d
directory in /usr/share/polkit-1 instead of /etc/polkit-1 . As all linux
distros use policykit nowadays there shouldn't be any difference on that
low level.
I am not sure about autologin though. This might cause entering the user
password as authentication. (If autologin is not enabled it
authenticates through the password entered in the login manager).
I am not here to argue about the philosophy of enabling that feature
or not fixing that bug yet but actually I'm trying to make my life
easier and the people I am converting to Linux, they have never used
it before.
I'm sure I have seen that before when I was involved here but my head
has tons of stuff that it is hard to go dig for this now :)
In my opinion this is a bug. Policykit should only ask for password when
you want to create a "system wide" connection.
Not sure if this bug reported but Phill long time ago is the same as
this issue I'm asking about?
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/964705
It is frustrating for someone like me so I can only imagine it might
be very frustrating for 'new' users.
This comment sums it up I guess:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/964705/comments/4
"System-wide" connections need authentication.
Perhaps if you connect to the network manually by disabling system-wide
connection (it should be a checkbox) solves this problem for you.
I think I installed seahorse and deleted the password required for
connecting to the internet.
I agree that this should be fixed!
