Sorry that bug was left open for such a long time. Charlie, as I said in
the other report, your comment is not really related to a bug in
network-admin.

Could somebody tell me whether this bug happens in version more recent
than Hardy? It's really too late to fix it there anyway, but we could
make sure it's fixed for Lucid, which is the only goal we can have now.
Thanks!

Can not set a static IP address using the live environment 8.04.4 dated
2010-01-21.1. If set using network manager, the system refuses to open
any other applications, can not obtain logs because the connection is
missing, and can not save to any device even in a tty.

2008-04-22 Thread Benjamin Thyreau
I still do have this issue, as of three days from the release day of
Hardy. Back from Hibernate and wanting to switch to "static IP" , the
Gnome network-admin keep pretending i don't have the permission for it.
Same screenshot as the posted ones. I basically can't change anything
network-related anymore (except with manual command-line work). Even
launching network-admin as root can't help, as the "unlock" button is
disabled. Maybe a policykit issue ?

2008-03-07 Thread Cristóbal M . Palmer
I can confirm this bug. My temporary workaround is as follows:

1) open a terminal, issue 'sudo killall NetworkManager'
2) go to System -> Administration -> Network and enter settings to connect to 
whatever network you need to connect to.

Here's what happened in my case:

I was trying to configure an access point and had reason to give myself
a static address, so I clicked the wireless icon and selected "Manual
configuration..." and then disabled roaming mode. After I had finished,
I went back to the dialog and tried to re-enable roaming mode, only to
be given the same error the OP received.

Some info that may be helpful is attached...

On Hardy A5 I have the same trouble with permission being denied on the
second try without reboot. I managed to get two chances one in network
settings, and another in manual configuration. I haven't got it to
connect yet,   Hardy is on a USB so I'm on a gutsy on my main disk where
I have wireless where wireless drops out if I use a live disk for
something, so I'm used to resetting the connection, but two tries
doesn't seem enough..

Also, login/logout does not fix the issue, I have to reboot the machine.
After reboot, I can make one change, after that I always get "Permission
denied".

I've retested various sequences of configuration changes and now it
always works the first time I open the dialog and starts failing on the
second and consequent tries.

2008-02-26 Thread Cristóbal M . Palmer
Hi,

This inexplicably fixed itself this morning. Several reboots had not
cleared it before, but now it's gone.

Steps I took that don't seem to explain the resolution:

1) With laptop off, plug in _wired_ connection and utility power.
2) Boot laptop, log in. Wired connection works.
3) Unplug wired connection.
4) Click network connection icon in the panel, select Manual Configuration
5) Authenticate to make changes
6) Reset wireless interface to roaming mode, click OK (this was the step that 
was previously failing).
7) Select wireless network in range.

Perhaps the original poster can confirm that following the above steps
clears his problem?

Hi,

I can no longer make _any_ changes to network settings from the gnome
interface. I've fallen back to using ifconfig, iwlist and iwconfig to be
able to join/switch wireless networks.

If there's anything I can test or any other information I can provide to
help track this down, please let me know.

Cheers,
CMP

So anything in the Connections tab will cause the error, and the other

I cannot anything else:
- change hostname - I accept and close, no change & no error
- add DNS server, close, no change & no error
- add host, close, no change & no error
However:
- I enabled my wireless card, changed roaming to static WEP, entered some 
random data for essid, key,... - after I clicked ok, the wireless connection 
got broken for about a second and then connected straight back to the router 
with usual WPA2 roaming mode settings. I got the same permission error and 
roaming mode was back in the settings dialog.

Do you get the error for setting anything, or just roaming?  Can you change 
other things that just won't actually get applied?
