Re: [Bug 1045972] Re: Administrator password for WLAN-connections?
Hallo Mathieu, Yes, I understand your opinion, it makes sence in enterprice environments. But in the situation, when outdoor staffs have to connect their company laptops from outside the company, the IT-administrators have to set up your special file into //var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/. /Do they all know this? A lot of private users choose Linux, because they want a relatively secure system. Do they like the solution to use sudo, when they are logged in as normal users (to surf the internet)? And what about the families with one administrator and kids and grandparents? On private computers (people are the only users of their system), it's recommended everybody to use at least two separate logins, independent from the respective operating system. One login for admin purpose only, the other for daily work as a normal user without admin rights. And many programmers suggest never (!) to type the admin password, when a normal user is logged in. We cannot imagine all security vulnerabilities in this context. Think about temporary keyloggers, realized f.i. by JavaScript + XSS, or by Flash Player content. For better clarity and comfort, please, could you integrate the assignment of the permission „create network connections“ into the admin application „users and groups“? Optimally subdivided into cable, WLAN, Bluetooth, GSM and so on. Formerly group dip? Best regards, J. R.

Re: [Bug 1045972] Re: Administrator password for WLAN-connections?
Hallo Mathieu, thanks for your answer. Is there really no way back to designe the nm-manager, that users can create new WLAN-connections only for themselves (not system-wide) by default? I think, this would be much easier for many Ubuntu-users, who are not IT-insiders. And a question: 1. Which file should be changed / what should be the name of the new file in /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/? Best regards, J. R. B. Am 12.09.2012 04:22, schrieb Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre: This is because the Available to all users checkbox needs to be unticked when the connection is created. Once it's already there; you will need administrative access to change it since opening up the dialog could allow you to see the WLAN password. As an alternative; edit the connection as the user that created it (the administrator user), or ask an administrator to toggle the setting. If you mean creating a new wireless network from the menu items when you click nm-applet; then this policy has always been in place: to create system-wide (available to all users) connections, you need administrator rights. What changed is that connections are available to all users by default, because we create them in a different manner which is much easier to maintain and above all, allows the connections to be saved (backed up) and restored. This is not going to change. If you need to have access to create such connections, you may wish to either give yourself administrator access if this is your machine and a conscious decision, or ask the administrator to adjust the policykit policies on the affected system. The policy to change would be: org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system (which means Modify network connections for all users) It can be changed by adding a file to /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/ with contents such as: [Changing system-wide NetworkManager connections] Identity=unix-user:myusername Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system ResultActive=yes See also /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/com.ubuntu.desktop.pkla.

Re: [Bug 1045972] Re: Administrator password for WLAN-connections?
Hallo Mathieu, thanks for your answer. But you could not convince me, because I cannot reach this option to uncheck Available to all users, because the question for admin password comes before. Did you really check this problem with a newly set 12.04 with a second user (without admin rights)? Maybe I am totally studip, but please explain me step by step, how to uncheck Available to all users as a second user without admin rights. And please consider, that exactly the same pocedure was without any problems in 10.04: Set up a new Ubuntu, make an second user, and he can connest to a WLAN without any troubles. Best greetings, J.

[Bug 1045972] [NEW] Administrator password for WLAN-connections?
Public bug reported: In Ubuntu 10.04 a normal user could connect to new WLANs. In 12.04 (with Unity) a question for admin password comes up with this action. I think, connecting to new WLANs should stay a right of normal users. I cannot be with them everytime, or I cannot give them the admin password. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1045972 Title: Administrator password for WLAN-connections?

[Bug 261400] Re: trackpoint scrolling is not working
Timo Aaltonen is right. I used a workaround for that, because evdev supports EmulateWheel but it doesn't support EmulateWheelTimeout. That means, you can use mousebutton 3 (in case you own a ThinkPad it's 2) for scrolling but not for clicking as 3rd mousebutton. That's terrible! I hope intrpid will support that soon. -- trackpoint scrolling is not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261400 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
