@Anton Thanks.

[Bug 1782263] Re: NetworkManager authentication problems caused by polkit
This is likely a bug in network-manager, not policykit...adding network- manager to this.

Thanks, Fabian, for the link to the polkit bug tracker (I filed that bug against polkit). It seems from that tracker that the problem has now been fixed. However, the fixed version has yet to arrive on Mint. Indeed it may not yet have arrived on Ubuntu. If it has yet to reach Ubuntu, I feel it is unlikely that Mint will get it, until it does reach Ubuntu. What to do in the meantime? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1782263 Title: NetworkManager authentication problems caused by polkit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit/+bug/1782263/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have discovered the cause - or trigger (proximate cause) - for at least most of the instances of this error on my system. It's this command, which I was running regularly via an automated script, and not as root. nmcli radio wifi Evidently, polkit - the new version thereof - doesn't like this. This does seem like a bug on Polkit's part. For, why should a normal user not check whether wifi is on? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1782263 Title: NetworkManager authentication problems caused by polkit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit/+bug/1782263/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
