[Bug 185770] Re: [Hardy] Cannot change settings in network settings (permissions)
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.

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. -- [Hardy] Cannot change settings in network settings (permissions) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185770 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

[Bug 185770] Re: [Hardy] Cannot change settings in network settings (permissions)
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.

[Bug 185770] Re: [Hardy] Cannot change settings in network settings (permissions)
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.

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.. -- [Hardy] Cannot change settings in network settings (permissions) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185770 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

[Bug 185770] Re: [Hardy] Cannot change settings in network settings (permissions)
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? -CMP -- [Hardy] Cannot change settings in network settings (permissions) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185770 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

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.

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.

A few more questions... Do you get the error for setting anything, or just roaming?
