Hi tosoth, is it now working after the updates? One announced, that checking #/etc/hosts helped, because the settings were not ok. Maybe it's a clue for you also. And yes I've read the specs and the manual from David Zeuthen as I mentioned above :-) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/Poli

Hi tosoth, I've just had a restart after updating and tried to open, same procedures, same results. Thanks for unwarning the warnings :-) The interesting thing is, when reading the PolicyKit specs and manuals, nowhere is mentioned the use case how to get in the network-manager, they only mention
