Another use case for allowing connections from lightdm is where Ubuntu
won't boot into a desktop (it happens!) and you want to switch to a tty
console and access the internet (eg to run upgrades) but you have no
ethernet card. In this case it's a huge pain if you can't connect to the
wireless

The question is about the default setting for this and I would encourage
connections the user has established in the session to be available and
TenLeftFingers just turn it on? It's right in the settings.

Hi again.
After talking to Thomas Haller from redhat, it seems that we can make it
work just by enabling "all users may connect to this network" in network
manager GUI.

disabled by default, instead of being enabled like it

I can confirm this behavior on a fresh install of 16.04 on the Dell XPS 13
developer edition.
I get the same error message when trying to setup a wireless connection in
lightdm. I don't whether this connected or not but the hotkeys (volume up/down,
screen brightness) also don't work in lightdm.
@seb128: I tried two things.. First i used the NetworkManager.service
from 15.10 which was a bit different, but same result.
Then I reverted back and got the full log from syslog. here:

since systemd, it was not so easy. I did found out though, that when
changing to tty1-6 and loggin in, then changing to tty7 I can use
networkmanager from lightdm. But not before
having a networkmanager debug log might help, the credential are granted
in /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/unity-greeter.pkla so it
would be interesting to know which one it's trying to use exactly (the
