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. Some info that may be helpful is attached... ** Attachment added: "screenshot much like OP's" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12167743/perms-error.png -- [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
