jfernyhough has found a better fix here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager
Change the default policy context in both /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf and /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm- applet.conf so it says 'allow' instead of 'deny'. <policy context="default"> <allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/> <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/> <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/> </policy> Then restart dbus sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart and launch the applet nm-applet -- [[intrepid]] nm-applet can't start: permission issues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249404 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
