[Solved]NetworkManager permission problem
So I have had a recent problem with my nm-applet. I have version 0.9.4.1 for both the NetworkManager and nm-applet. The problem I am having is that whenever I try changing anything with the nm-applet it gives me this message
I am already a member of the network group and I have tried adding root to the network in /etc/group but that doesn't change anything. I found this thread that says I should downgrade but they are using an older version then what I have. any ideas are greatly appreciated

Re: [Solved]NetworkManager permission problem
i think it is your policykit problem. check your /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy

Re: [Solved]NetworkManager permission problem
sorry too much caffeine today..
check for
<allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active>
and change to
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>where it says "allow control for network connections" in description section.
also see for error you are getting in the message section of that file.

Re: [Solved]NetworkManager permission problem
are you starting your session with consolekit or any login manager takes care of that?

Re: [Solved]NetworkManager permission problem
I think the earlier fix attempt in the org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy file broke my firefox install. I am connected to the internet and browsing on another browser works but I get a Server Not Found page when I try and go on any page. any ideas?

Re: [Solved]NetworkManager permission problem
no that has nothing to do with firefox , it may be something else.
