Package: network-manager Version: 0.9.10.0-1 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I cannot control network-manager as a normal user anymore. I used to be able to use the network-manager KDE tray applet: connect/disconnect the wired interface, connect/disconnect the VPN interfaces. However after a recent upgrade (systemd? libpam-systemd?) I cannot use it anymore. Clicking the connect/disconnect button on wired interfaces does nothing, and on VPN interfaces I get this error: Aug 10 19:31:40 debian NetworkManager[2724]: <warn> Failed to activate 'MyVPN': Not authorized to control networking. I can reproduce this everytime, after a reboot too. It is reproducible with nmcli too: $ nmcli connection up MyVPN Error: Connection activation failed: Not authorized to control networking. As a workaround I can use sudo to invoke the cli, but I loose the convenience of the tray applet (which is useful with WiFi, but I don't have WiFi on this box): $ sudo nmcli connection up MyVPN My user is member of netdev, plugdev, and I haven't changed group membership lately: $ id uid=1000(edwin) gid=1000(edwin) groups=1000(edwin),24(cdrom),25(floppy),27(sudo),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),104(scanner),107(bluetooth),109(netdev),122(kvm),123(libvirt) I am using sysvinit-core and systemd-shim, i.e. I am not using systemd-as-pid1. systemd logs this to kmsg (I opened a separate bug about that), I don't know if it is related: [ 27.565727] systemd-logind[3382]: Failed to enable subscription: No such method 'Subscribe' [ 27.566597] systemd-logind[3382]: New seat seat0.
