Hi.
I recently had a change: now, nm-applet needs a sudo or it does not show
in the panel, and nm-connection-editor only works without a sudo. It
seems that NM has been changed.
Moreover, everything works fine now for a user whose id is greater (or
equal) to 1000. I guess it means that the bug is more or less solved.
Thank you (for your attention and the change in NM, if not for your
direct help).

No authentification dialog -> no rights

Fix Released
Bug description:
Hi.
I upgraded my XUbuntu from 13.10 to 14.04 this summer, and since then
Network-Manager (NM in the following) seems unable to pop-up a dialog to ask
for a password. As a consequence:
- I cannot modify my connections, some (mostly WPA enterprise) are shown with
greyed (cannot be changed?) and missing data;
- I cannot connect to wifi as connection password is not asked.
It is clearly a configuration problem: everything works well with a
live USB. Everything was also fine on 13.10. I already reinstalled
NM and gnome-keyring, without any success. And I'd prefer not to
reinstall all, as I have a HUGE number of modifications to do
(addition and suppression of packages). Is there a simple way to
script that?
I have a turnaround:
- nm-connection-editor works well only if I start it with a sudo (otherwise,
I have the behaviour described above);
- once the connection password is added in nm-connection-editor (I usually
ask it to be entered for each connection), I can use a "sudo nmcli con up id
'...'" to connect, but the password is not saved (for next boot).
I moreover discovered that nm-applet needs now to be also started with
a sudo to get the icon in the notification tray.
Does anyone have an idea of the origin of the problem ? (No answer for
2 weeks on forum.ubuntu-fr.org.)
