Thanks Alesto due to private message, I fixed my previous comment and added

Create LXD VM desktop-noble lxc init --vm ubuntu:24.04 desktop-noble 2. Passthrough wifi device, in my case Intel Wifi via PCI works fine, some USB devices can have problem with initialization lxc config device add desktop-noble wifipci pci address=<pci_address> where pci_address is address of your device seen via lspci command, i.e. 00:14.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-S PCH CNVi WiFi (rev 11) 3. lxc start desktop-noble 2. lxc exec desktop-noble bash 3. Install ubuntu-desktop metapackage apt update apt install -y ubuntu-desktop 4. Set passwd for ubuntu user $ passwd ubuntu 5. Disable systemd-networkd-wait-online.service (otherwise it will wait for timeout) systemctl disable --now systemd-networkd-wait-online.service 6. Connect to the vga console lxc console --type=vga desktop-noble Wait for login screen to load Click on the top-right corner and pick the wifi network you would like to connect Expected result The window will popup to pick the choose the password The actual result Nothing happens, yet you will see in the logs: Feb 11 17:10:35 desktop-noble gnome-shell[1353]: Cursor update failed: drmModeAtomicCommit: Invalid argument Feb 11 17:10:35 desktop-noble rtkit-daemon[1312]: Successfully made thread 1376 of process 1353 owned by '124' high priority at nice level 0.

He has to do it at login screen, as his credentials are not stored in sssd cache yet. At this point no window is shown to enter the WiFi password. The window would only be shown _after_ user login (that is not possible due to missing credentials). For this reason we need the possibility to enter the WiFi password at login screen. This has worked at Ubuntu 22 but not on Ubuntu 24 anymore. I tried to test that in Jammy but I encountered issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spice-vdagent/+bug/2098014 I fought the issue might be due to the missing polkit rules but this seems not to be the case On other test machine with existing connection I needed to add this rule so gdm can configure the connection. I need to remove --no-debug flag from polkit to see when it fails systemctl edit polkit # That will be put in /etc/systemd/system/polkit.service.d/override.conf [Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd Then run systemctl daemon-reload # Create the following rule root@machine:~# cat /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/99-allwifi.rules polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system" && subject.user == "gdm") { return polkit.Result.YES; } }); systemctl daemon-reload systemctl restart polkit Otherwise I was not able to change the connection Feb 11 17:41:54 earl polkitd[8018]: Error performing authentication: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Cancelled: Authentication dialog was dismissed by the user (polkit-error-quark 1) Feb 11 17:41:54 earl polkitd[8018]: 17:41:54.934: Operator of unix-session:c1 FAILED to authenticate to gain authorization for action org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system for unix-process:2412:921 [/usr/bin/gnome-shell] (owned by unix-user:gdm) Feb 11 17:41:54 earl polkitd[8018]: Operator of unix-session:c1 FAILED to authenticate to gain authorization for action org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system for unix-process:2412:921 [/usr/bin/gnome-shell] (owned by unix-user:gdm) Some relevant links: How to set polkitd-1 rules since 23.10 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1291512/authentication-required-system-policy-prevents-wifi-scans-in-focalfossa ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 24.04 Package: gdm3 46.2-1ubuntu1~24.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.8.0-52.53-generic 6.8.12 Uname: Linux 6.8.0-52-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.28.1-0ubuntu3.3 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CloudArchitecture: x86_64 CloudBuildName: server CloudID: lxd CloudName: lxd CloudPlatform: lxd CloudSerial: 20250115 CloudSubPlatform: LXD socket API v. 1.0 (/dev/lxd/sock) Date: Tue Feb 11 15:20:39 2025 ProcEnviron: LANG=C.UTF-8 PATH=(custom, no user) TERM=xterm-256color SourcePackage: gdm3 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/2098016/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
