On this 12.04 install of Lubuntu, done from a minimal deboostrap followed by installing "lubuntu-desktop" the administrator users were manually put into the "adm" group. There was no "admin" group created by any package - that is only done by the installer. Therefore the solution was: sudo addgroup admin sudo adduser $USER admin log-out and log-in again and the prompt for root password goes away. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/964705 Title: System policy prevents modification of network settings for all users To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/964705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
