I just ran into polkit hell + network-manager - like
Bill. This is how to
get network-manager working for your user, so you do not need to run it as
root:
Check your permissions - if you get "yes" on all lines, you are good, but
then you won't have network-manager issues at all: $ nmcli gen permissions
If you don't get "yes on all lines, then create this file:
#/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.rules
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control")
return "yes";
});
Now check again - all lines should say "yes":
$ nmcli gen permissions
Now you can do bad stuff with network connections from all your systms
users, but as you most likely are the only system user it should be ok:
$ nmtui
Nik
For what it's worth, here is the output that I get:
$ nmcli gen permissions
PERMISSION VALUE
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.checkpoint-rollback auth
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-connectivity-check yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-network yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-statistics yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wifi yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wimax yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wwan yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.reload auth
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.global-dns auth
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.hostname auth
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sleep-wake no
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.scan yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.open yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.protected yes
Not quite YES on every line. Don't know if auth is good or bad, and only one
line is NO. But maybe I don't want that, anyway? It looks like that would
connect the network on wake?
