Hi there,
I'm logged in over the network to a Debian machine, trying to run nmtui
as my user to connect to a wireless network. Unfortunately, I get
errors regarding privileges.
Firstly nmtui told me "Could not activate connection: Not authorized to
control networking." I added my user to the netdev group (and logged
out/logged in) but it didn't make a difference.
I created a file,
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/90-nm-netdev.pkla, with this
content:
[Network Manager authorisation]
Identity=unix-group:netdev
Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.*;org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes
and the operation still fails but the error message changed to "Could
not activate connection: Insufficient privileges."
Running `nmcli general permission' as my user gives:
PERMISSION VALUE
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-network yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wifi yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wwan yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wimax yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sleep-wake yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.protected yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.open yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system no
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.hostname yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.global-dns yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.reload yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.checkpoint-rollback yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-statistics yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-connectivity-check yes
Can anyone tell me what I have to do to authorise nmtui to make wifi
connections?
Thanks,
Bob
