Unable to add/manage connections via Network Manager
by The_Dark_Passenger from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4VY2F)
Hello,
I just recently discovered I am unable to add/modify connections via Network Manager. For example, when I try to add an OpenVPN connection, the following issue occurs,
Code:Dec 1 13:30:33 Hostname NetworkManager[1666]: <info> [1575225033.6603] audit: op="connection-add" pid=3160 uid=1000 result="fail" reason="Insufficient privileges"My user is part of the netdev group, and I was previously able to add a few OpenVPN configurations a few months back. I'm unsure which update may have caused this to change.
I have already tried following instructions that say to create a /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pkla file with the following content.
Code:[nm-applet]
Identity=unix-group:netdev
Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.*
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=yesBut this does not change anything. It also does appear that polkit is running.
Code:ps -ef | grep polkit
polkitd 1617 1 0 13:19 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd --no-debug
myuser 2604 1 0 13:19 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib64/kde4/libexec/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1I am running Slackware64 -Current, and updated as of Weds. last week. I am running KDE 4.14.38.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
