Re: Network Manager patched on Ubuntu Karmic 9.10

Hey Dan!
Thanks for the reply and the link. Some if it I've done - that is, I've used the daily builds and I have did that
thing with the interfaces thing. I will try the rest when I come home. As stated in the bug, the authorization
problem happens every 2-3 days so whether it worked or not I might not be able to tell immediately.

Louigi.

Yes, I've seen the bug, thanks.  We were on holiday this last week in
the US so the response is going to be a bit slow.  I'll follow up in the
bug report, but note that one of the issues you noted is already fixed
in Alexander's PPAs, the one about DSL connections always failing.

The "Insufficient privilieges" issue is a PolicyKit problem that we need
to work through too and the one I'm most interested in.  Does doing what
this guy did help?

If so, that points further to PolicyKit configuration issues.
