Hi all, This is still a problem in Eoan Ermine 19.10.
And I really don't understand why this has so low priority. I have been able to trace this problem back to 2012!!!?! And it is really blocking ordinary users from working with a Ubuntu laptop. My usecase: I just installed Ubuntu 19.10 on a new laptop for my wife. I am the administrator, my wife is a normal user. She is a writer, and likes to take the laptop to coffee shops, libraries etc. But she can not connect to wifi in these places without my adminstrator password!!!?! And worst of all, I haven't even be able to find a suitable workaround.:-( On the previous laptop I had to tell her the password over the phone every time she joined a new hotspot. in 2019, I would really like to make a fresh start on this new laptop and give her a proper linux-user experience. Security issues can not be the reason. I can even connect to any public wifi on my company laptop with Windows 10. Even our company IT security permits that! Surely Ubuntu should be able to allow this on a private laptop. Is this the reason Linux is only on 1% of the PCs? If only tech-savy people can do the ordinary operations on a laptop with an admin password. I hope this can get solved quickly.
