It seems the new related bug has been marked a duplicate of this one. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager- applet/+bug/1077982).
The thing is this bug is so often misunderstood I was happy to see the new bug report which was a lot more concrete. Can we at least get this one back to confirmed instead of opinion. The "opinion"-status is just ridiculous. There's also this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /network-manager-applet/+bug/1102354 I like the title of that one. No opinion there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/964705 Title: System policy prevents modification of network settings for all users Status in NetworkManager: Confirmed Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Status in “network-manager” package in Debian: Fix Released Status in “network-manager” package in openSUSE: Fix Released Bug description: This seems like a regression?
