Thank you for your bug report. Do you try to connect to a wifi you
already used before? Is it an open one or does it require to enter
credentials?
The greeter doesn't allow creating new connections but should let you
activate existing ones. Here the system autoconnect to my usual wifi on
boot while on the greeter, also picking the same wifi again works
without error.
Trying to connect to new aps trigger the error dialog, that's not new
though and has always been like that in Ubuntu

Title:
Can't use networkmanager from lightdm
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
After upgrading to 16.04 desktop (unity) (clean install) from 14.04,
(so not really upgrading, but you get the point) I noticed that
lightdm with unity-greeter (all stock, nothing changed) can't connect
to WiFi with network-manager.
WiFi works after loggin it, but it should be working before also, if
not, what's the point in having an icon there :)
I get the following message: Failed to add/activate connection. - (1)
Insufficient privileges. - see image.
This worked fine in 14.04.
I have noticed this problem in both my desktop (Broadcom WiFi) and
Laptop (Intel WiFi) - So it has nothing to be with the chip.
Feel free to ask for more info.
