I see that in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/964705
the "Cancel" workaround was used already. Sorry.
However I should add, that with my Ubuntu 16.04.1 I had also to add a new file
/lib/udev/rules.d/70-usb-modeswitch.rules
to get networking with my Aldi/Medion Mobile Huawei E173:
# own udev rules for Aldi/Medion Huawei E173
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1",
ATTRS{idProduct}=="1446", RUN+="/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1446 -M
'55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000'"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1",
ATTRS{idProduct}=="1436", RUN+="/bin/bash -c 'modprobe option && echo 12d1 1436
> /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id'"
(Modified from https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/USB_ModeSwitch/). Probably
nother 16.04 bug.

Title:
Ubuntu 16.04.1 System policy prevents modification of network settings
for all users
Status in modemmanager package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Same bug as described for Ubuntu 15.04 (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/964705)
is still in my Ubuntu 16.04.1! My workaround is simple but strange:
After switching on my notebook, booting into Ubuntu 16.04.1, and being
at the login screen, before having logged into any user, the SIM-PIN
menu appears. I key in the SIM-PIN, hit the <Unlock> button, then I am
asked again for the SIM-PIN, this time with the error message
"PolicyKit authorization failed: challenge needed for
org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Device.Control". My workaround:
Hit the <Cancel> button
After that, I am able to log in and connect with my Aldi/Medion Huawei
E173 USB stick to the network, if I am an AdminUser. For a user
without Admin-rights it is a little bit more complicated after having
logged in: he has to unlock the SIM pin again, then he is asked for
the Admin passwort because necessary administrative rights. He has to
hit <Cancel> twice, but then he can connect to the network without any
knowledge of the Admin-paswort. Strange!
Will Ubuntu 16.04 sometime come to the point of enabling mobile
networking as simple as it was with Ubuntu 14.04?
Thank you,
siggi2
