Sorry, I must have been confused about 10.04, however the problem still remains, that either from cron, or a remote session such as ssh or telnet, the command returns (and only this - unless there is someway to increase verbosity): $ nmcli -p con up id hideipvpn Error: Connection activation failed: Not authorized to control networking.
The connection is NOT marked a "available to all users". However in a terminal window on the desktop itself, the command works. When run locally in a desktop terminal : $ nmcli -p con up id VPN Active connection state: activating Active connection path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/44 state: VPN connecting (3) state: VPN connecting (getting IP configuration) (4) Connection activated -- nmcli reports :Not authorized to control networking. when run from cron https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/681708 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
