Hello! You are right. I have executed nmcli from xrdp/vnc session. Locally it works. But the bug is, that if executed remotely neither an error/warning message is written nor is the error-code set nor prompt for password is emitted. It is also interesting, that
sudo nmcli nm wifi off works from remote session, but echo '#!/bin/sh' >wifi_off echo 'nmcli nm wifi off' >>wifi_off sudo chown root.root wifi_off sudo chmod +s wifi_off ./wifi_off does not. I am the administrator, it is my notebook.
