Public bug reported:
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
