** Description changed: Binary package hint: policykit After installing all updates to Hardy alpha6 due to 19mar2008 I saw the following - after rebooting the 0.6.6 Network manager is working pretty well but after trying to configure it through "Manual configure..." a window appeared saying "You haven't enough rights to admin..." (translated from russian). After that I remembered Policykit was installed along the other updates...so I tracked that files and after some googling found the issue - it is in the Poliykit.conf file in /etc/Policykit/ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- XML -*- --> <!DOCTYPE pkconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/PolicyKit/1.0/config.dtd";> <!-- See the manual page PolicyKit.conf(5) for file format --> <config version="0.1"> <match user="root"> <return result="yes"/> </match> <define_admin_auth group="admin"/> </config> - This is looking very safe BUT I can even add my account to a group () - + This is looking very safe BUT I can't even add my account to a group - it's also forbidden to me! So, I added myself: ..... <config version="0.1"> <match user="root|user"> <return result="yes"/> </match> <define_admin_auth group="admin"/> </config> ..... PS. May be this is to be done as default config (adding current user) 'cause without that there are neither UNLOCK buttons nor basic (gksudo) access to administration
