Confirmed.
I have not seen this on Ubuntu, but it is happening on a very minimal
Xubuntu that I have.
When I click on the Unlock button in Network Manager, I get the same
dialog reported above.
Could not authenticate
An unexpected error has occurred.
When running network-admin from the command line, the following error is
reported:
** (network-admin:22011): CRITICAL: **: The name org.gnome.PolicyKit was not
provided by any
.service files.
Seems that it needs the file:
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.PolicyKit.service
Is provided by:
policykit-gnome
Which is missing from this system. Installing it solves the problem.
Looks like a dependency bug.
It seems that the binary:
/usr/bin/network-admin
Is owned by:
gnome-system-tools
I will be submitting a debdiff shortly that adds policykit-gnome to the
Requires for gnome-system-tools
Other administrative dialogs work fine, such as Hardware Drivers.
** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
