[Bug 1431012] [NEW] network-manager, "edit connections" + "connect" + "disconnect" functions are disabled

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

Some important functions in network-manager are grayed out: 
* "edit connections" 
* "connect" 
* "disconnect" 

To resolve the problem: 
* When i start "nm-connection-editor" in terminal as normal user it's possible to edit all interfaces without any problems. 
* When i start "users-admin" in terminal as normal user, press button "advanced settings" and enter my password, then the functions "edit connections" + "connect" + "disconnect" are possible to operate and not grayed any more untile a reboot! 

I already set my user to user-group "netdev", but nothing happened. 
I tryed to "dpkg-reconfigure network-manager" and "/etc/init.d/network-manager restart", but nothing happened.
