Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
Setting up manual network configuration using network-manager can only be done once - the second time I try to use network-admin to change the configuration (for example - to return an interface to "roaming mode"), I get an error: "The configuration could not be saved You are not allowed to modify the system configuration."
To reproduce:
1. start Ubuntu
2. log in as a user with administrator capabilities
3. start network-admin by clicking the network manager icon and choosing "manual configuration".
4. use "unlock" button on the network-admin dialog, and type the user's password
5. change something, save and close.
6. start network-admin again and unlock it again
7. try to change something - an error appears.
This is with current Hardy alpha (updated 22.8.2008).
The only way that I could find to get network-admin to work again is to reboot the computer.
Thanks for your report, this is working fine for me now, may you test again? thanks.
