After upgrading to 16.04 desktop (unity) (clean install) from 14.04, (so not really upgrading, but you get the point) I noticed that lightdm with unity-greeter (all stock, nothing changed) can't connect to WiFi with network-manager.

WiFi works after loggin it, but it should be working before also, if not, what's the point in having an icon there :)

I get the following message: Failed to add/activate connection. - (1) Insufficient privileges. - see image.
This worked fine in 14.04.

I have noticed this problem in both my desktop (Broadcom WiFi) and Laptop (Intel WiFi) - So it has nothing to be with the chip.

Feel free to ask for more info.
