polcykit-gnome's actions don't work with button proxies

[Emilio]

Binary package hint: network-manager

If you edit a wireless network connection, tick "Available to all users" and then try to Apply, the "Apply" button does nothing. Unticking "Available to all users" and applying works.

By the way, when you tick the option, the icon that is inside the button changes to a little key.

Confirmed on Jaunty.

Ticked "Available to all users", pressed Apply (icon changed as described), clicked Cancel. Re-opened the dialogue and previously ticked option wasn't then enabled.

Believe this could be a bug in the Gnome applet dialogue rather than the underlying network-manager package.

Hi,

This is actually an issue with policykit-gnome

Thanks,

James

Hi,

Here's the fix for this issue. I set "High" importance as it breaks other applications.

Thanks,

James

This bug was fixed in the package policykit-gnome - 0.9-1ubuntu2

---------------
policykit-gnome (0.9-1ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Pull patch from Fedora CVS to make actions work again. When blocking
    "clicked" because the user is not authenticated it should emit
    "auth-start" so that the user is invited to authenticate. (LP: #332343)

This bug - or something very similar to it appears to be back. I verified I have policykit-gnome - 0.9-1ubuntu3
so it may have regressed back in. Basically If you edit a wireless network connection, tick "Available to all users", the Apply button is immediately disabled.

I suspect this is due to a policykit configuration, rather than
a regression of this fix, assuming by "disabled" you mean
"greyed out".

Can you tell us what the polkit settings for this action are?

To find these go to System->Administration->Authorizations.
Then in the tree on the left navigate to org->freedesktop->
network-manager-settings->system->Modify System Connections.

If you could tell us what you have for the 3 items under
"Implicit Authorisations" and whether there is anything
in the "Explicit Authorisations" box.

Thanks,

James
