Description Schoelje 2012-10-01 17:57:07 UTC
- In a live environment (32-bits), I cannot add a wireless connection. This
results in a "Insufficient privileges" message.
- Live user has root permissions.
- Distribution based on Debian Testing.
- No wpa_supplicant logs are created.
- I cannot confirm this happening on a 64-bit system.
- Once installed I have no problem making new wireless connections.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download and run from USB: http://www.schoelje.nl/lmdekde/lmdekde32_up5_20120929.iso
2. Open Network Management Settings
3. Add a wireless connection
Actual Results:  
Error message: 
error adding connections: Insufficient privileges

Expected Results:  
Even in a live environment I expect to be able to create a wireless connection.

Comment 3 Schoelje 2012-10-05 11:53:42 UTC
For the past week I've been upgrading the 32-bit version in groups of packages. This way I narrowed this issue down to one single package: xinit

xinit upgraded from 1.3.1-1 to 1.3.2-1.
So I held back that package, did a dist-upgrade and booted the iso with the following results:
1. The shut down and restart buttons are back in the Kickoff menu.
2. I can make a wireless connection.
3. I can mount USB
Comment 4 Lamarque V. Souza 2012-10-05 17:11:25 UTC
This look like a problem with your /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf or you do not have ConsoleKit installed and running. Anway, this is downstream issue, you should contact Debian developers about this.
Comment 5 Schoelje 2012-10-05 17:15:58 UTC
Today, I've contacted the Debian xinit maintainer about this.
