What desktop environment do you use? Did you play with policykit actions? Please, grab output of these commands: $ dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.GetPermissions $ ck-list-sessions $ pkaction --action-id org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system --verbose $ pkaction --action-id org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own --verbose (In reply to comment #1) > What desktop environment do you use? Did you play with policykit actions? I use gnome. Nope, I've not messed with any policykit.. Would it make a difference that I did an in-place upgrade from F16 to F17? > > Please, grab output of these commands: > $ dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager > /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.GetPermissions [root@e6510 anthony]# dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /ort/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.GetPermissions Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "GetPermissions" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager" doesn't exist [root@e6510 anthony]# [root@e6510 anthony]# dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.GetPermissions method return sender=:1.1 -> dest=:1.71 reply_serial=2 array [ dict entry( string "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control" string "yes" ) dict entry( string "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wwan" string "yes" ) dict entry( string "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own" string "yes" ) dict entry( string "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.protected" string "yes" ) dict entry( string "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.open" string "yes" ) dict entry( string "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-network" string "yes" ) dict entry( string "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wimax" string "yes" ) dict entry( string "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sleep-wake" string "yes" ) dict entry( string "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wifi" string "yes" ) dict entry( string "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system" string "yes" ) dict entry( string "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.hostname" string "yes" ) ] > $ ck-list-sessions [root@e6510 anthony]# ck-list-sessions Session1: unix-user = '1000' realname = 'anthony' seat = 'Seat2' session-type = '' active = FALSE x11-display = ':0' x11-display-device = '' display-device = '' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2012-04-10T23:18:53.539205Z' login-session-id = '2' > $ pkaction --action-id org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system > --verbose [root@e6510 anthony]# pkaction --action-id org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system --verbose org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system: description: Modify network connections for all users message: System policy prevents modification of network settings for all users vendor: NetworkManager vendor_url: http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager icon: nm-icon implicit any: no implicit inactive: no implicit active: yes > $ pkaction --action-id org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own > --verbose [root@e6510 anthony]# pkaction --action-id org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own --verbose org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own: description: Modify personal network connections message: System policy prevents modification of personal network settings vendor: NetworkManager vendor_url: http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager icon: nm-icon implicit any: no implicit inactive: no implicit active: yes I didn't emphasize that we need the commands run as a normal user.

It can be due to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ckremoval I'd say update of systemd and NetworkManager would help. This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
