I Updated from xubuntu 9.04 to xubuntu 9.10 the final version not beta version. See attached screenshot (this screenshot I got it from this site, this person has the same iusse : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/448002 PS: I tried liveCD , I did not get this error message, I mean "Error initializing Editor: insufficient privileges", but I could not connect to internet too. i am sure everything is OK with my DSL."my username and my password" I have now xubuntu 9.04 and my DSL is work good. thank you
Is this DSL connection a system connection? Is it defined by a file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections? You should only get asked for the root password if you try to edit a system connection, whcih requires administrator privileges. Can you also attach your /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.system.policy file? Thanks!
I have the same problem. In this folder I have no such file.
