From 2452042c66764ee4da25b971fef6cee2e6a07e6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean-Philippe Ouellet Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2018 17:49:41 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Note that minimal fedora NetVM needs polkit Otherwise nm-applet is not able to control NetworkManager over dbus, and you get the following error messages: ``` (nm-applet:19808): nm-applet-WARNING **: 17:24:56.716: disconnect_cb: Device disconnect failed: (1) org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control request failed: not authorized ``` This is unfortunate, but I don't see a better way around it.
