OK I must be really lucky. I find NetworkManager just works. It does ask for my admin password when it doesn't need it but I find that if I just ignore that prompt then everything is fine.
- yellowapple 11y agoOdd that it's asking for the admin password. The more common issue with passwords is that it incessantly prompts for the user's password or for the wireless network passphrase due to some strange inability to talk to whatever keyring daemon is in use (and thus an inability to retrieve network passwords). I usually work around that by disabling the keyring (either globally or simply preventing NetworkManager from using it).
- JupiterMoon 11y agoI've always used a separate non-sudo account for my general computing even on my personal machines and just use the sudo account as an admin account. EDIT Also it doesn't actually need the password seeing as I never type it in and my wifi works fine (with multiple networks every day).
