Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

It is impossible to change the wifi network settings, e.g. IP address or to make it available for other user. One week ago it was OK, but after creating another user I detected the wifi network settings were greyed out. I checked supervisor and managed = yes. It is possible caused by upgrade or maybe the second user?

Sounds like you are using network-manager, not indicator-network. Moving to network-manager-applet.

affects:

indicator-network (Ubuntu) → network-manager-applet (Ubuntu)

Same here. Interestingly this only affects the settings of wireless networks, not wired networks. Only way to change anything there is to remove and recreate them.
