Bug Description

I'm getting an error when I attempt to edit a Mobile Broadband connection in Network Manager. I click on the Mobile Broadband tab of Network Connections, select the connection and click the Edit... button. I then get an error message appearing for "Error initialising editor. No agents were available for this request.". This leaves me unable to edit/configure any Mobile Broadband connection, and therefore unable to connect to the internet via my usb modem.

I don't get any errors when editing Wired or Wireless connections.

It also affects Wifi networks for me. I think it's because it is shared for the whole system, so it needs sudo powers. I think that's the cause of the problem.

This no longer seems to affect me as the error no longer shows when I edit the network connection.

Tomas Cassidy,
Can you check if it still affects you? It could possibly me fixed for you as well.
