Operating Systems Linux Ubuntu Trouble Connecting to Wi-Fi Via GUI Post 303039441 by AntumDeluge on Saturday 5th of October 2019 01:23:29 AM

No. Network Manager GUI does not run as root, & is usually not required to connect to a wifi network. I don't know why the iw command requires root.


Not sure if it matters, but my user is in group "netdev". I'm assuming that is the "network device" group.


Edit: I don't know what command the Network Manager GUI is trying to execute in the background.
