'nmcli radio wifi' flooding syslog I have a script that runs mult iple times a minute and which checks for wifi connectivity. It does the check by running, as a normal user, this: 'nmcli radio wifi'. The command seems to work but my syslog fills up with this sort of thing: <warn> [1533789057.9698] error requesting auth for org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-network: Authorization check failed: Failed to open file “/proc/24332/status”: No such file or directory <warn> [1533789057.9701] error requesting auth for org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sleep-wake: Authorization check failed: Failed to open file “/proc/24332/status”: No such file or directory <warn> [1533789057.9705] error requesting auth for org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wifi: Authorization check failed: Failed to open file “/proc/24332/status”: No such file or directory <warn> [1533789057.9708] error requesting auth for org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wwan: Authorization check failed: Failed to open file “/proc/24332/status”: No such file or directory I have a vpn but I get the above messages even when the VPN is off. Perhaps the following is relevant too. $ nmcli general permissions PERMISSION VALUE org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-network yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wifi yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wwan yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wimax yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sleep-wake no org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.protected yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.share.open yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.hostname auth org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.global-dns auth org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.reload auth org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.checkpoint-rollback auth org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-statistics yes org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-connectivity-check yes Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon Kernel: 4.17.13-041713-generic mate-polkit 1.20.0-1 (if this is the relevant package)
I have the same problem. I also have a script running, but mine calls `nmcli connection show`. Identical journal logs and identical output for `nmcli general permissions`. Fedora 28 x64 4.17.12-200 NetworkManager 1.10.10 polkit-0.115-1 polkit-gnome-0.106-0.2.20170423gita0763a2
