Hello,

I'm running Debian 11 with KDE and I can't switch to a different
network if I switch to a different user. The first noticeable problem
is that every single listed network appears with the "Disconnect"
button, as if all of them are simultaneously connected (which they're
obviously not). If I then try to switch to any network from the applet
I get this:

"Private connection already active on the device: uid 1000 has no
permission to perform this operation"

I even tried to restart the NetworkManager service, but it didn't help.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Luiz Romário Santana Rios

It might help to mark the connection(s) as usable by others.

In the Gnome applet for Network Manager this is done by checking a box 
named "All users may connect to this network", don't know how it's in 
KDE.

Hope this helps,
Andrei
