How can I get online on a Ubuntu PC without the administrator password? I have ordinary user privileges, and the wifi itself is not password protected.
答案1
If the wireless is working; that is, a driver is installed, then you should be able to click the Network Manager icon, see your network and connect. If the wireless is not working because it needs to have a driver installed, then you cannot proceed without administrator privileges. The administrator password is required to modify the system and install software, including drivers.

I found success with the following solution in Ubuntu 13.04:
Open /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy with root/sudo privileges and search for the following line:
<message>System policy prevents modification of network settings for all users</message>
A few lines below that should be this:
<allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active>
Change it to:
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>
Save the file and restart your computer.
