WirelessGoPro asks for sudo password even if launched as sudo

[grighi96]

Hello, I'm implementing a Python script on a Raspberry Pi 3 to control a gopro via wifi.
I tried the gopro-wifi demo both as sudo and standard user and in both case it works. But in the standard user case it asks for sudo password and it accepts even a wrong password.
Then I created my personal Python script and if I launch it as sudo it keeps asking for the sudo password and I get the "Invalid password" error even if the password is correct.
Am I doing something wrong?

UPDATE: I looked at the log files and in the gopro-wifi demo I can see that when executed as sudo it gets:
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wifi yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.scan yes
so it doesn't ask for a sudo password.

When executed as standard user it gets:
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wifi no
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.scan auth
and it asks for a password and even if I input a wrong password it works.
On my script I get no and auth both with and without sudo and it doesn't accepts any password.

SOLVED: I had to change the NetworkManager policy to allow scan and enable-disable-wifi

Glad you got it working.
FWIW the way that this is designed to work in demos is that you use the --password argument to read your password from stdin.

Anyway I don't see any changes here so will close this.
