Title:
Wireless password request pops up before user login.
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have stored the username/password for the wireless network I use,
and also have my home folder encrypted, so nothing stored in it is
available before I login.
If a wireless connection is marked as available to the whole system
(this checkbox seems marked per dafault), it will try to connect
before I login, but it seems that the password is stored on my home
folder, so it will fail to retrieve the password (because it is
encrypted, I think) and a window will popup asking for the
authentication. This is an annoyance, because I want to login before
doing anything that uses the network, and the wireless auth box will
steal the keyboard focus from the login password box. Then I have to
click to close the window before I login.
I don't really want to make that wireless network available for system
wide, because the credentials are personal, so I unmarked the relevant
checkbox when I found about it. It solved the problem for me,
nonetheless it is still a bug, because if a wireless network has a
stored password and is available system wide, it should not annoy a
user asking for password before it logins, wheter or not any home
directory is encrypted.
