For me, "nm-applet" crashes instead of asking (the good) password when connecting to a wireless network : - if I enter and store a wrong password in the gnome keyring (only for this user option), - or if a wrong password is already stored in the gnome keyring.
The workaround is to change the password in the properties of the connection (via nm-applet) or in the gnome keyring (via seahorse). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1618424 Title: The internet applet crashes randomly.
