[Bug 871728] Re: network manager forgets wifi password on suspend/restart
Just updated 11.10 on my 32-bit Netbook, and it, too, is forgetting 'network secrets' on each WiFi network! Seems like the amd64 problem has propagated to the 32 bit world Also, there is no 'Available to all users' option AT ALL at this point. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871728 Title: network manager forgets wifi password on suspend/restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/871728/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 871728] Re: network manager forgets wifi password on suspend/restart
Since gnome3, NetworkManager no longer uses GConf but writes on /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ The 'available to all users' workaround has the main problem that then for the imported accounts this will save passwords to etc in plaintext and no longer in the encrypted gnome-keyring. If your network password is part of another account (eg LDAP) this can be a problem. So the solution would be to remember the password in the keyring as it was before instead of forgetting it (there is the option psk-flags=1 in system-connections which apparently could be used for that) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871728 Title: network manager forgets wifi password on suspend/restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/871728/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Indeed the 'available to all users' work around fixed it for me too. ddean-ieee thanks for doing the hard work of posting the bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871728 Title: network manager forgets wifi password on suspend/restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/871728/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ok, this seems to be somewhat related to bug #854833, but the Available to all users checkbox which is suggested as a workaround in that bug was grayed out for me. However, if I deleted the wireless network that was causing the problem and then reconnect to it, the newly created wireless network does have the Available to all users checkbox available (and ticked) and it now does remember my wireless password between suspends and restarts. I guess this was caused by a migration issue when a package was updated recently, but I'm not sure exactly when it first occurred. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871728 Title: network manager forgets wifi password on suspend/restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/871728/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
