I've had this problem also with Intrepid on an Acer Aspire One netbook. It would not reconnect even after retyping the password.

Sorry.. let me check if I follow you, I should open a new bug, rather than re-opening this one, although the symptoms of my bug appear to be more-or-less identical to this bug? Again, I don't understand how the hex alternate form can make sense. If my password were, say "deadbeef" how would network manager determine if what I'd just entered was an 8-letter string password, or a 4-byte hex shared key? How is the hex key derived from the string password (i.e. how can I check if the hex string is the correct alternate form of the password string?). -- [intrepid] network manager repeatedly asks for key, cannot connect to secured networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/265127 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 265127] Re: [intrepid] network manager repeatedly asks for key, cannot connect to secured networks
Likewise, I have this problem with current Intrepid - one of two horrible regressions I've found from hardy, and I've only been using it 3 days. I can't see how replacing the entered password with hex can be sane behaviour, even if it's expected. Apart from the poor usability of this behaviour, how does the entry dialog tell the difference between a hex secret and a password that just happens to only contain [0-9a-f]? Plus, I cannot see how the hex key is being derived from the password: it's certainly not just a hex dump of the ASCII. -- [intrepid] network manager repeatedly asks for key, cannot connect to secured networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/265127 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Switching to a different router solved the problem with being unable to connect for me. It's odd because it was only intrepid which couldn't connect. Hardy and other devices could connect to that router without a problem. The other issue, with not remembering keys is documented in other bug reports, and besides I have got around it by setting my connection as a system setting.

[Bug 265127] Re: [intrepid] network manager repeatedly asks for key, cannot connect to secured networks
Just noticed something interesting when doing some tests. My FON router lets out two wifi signals: 1) Public, open and insecure which people can pay to use, 2) Personal, usually secure as it is for my use. 1) FON public/open: I can connect to this in Intrepid without a problem. 2) FON personal: If set to WEP, WPA or WPA2 I can't connect. But here's the interesting bit - even if I set it to open/insecure I STILL can't connect to it. All my other devices (mobile phone, Wii etc) can connect without a problem however. So, long story short, the issue (for me) isn't to do with whether the connection is open or secure. -- [intrepid] network manager repeatedly asks for key, cannot connect to secured networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/265127 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm experiencing this bug as well, and have some information about it. When I try to connect to this particular wireless router (called 'default'), it fails and I get the password box. If I check "Show Password", I get a whole bunch hex crap instead of my actual password. But I if keep on clicking Connect in the password box without changing the password, it will eventually succeed. This problem has only happened using my router; there's another router that I use that never fails to connect. (I think they use different encryption methods; I'm not near the other router right now, but if you need information about it, let me know.) I've attached the syslog showing me connecting to my router and pushing the Connect button over and over again until it works. I think it took 5 tries until it worked. This starts on line 2570 of the log.

[Bug 265127] Re: [intrepid] network manager repeatedly asks for key, cannot connect to secured networks
This issue just gets stranger and stranger (and this bug report more convoluted! Thanks for helping and bearing with me). What is happening now is that when I login I get immediately prompted for my wifi password. If I type it in really quick while the rest of gnome is still loading it usually connects successfully (that's new). If I type it in a little later it almost always fails. If I try and connect manually later it fails (as usual). Also, keys are still not showing in seahorse. Response to the numbered requests in your previous post: 1. See nm-applet attachment for the output when starting nm-applet from the console (I did this in my partners session because nm-applet wasn't auto-starting there for some reason, I HAVE to start it manually from the console a lot of the time. See point 3 below for more about this). 2. See attachment ldd usrbinnm-applet for output of ldd /usr/bin/nm- applet 3. I've found that the issue with the nm-applet not showing seems to only happen to the second user to login. e.g. My partner logs in, the applet is shown, he finishes working and logs out. Then I log in, the applet is not shown. Same happens vica versa. Sometime it seems to still be running because it is in the list of processes and connects, other times I have to start it myself from the console. 4. I only have 'lo' lines in /etc/network/interfaces so i've left that as it is. 5.

Sorry there were a lot of mistakes in that which will make it unclear. Try again... 2 things: 1) Connecting to my FON insecure signal does work (so it might be that). 2) I've noticed that a few times it has connected successfully (to my FON secure signal).

Other devices have no problem connecting to it. If you take a look at the partial syslog I attached initially you'll see what usually happens. One other thing, since the most recent nm update a few days ago things have changed slightly: 1) Now the nm icon often (but not always) doesn't appear in the status bar (but it still connects to the insecure signal). 2) Now when I goto 'edit connections' or am prompted to enter my wifi password the box is now empty, rather than filled with the long key I posted above. 3) Also keys are no longer saved in seahorse at all (i.e. if I choose not to save as a system setting. Perhaps this is the reason for the point immediately above?) 4) Finally, if I do choose to save as a system setting, and I navigate to etc/NetworkManager/system-settings, I can find a file in there which has successfully saved the connection. But when I open the file I find (on the key/password line) the dreaded "5eea414a9785dd... etc." instead of my actual password. -- [intrepid] network manager repeatedly asks for key, cannot connect to secured networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/265127 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 265127] Re: [intrepid] network manager repeatedly asks for key, cannot connect to secured networks
3 things: 1) Connecting to my FON insecure signal does work (so it might be that). 2) I've noticed that a few times it has connected successfully. I forgot to mention that in the original report because it is so rare, sorry. However, by far the majority of times it does not connect and I get the symptoms described. If you take a look at the partial syslog I attached initially you'll see what usually happens.

Afraid I can't really tell you why *everyone* cuts the syslog, being only one offender. I did it because I thought I knew which bits were relevant, but the more I think about it I suppose I don't know ubuntu well enough to judge that.

[Bug 265127] Re: [intrepid] network manager repeatedly asks for key, cannot connect to secured networks
** Attachment added: "syslog" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17313349/syslog ** Description changed: Binary package hint: network-manager In Intrepid when I attempt to connect to my WPA2-personal secured network, nm asks for key, but after a few seconds of trying to connect asks for it again. This happens repeatedly and it never connects. If I remover the security from the connection nm can connect without a problem. I've noticed that if I go into 'edit connections' and click to show the current passphrase instead of my password I get a string of letters and numbers like this: 5eea414a9785dd7e60596ed7c6916737a4ebe7b3d7fafd678bd8c7c1638fd908 When I get prompted to enter the key when trying to connect, if I click show password I get the same string of letters and numbers. If I change this string to the correct password it appears to save (no error) but then just asks me for the key again (again with the string above filled in). I thought it might be the case the nm was trying to use a previous key to connect, so I went into 'Passwords and encryption keys' to delete any - old keys, but unfortunately that app crashes as soon as i click delete - (i'll check whether thats an existing bug and report if not). + old keys, but unfortunately that app crashes as soon as i click delete. + Which I believe is LP#265040. Deleting the connection in nm 'edit connections' dialog successfully removes the connection, but as soon as I recreate the connection the problem just reoccurs. Finally, choosing to save the connection as 'System setting' is unsuccessful, though I think this might be LP#255839. -- [intrepid] network manager repeatedly asks for key, cannot connect to secured networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/265127 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
