Public bug reported: My wi-fi password contains the string "\n" amongst a number of other random characters. Recently I have noticed that the wi-fi will no longer connect, and when I click "show password" there is a non-printable character where there should be the characters "\n".
The first time I enter my password it connects fine, but the second time it has the broken password. This has only started happening since upgrading to 10.04.1. Steps to reproduce: # Change your wi-fi password to include the characters "\n" # Connect to your wi-fi with the new password, saving it in the keyring. # Log off/restart your computer. # Connect to the wi-fi again. Desired outcome: wi-fi connects. Actual outcome: wi-fi does not connect. Inspection will reveal that the "\n" in the password now appears as a new line character. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Password Manager Interprets Escape Characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628373 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
