[Bug 912702] Re: the window "Wireless Network Authentication Required" keeps popping up until "the end of times" even though the previous one was not closed
In this particular cas eduroam isn't working. I'm not sure I've ever seen it work, but it really ought to. Can you please verify that you're using the right credentials and start NetworkManager in debug mode? Please follow the steps in http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingNetworkManager to attach more information to this bug report. As for the multiple window instances, that's covered in another bug. It's unfortunate, but not something that can be easily fixed. If the connection is stable and doesn't disconnect frequently due to bad signal levels or other reasons, then you won't be seeing multiple authentication requests -- this is only because there is no easy way to distinguish between the different reasons for a disconnection. ** Also affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/912702 Title: the window "Wireless Network Authentication Required" keeps popping up until "the end of times" even though the previous one was not closed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/912702/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The Only thing I did was plug in my wifi equipment...and Ubuntu ran a scan asking me did I want to use a coded password..I put in my password setting Ubuntu to a personal hotspot on my computer so no one would still my wifi usage..After doing a private security PW, I set wifi to come on automatically when I logged in..I had NO further issues On Jun 26, 2012 8:30 PM, "zsolt.ruszinyák" wrote: KALImar Franklin (kalimar999), please how did you make you wifi a personal hotspot, or something?

Yes, you're right.

It's been six months since this bug was reported, its importance remains undecided, and fixing it remains unassigned. This is a problem. Whenever my machine is disconnected from wi-fi for a few hours, it is faster to reboot than to close the dozens of nm-applet authentication windows trying to connect to alternative wi-fi networks.

I have similar problem. It looks like nm-applet lost access to the gnome-keyring and now every time is asking for wireless key, does't remember it, and seemengly spawns the dialog asking for the key indeffinately.. I didn't count the number of windows, but had to click close for quite a while before it went away. It could conect to the router just fine before, now suddenly (after holidays) started to ask for the key. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/912702 Title: the window "Wireless Network Authentication Required" keeps popping up until "the end of times" even though the previous one was not closed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/912702/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
