Public bug reported:
Hi.
I upgraded my XUbuntu from 13.10 to 14.04 this summer, and since then
Network-Manager (NM in the following) seems unable to pop-up a dialog to ask
for a password. As a consequence:
- I cannot modify my connections, some (mostly WPA enterprise) are shown with
greyed (cannot be changed?) and missing data;
- I cannot connect to wifi as connection password is not asked.
It is clearly a configuration problem: everything works well with a
live USB. Everything was also fine on 13.10. I already reinstalled NM
and gnome-keyring, without any success. And I'd prefer not to reinstall
all, as I have a HUGE number of modifications to do (addition and
suppression of packages). Is there a simple way to script that?
I have a turnaround:
- nm-connection-editor works well only if I start it with a sudo (otherwise, I
have the behaviour described above);
- once the connection password is added in nm-connection-editor (I usually ask
it to be entered for each connection), I can use a "sudo nmcli con up id '...'"
to connect, but the password is not saved (for next boot).
I moreover discovered that nm-applet needs now to be also started with a
sudo to get the icon in the notification tray.
Does anyone have an idea of the origin of the problem ? (No answer for 2
weeks on forum.ubuntu-fr.org.)
