This is not a limit of Ubuntu. It's a limit of the IEEE standard on WPA2. See

Good news. I found the problem. It's entirely related to passphrase
length.

Maybe it's because you're using Lubuntu in a time machine? XD
Are you sure you have notifications on? There is an icon for it in
the system tray. Unless you removed it or silenced it.

@Chris, can you be more specific about what you did to get the failure
balloon? Did you left click nm-tray, click the non-hidden SSID, type a
bad password?
This bug report is a little confusing because that's what I reported.
But, there's a lot of examples about it working differently if accessed
@Chris, I did add the log info in #11 (one before yours).
I do see a "connection established" balloon when I use the correct
passphrase. But, I don't see a failure balloon when I use the wrong
passphrase.
I have to believe it's something screwy with my iso, how it was burned.
Something that isn't
I just booted Lubuntu 20200303 (same LiveUSB I've been testing
throughout all this). I started journalctl. I then clicked nm-tray,
clicked the access point, and this is what appeared:

I changed a wifi network to be not-hidden, booted sl510 again using
current daily, and get balloons telling me 'lost.connection', or if
deleted & enter the correct password 'connection.established', ie.
exactly what Walter describes (where balloon=notification).

I can add a new connection manually with the wrong password and it
fails. The icon in the system tray changes to grey with three white
horizontally-arranged dots and then returns to the grey rectangle with a
white x in the lower right hand corner. A notification displays that the
connection is lost
I left click on nm-tray, choose my wifi access point, enter an incorrect
passphrase.
Maybe the difference is that you're using a hidden ssid, and have to go
to network connections to get the job done? I'm doing the more normal(?)
choice of available access points from nm-tray. I only right-click t

@Chris, I'm not having the same experience as you. I enter an invalid
passphrase, nothing happens. No connection-lost msg. And, it saves the
failed connection. The only msg I see is when I fix the password and it
connects successfully.
It doesn't appear to be machine dependent (although, both the

@Dan, I just tried the same 20200303 Lubuntu image on a Ryzen 5 machine.
It had the same behavior as reported on the old Toshiba. I click on nm-

Nothing happens. No message that the connection was attempted/failed.

I tested this on a new daily install using the 20200303 install media. I
