I moved from 9.10 to 10.04 LTS. I had difficulty connecting to my hidden wifi network at home. I temporarily configured the wifi as visible and was able to connect.
The problem however did not go away on moving back to hidden wi-fi. I removed network-manager and installed wicd and removed nm-applet from the system tray. WiCD did not work either. So I removed it and installed network-manager but found that nm-applet does not run in the system tray. Going through the various threads I found Alt+F2 would help me run /usr/bin/nm-applet. When I run nm-applet like this after the system is booted up and I am logged in I find that I am prompted for the WPA2-PSK key and I can connect without any problem. Not sure what in all the above steps fixed the issue, but I now manually launch nm-applet. I would say that launching nm-applet before the system is all booted up is one of the symptoms of the problem. It seems to work if we launch nm-applet after the system is booted up. If someone can point me to how to enable debug messages for nm-applet and the source code I could help in debugging the problem. -- Connect to Hidden...select Saved Secure Connection; Connect not possible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446394 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
