Selene, I think you may be seeing at least three separate issues, each worthy of its own bug.
First, when you enter authentication details in the dialog, the dialog should stay up to show progress, to offer you a "Cancel" button, and to let you reauthenticate if the details were incorrect. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#wi-fi-authenticating> That it doesn't do this results in the dialog going away then coming back again for reauthentication. Second, networks in the network menu are shown using things that look and behave like clearable checkboxes, bug 1322497. Third, when you cancel connection to a network it still shows up as selected in the menu. And possibly fourth, NetworkManager currently continuously tries to connect to known networks whenever Wi-Fi is on. So it might be continuously trying to rejoin a network even though you have previously cancelled connection to it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity API bugs, which is subscribed to Network Menu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1276218 Title: Cancelling a WiFi password dialog turns WiFi off and leaves the network checked in the list Status in Network Menu: In Progress Status in “indicator-network” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Steps to reproduce: * pull down the network indicator * select a protected network * cancel the password entry Expected: * checkbox next to the cancelled network goes away * device reconnects to any known network (if auto-connect is on) * WiFi checkbox stays on Current: * checkbox for the cancelled network remains * WiFi checkbox gets into "disabled" state ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: indicator-network 0.5.1+14.04.20131125-0ubuntu1 Uname: Linux 3.4.0-3-mako armv7l ApportVersion: 2.13.2-0ubuntu2 Architecture: armhf Date: Tue Feb 4 17:03:21 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-02-04 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch) - armhf (20140204) SourcePackage: indicator-network UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-network/+bug/1276218/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-api-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-api-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
