Package: network-manager-gnome Version: 0.9.8.4-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I marked this bug important is it is the most frustrating but by far on debian. I had it in wheezy and upgraded to jessie in the hope it would be fixed but it is present here too. In a lot of universities use something called resnet to connect devices to the internet, through quite complex security. It is known to be a bit problematic and unreliable in general but my experience has been worse than most. On the initial sign up you have to go onto 'wifi-setup' as one of the wifi options offered, download a key, log in etc, and then select the network 'eduroam' to use after that. It was ok setting up, but after that, every time I switch on it has gone back to 'wifi-setup' and I have to put it back to 'eduroam' and am prompted for a password (which it has luckily started to remember). Even more annoying, when I am using the computer it sometimes disconnects, and to reconnect I have to change to another network and back again, which sometimes doesn't work properly and I have to do it again. Whilst some of it is an issue with eduroam, I know people using linux have found this an issue more so that other operating systems, which tend to just occasionally go down, and reconnect as soon as the network is available again. I wonder if it has anything related to the bug https://help.riseup.net/en/openvpn- linux#vpnautoconnect about auto-connecting. This seriously impairs my ability to use the internet reliably. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.12-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages network-manager-gnome depends on: ii dbus-x11 1.6.18-2 ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.18.0-1 ii gconf-service 3.2.6-1 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.10.0-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.10.0-2 ii libc6 2.17-97 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.12.16-2 ii libcairo2 1.12.16-2 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.18-2 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100.2-1 ii libgconf-2-4 3.2.6-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.28.2-1+b1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.36.4-1 ii libgnome-bluetooth11 3.8.1-2 ii libgnome-keyring0 3.4.1-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.8.6-1 ii libnm-glib-vpn1 0.9.8.0-5 ii libnm-glib4 0.9.8.0-5 ii libnm-gtk0 0.9.8.4-1 ii libnm-util2 0.9.8.0-5 ii libnotify4 0.7.6-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.0-1+b1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.0-1+b1 ii libsecret-1-0 0.15-2 ii network-manager 0.9.8.0-5 ii policykit-1-gnome 0.105-2 Versions of packages network-manager-gnome recommends: ii gnome-bluetooth 3.8.1-2 ii gnome-keyring 3.8.2-2 ii iso-codes 3.50-1 ii mobile-broadband-provider-info 20130915-1 ii notification-daemon 0.7.6-1 Versions of packages network-manager-gnome suggests: pn network-manager-openconnect-gnome <none> pn network-manager-openvpn-gnome <none> pn network-manager-pptp-gnome <none> pn network-manager-vpnc-gnome <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
