Even whilst I'm connected to a wired lan, network manager randomly pops open a request to enter the password for a number of these network connections. These requests seem to happen at random intervals during the day. As I'm using gnome 3 this actually gets worse. When it asks for a wireless password I first get a gnome themed password prompt (which I cancel) and then i get the standard non-themed password prompt. To make things even worse, if I attempt to go in and attempt to edit the wireless settings, the 'Configure...' button is disabled unless I'm already connected to a network. (ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!). Love, Brett lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 sudo apt-cache policy network-manager [sudo] password for bsutton: network-manager: Installed: 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu5.1 Candidate: 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu5.1 Version table: *** 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu5.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: network-manager-gnome 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-18.31-generic 3.0.26 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-18-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Date: Thu Apr 5 09:18:57 2012 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/nm-applet IfupdownConfig: auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64+mac (20110427.1) IpRoute: default via 10.11.0.1 dev eth0 proto static 10.0.0.0/8 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.10.0.222 metric 1 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link metric 1000 Keyfiles: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory NetworkManager.state: [main] NetworkingEnabled=true WirelessEnabled=true WWANEnabled=false SourcePackage: network-manager-applet UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-12-19 (107 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/973845/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
