A workaround based on keith (alclsdkrak1) workaround in #1168293 : Enter network details as normal using the network manager but select a random certificate so the dialog is not displayed.
The connection will fail due to the fake certificate Disable WiFi cd /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections sudo nano SSID #this is the name of the SSID ie eduroam Remove the lines : ca-cert=/path/to/random/certificate/randomcert.pem system-ca-certs=true save the file enable WiFi connect successfully Hope this helps someone -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1130326 Title: No Certificate Authority Certificate Dialog doesn't receive focus Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Using Gnome 3.Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS network-manager 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.2 - I'm adding a new wireless network that uses certificates; "tunneled tls" - I do not select a CA certificate in the initial dialog "Authentication required by wireless network" - I get a warning popup "No certificate authority certificate chosen" with "ignore" and "select" (or similar) - But this popup is not in focus, the buttons can't be clicked and the dialog can't be dismissed. - I can't proceed except by clicking "cancel" in the partially-obscured "Authentication" dialog. The result of this is that I can't use a self-signed certificate, and so can't use the network. When I do go to select a certificate, it filters by file extension. The filter can't be disabled, so I don't see and can't select my certificates. Note that when exporting certs e.g. from Thunderbird, the extension is not added automatically, so it's likely that certs won't have an appropriate extension. Then in continuing interaction, gnome-settings manager segfaults. I've used the autoreport function to file that separately. peace, isaac To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1130326/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
