Howdy! Apologies for the slow response. I downloaded and installed the .deb files from #5 and found that it fixed the problem where I couldn't connect to the network.
Although the changed files fix the most important problem, filenames are still displayed URL-encoded in the applet window after a file with spaces is selected, as the attached screenshot shows. ** Attachment added: "wpa-spaces-urlencoded.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1807460/+attachment/5223324/+files/wpa-spaces-urlencoded.png -- 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/1807460 Title: Filenames with spaces not accepted when connecting to certificate- authenticated wifi Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in network-manager-applet source package in Bionic: Incomplete Bug description: This bug was encountered on a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS When connecting to a certificate-authenticated wifi network (WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, authentication TLS) for the first time, the "Wi-Fi Network Authentication Required" dialogue is displayed, prompting the user to select their CA and user certificates. Unexpected behaviour: If any of the files have spaces in their filenames, after choosing them in the file picker the field is highlighted by a red box, and the 'Connect' button is greyed out. This is depicted in the attachment network-authentication-red-box- spaces-filename.png There is also no explanation offered for why the red box highlight is present - no tooltip, no help from pressing F1, no popup, and as far as I can find no logs. If you move/rename the file, so there are no spaces in the filename, the problem is worked around. The problem is not present on the edit connection dialogue; filenames with spaces are acceptable there. The problem was also not present on Ubuntu 16.04, and users who upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 will find their connection keeps working. It is only when creating an entirely new connection (or after forgetting the connection and recreating it) that the problem dialog appears.
