2. Wireless connection. It took me several attempts, including a reboot, before I spotted
the problem. I was typing my friend's wireless key as he read it to me and the system
kept ignoring me - no connection, no error message. Finally I noticed that the connection
manager was giving up and going into "offline" mode before I finished typing.
Whose bright idea was that? I had to use copy and paste in order to enter the key
sufficiently quickly.
I noticed this problem with 16.04, in various Ubuntu 'flavors'. It
appears (to me) that it doesn't give you enough time to type in the
wireless passphrase.
I worked around it (my passphrase is quite long) by typing the
passphrase into a text editor, then selecting it and copying it, then
initiating connection to wireless, then pasting it into the dialog box
quickly, and hitting 'enter'.
This is a pain to do, but it let me work-around the problem.
