I've had this bug since 10.10 and now I'm on 14.04. It's still bugging me, and actually with the release of 14.04 it has gotten worse. Now, when I power up my laptop, my Password login prompt gets interrupted by the SIM PIN popup. Once I log in, another SIM PIN Unlock Required popup interrupts me. No amount of Never require PIN again clicking ever stops the distro from asking me to unlock my SIM. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/704123 Title: NM asks non-administrative user for the PIN even though it's in the system-connections file Status in NetworkManager: Unknown Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager I've configured a system-wide 3g broadband connection.

I can confirm that the same applies for Ubuntu 13.04. While browsing the source code, I learned that the dialog will not be presented if the environment variable INDICATOR_GREETER_MODE is set (the value seems to be irrelevant). However, I haven't found a good way to pass this variable to nm-applet yet. Additionally, I'm using the WWAN modem with multiple SIM cards, and having a single PIN for all of them is not an acceptable solution. However, I would like to have a configuration for each network operator/SIM card with the respective PINs stored for each connection.

Like onitake, I also think nm(-applet?) should not ask for a PIN at all. I have a SIM-card plugged into my laptop which I only need occasionally. Annoyingly, nm asks me on every log-in to enter the PIN, whether I use it or not. Also, it is not clear what will happen if one enters the PIN (instead of pressing just escape on the dialog). Will nm make a connection? Even if it's not the users intention? What does it need the PIN for then?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 704123] Re: NM asks non-administrative user for the PIN even though it's in the system-connections file
Thomas, I can't say if the bug is completely reproduceable in Precise. I tend to restrict stored PINs to the current user for security reasons. In this case, the PIN dialog appears whenever I log in. It's an annoyance, albeit a minor one. My take on the issue is that nm should not ask for a PIN at all. Only when a connection is made should the user be presented with a PIN dialog - and in this case nm will know if a PIN is stored or not, no matter if system wide or user specific. YMMV, but I think this approach would kill all birds with a single stone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/704123 Title: NM asks non-administrative user for the PIN even though it's in the system-connections file Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager I've configured a system-wide 3g broadband connection.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 704123] Re: NM asks non-administrative user for the PIN even though it's in the system-connections file
I too can confirm that the bug still exists on Ubuntu 12.04 with network-manager 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.1. So I guess this report should be re-opened. ** Summary changed: - PIN is asked despite it's configured into the system connection + NM asks non-administrative user for the PIN even though it's in the system-connections file -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/704123 Title: NM asks non-administrative user for the PIN even though it's in the system-connections file Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager I've configured a system-wide 3g broadband connection. In fact it's there a file with all the provided details in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ . If I switch (log-out + log-in) to a non-administrative user, as soon as I plug the USB 3G modem I get asked the modem PIN. This is included into the mentioned file. The objective is to allow a normal user to connect with the modem with out the knowledge of username, password and PIN. The defails follow. $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 10.10 Release: 10.10 Codename: maverick How to reproduce the bug: 1. Log in as an administrative user (the first one you create at installation time) 2. Plug the USB 3G modem into a port 3. Go to System--Preferences--Newtwork Connections--Mobile Broadband 4. Fill all the needed details (as well as the PIN) 5. Check Automatically connect and Available to all users 6. Test the connection is working. 7. Check the file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ 8. Reboot (maybe just logout and long is enough) 9. Log in as the administrative user 10. Plug the USB modem What happens The system asks for the PIN. You can ignore this request. Then you can go to the netowrk icon and select the broadband connection and click it. This time the PIN is not required and the connection fires up. What is expected to happen No PIN is required at the modem insertion and the connection fires up automatically. Extra steps. 11. Create another non administrative user which is capable to connect through modems (groups dialout and dip). 12. Switch to this new user 13. Plug the USB modem. What happens The system asks for aìthe PIN. You cannot ignore this request.
