It looks like you used gnome-control-center to change the password. Does it make a difference if you use nm-connection-editor (from network-manager-gnome) to change the password? -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
