System Settings is firing-and-forgetting any network created from the “Other network…” dialog. Not sure there's anything network-manager can do here. System Settings should, upon error, allow the user to change the failed network connection, not create a brand new one.
Thanks for reporting this. ** Also affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1607835 Title: Failed 'add new connection' records a new connection anyway Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When adding a new wireless connection, if an incorrect setting selection is made the connection fails to add, as expected, with a warning (e.g. incorrect authentication) - this is the expected behaviour. However, the connection name gets saved under Settings > WiFi > Previous networks. This means if you, say, enter an incorrect password three times when trying to add a connection but get it right the fourth time, there will be four entries of the network you were trying to add, each suffixed by a number. The consequence is that in future the device fails to connect to that network when it is in range. Current solution is to forget all entries of the network and add it again (and get all settings right on the first try).
