I was affected by and resolved this bug in my system. The cause was that I hadn't done the 15E-per-month top-up that the contract required.
The fix was to pay the 15E, then I had to delete the network connection and recreate it before it went back to working. The error message is confusing, yes. I attach the syslog extract from an unsuccessful attempt yesterday to connect exhibiting thid behaviour. In the next comment I will attach an extract from a successful one today. Each extract runs from insertion of the device to me prodding it to connect, to the session failure or successful connection. The Password window seems to be triggered by the provider failing the CHAP negotiation - see line 103 of the "unsuccessful" log. However, it may not be possible to do anything different, other than simply drop the "password" window completely. Tha would fix this bug (simply failing the connection without giving a bogus reason why) but may cause breakage for people who don't want to store passwords and prefer to type them in every time. ** Attachment added: "syslog for unsuccessful connection triggering this bug" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/518480/+attachment/2623022/+files/518480-unsuccessful.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518480 Title: NM prompts for password, doesn't accept it - Huawei E172 3G To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager/+bug/518480/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
