I can reproduce it, yes. It happens every day. The steps I take: select a WPA-protected wireless network from nm-applet. it will, in order: 1. bring up the gnome-keyring password dialog. Here I hit "deny" 2. prompt for the network information. Here I enter the WPA key. At this point the applet sits for awhile while the network connection is negotiated. 3. bring up the gnome-keyring password dialog. Again, I hit "deny". At this point the applet switches from the negotiation animation to the wireless status bars. Previously it didn't always ask for the password a second time, but as far as I can tell it now does so consistently.
I would prefer that it never asked for the keyring password at all, as I don't store the WPA key there. It especially should also not ask a second time, unless there's an option in the dialog from step 2 to store the passphrase in the keyring. (that is, assuming that it's prompting in order to store the key -- I have no way of telling why it's trying to open the keyring; for all I can tell it's trying to open it in order to send all my passwords to a random email address) -- nm-applet: requests keyring password, doesn't use it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/125075 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
