[Bug 1536077] [NEW] nmcli hangs when running from tty and connecting to wifi

 

Public bug reported:

nmcli version 1.0.4
Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch)
16.04 - Updated 

Try this command from virtual consoles.

nmcli device wifi <correct ssid> password <wrong password>

Expected: Some kind of error message notifying about wrong password
It never responds until keyboard interrupt.


When i run the same command from terminal, it spawns a window asking for the correct password.

** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu)
