Title:
network monitor doesnt retry connection after waiting for password for
too long
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I have set ubuntu (8.10) to automatically log in to gnome on startup -
this results in the keyring manager asking for my password anyway,
since it needs it in order to unlock the keyring so that it can
connect to any of my wireless networks that i'm near. Trouble is if i
turn the laptop on and walk off when i come back gnome is logged in
and the keyring thing is asking for my password, but by the time i
type it in the WPA authentication request that network manager
initiated has timed out. Once i put my password into keyring manager,
it just goes away, and network manager does not try to reinitiate the
WPA logon. So I have to click the network manager tray icon and
manually choose my wireless connection.
What i'd like to happen is i turn my laptop, come back minutes later
and gnome is up, and i'm connected to the nearest wireless network.
What happens currently is i turn the laptop on, walk off, gnome logs
in, network manager asks the keyring manager for one of my WPA keys,
but keyring manager needs me to have sudo'd recently or something
which i assume is usually accomplished by typing in your password to
log in to gnome, so sits there waiting for a password to be put in
while network manager times out and gives up. Then once i give the
keyring manager my password it takes it but has no one to give my WPA
keys to. Then i manually tell network manager which network to connect
to.
