[Bug 912702] Re: the window "Wireless Network Authentication Required" keeps popping up until "the end of times" even though the previous one was not closed

 

I have similar problem. It looks like nm-applet lost access to the
gnome-keyring and now every time is asking for wireless key, does't
remember it, and seemengly spawns the dialog asking for the key
indeffinately.. I didn't count the number of windows, but had to click
close for quite a while before it went away.

It could conect to the router just fine before, now suddenly (after
holidays) started to ask for the key.

Title:
  the window "Wireless Network Authentication Required" keeps popping up
  until "the end of times" even though the previous one was not closed

Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I left the computer turned on for the night and in the morning I found
  not less than 65, yes 65!!!!!! instances of the same window. my system
  was responding very slowly. and closing one took more than a minute,
  so I had to kill it manually. take a look on my screenshots, they look
  really weird.

  this is very annoying!!!!

  solution: this window shouldn't pop up when the previous one was not
  closed!
