[Bug 1130326] Re: No Certificate Authority Certificate Dialog doesn't receive focus
Same problem on 14.10, with gnome-shell (gnome 3)
Trying to login to my university's wifi with PEAP. This seems to be a
common situation (#6, #7), and the workaround in #10 works for me
(select any cert in /etc/ssl/certs/ and remove the "ca-cert=..." line
from the appropriate file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ )

Title:
No Certificate Authority Certificate Dialog doesn't receive focus
Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Using Gnome 3.Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
network-manager 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.2
- I'm adding a new wireless network that uses certificates; "tunneled tls"
- I do not select a CA certificate in the initial dialog "Authentication required by wireless network"
- I get a warning popup "No certificate authority certificate chosen" with "ignore" and "select" (or similar)
- But this popup is not in focus, the buttons can't be clicked and the dialog can't be dismissed.
- I can't proceed except by clicking "cancel" in the partially-obscured "Authentication" dialog.
The result of this is that I can't use a self-signed certificate, and
so can't use the network.
When I do go to select a certificate, it filters by file extension.
The filter can't be disabled, so I don't see and can't select my
certificates. Note that when exporting certs e.g. from Thunderbird,
the extension is not added automatically, so it's likely that certs
won't have an appropriate extension.
Then in continuing interaction, gnome-settings manager segfaults. I've
used the autoreport function to file that separately.
peace,
isaac
