Unable to change WiFi connection #147

Closed mike9251 closed 5 years ago

mike9251 commented 5 years ago

I can't change my WiFi connection (the one I connected to during OS installation). When I click on another connection, it doesn't ask password but shows red exclamation mark and automatically starts connecting to the net I was connected before. What can be the issue? How to fix it? Thanks.

Managed to solve the issue in an unexpected way - before connecting to any WiFi connection go to 'Edit Connections...' and remove the connection with '-'. After that connecting to this connection it is needed to enter the password and connection gets established. Still I think it is not the expected behavior, hope it will be fixed in the future.

I'm able to reproduce that solution, and that isn't the expected behavior or how it should function. So I think this should remain open because it's a regression.

Hi worldofpeace! Have you touched the gnome-keyring? I deleted it when Chromium started to ask for password during every launch. Now I have installed the gnome-keyring (got rid of the annoying Chromium's password request in a different way) and it seems switching between wifi connections works fine (without deleting them first). I think the problem was somehow related to the deleted gnome-keyring.

I think using the deprecated libgnome-keyring has that bug.

No, though that is an interesting link that I will investigate.
