Network manager won't save connection password

Hi there.
I am installing new notebook and I am stuggling with an issue for couple of days already.
I am on Cinnamon and I am using Network Manager.
Before installing that, I had net-auto-wireless daemon in rc.conf which did the job and wifi was working.
After switch to NM, I can search and see networks around me, but connection fails.
Here is the log:

I have searched forum here, but haven't found any solution so far.
When I select my network from NM applet, I never get asked for password. However, if I start nm-connection-editor from the command line, edit connection and password there, then all starts to work and there is no problem anymore. So the issue appears to be that NM never asks for password and therefore no connection can be stored.
I have read the wiki and have created org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pkla in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d directory.
Some remarks:
- please do not suggest to switch to wicd, I know about it, but I prefer to fix NM instead
- I tried to remove my other computer's saved wifi and it exhibits the same behavior. It worked once, 100% sure about it.
- It does not work also under regular Gnome 3 session, so it is not Cinnamon's fault.

Fixed!!! Went back into the dir: swtools/apps/fingerprint and noticed a second file named updater. Ran, rebooted.
Works. Never would have seen unless I went back.

Won't save websites password

I have tried two advice one is click on Remember password in option and that did not save the website password. I have tried disable Remember password as I can't find anywhere in option that clear history when closing the application. Even on website, I click on "Remember me" or "Remember password", either Firefox or the website won't save the password for next time in Firefox. I have version 29.0.1. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox with no success. Example of two websites I am having problem saving password for are Myspace and AOL. Can is there something I am missing to make this work? Thank you.

Network manager won't store my WIFI password

hi everyone,
i seem to have a problem with my network manager (tried both the KDE network connection manager as well as the gnome nm-applet).
Whenever i want to connect to my wifi it asks for my WIFI password, although it's correctly stored in the network manager already and it won't accept it, the password prompt pops up over and over again.
I'm desperate, i don't know what else to do, or what's causing this problem.
I also started the nm-applet from the terminal and got this error message:
m-applet-Message: No keyring secrets found for SSID/802-11-wireless-security; asking user.
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
does anyone have any ideas?
many thanks in advance,
theresa

Try to connect manually, open the terminal and issue the following:
ip link set <interface's name> down
ip link set <interface's name> up
Select your AP:
iwlist <interface's name> scan | grep ESSID
Connect to it:
wpa_supplicant -B -i <interface's name> -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/test.conf
Then print the status:
systemctl status dhcpcd@<interface's name>.service
or
systemctl status dhcpcd.service

Do you see any passwords in the Firefox Password Manager?

If not then delete key3.db and signons.sqlite as suggested in the Troubleshooting section.

Versamail won't save my password, it changes it to a longer unknown password, help!

I am trying to set up my versamail but when I try to save my password, the program changes it as soon as I save or move to the next page. The saved password is longer than my correct one. I have done a hard reboot, and used fileZ68 to delete all the settings but nothing changes. I am new to palm and like it but I really need my email!

Post relates to: Centro (Unlocked GSM)

Badunit you said "Continue setting up without the network. You can skip past it, right?"
It sounds like he is setting up the iPod via wif. You can't continue. What yo can do is reset the iPod
- Reset the iOS device.
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then start the setup over again but this time connect the iPod to a computer and set up via iTunes. Then he can troubleshoot the connection proboem.

QuickVPN won't save connection info

I'm using QuickVPN 1.0.0.40 and it's connecting fine to my WRV54G router but it won't save the connection info. If I enter the connection info and click Save, it says it did it, but if I exit and restart QuickVPN, the fields all come up blank.
On a different PC where it is working fine, I uninstalled it, then reinstalled it, and when I started it, all my old connection info was there. So it's not stored in the Program files\Linksys\Linksys VPN Client directory - since that was removed when I unistalled.
Any ideas? Having to reenter the IP address every time I start this is annoying.
Thanks

Hi… The info is saved by your OS. You might have disabled the auto save (save form) option that stores all the info you fill in on any form. You would need to enable that service. (Go to Internet Options || Contents | auto-complete settings)

Logic board replaced, now network settings won't save

Got the black screen, Apple replaced the logic board on my MBP for free (yay, Apple!), but now it won't remember my network settings. I have to run network diagnostics, type in my pswd, etc., every time I wake from sleep.
When I first got it back from Apple, it couldn't find the network at all, and Apple gave me free tech support (again, yay, Apple!) because I successfully argued that the logic board replacement had caused the problem. I didn't realize in that support session that setting up a new network, while it would be saved in the system, would not automatically stay "on" -- otherwise I would've dealt with that then.
Running: 10.5.8 on 2.2 ghz late 2007 MBP. Cable modem and Airport Extreme. Others in house have no problems with wireless connection. The only thing that's changed is my logic board.
I read through several discussions, which talked about editing system files and such that I'm extremely uncomfortable doing, and there doesn't seem to be a definite solution for this problem stemming from logic board replacement.
Thanks for any help...

Hi Kren,
It sounds like just a setting: Open System Preferences > Network > click on Advanced > click on Remember networks this computer has joined > you may wish to uncheck all the boxes for Require administrator password > click OK (I don't remember if you have to click Apply on the next screen, but if it's highlighted, you need to; if not, close Network and you should be good to go).

Dreamweaver won't save username/password

I'm encountering something very strange and very frustrating.
One particular site, inconveniently the one I'm currently
developing, keeps losing username/password for the FTP after I
close DW. It doesn't matter if I have the 'Save' option check(I
do), DW forgets the password after I close it.
After doing some googling, I found this was actually a very
common bug, and fixed by the latest DW update. However, the DW
update doesn't seem to install for me. When it gets to the part
where it should install, a new dialog appears over top saying its
trying to install Dreamweaver. It does nothing for awhile, then
eventually says "The application you are trying to install is on a
CD. Please put the CD in." Yeah, thanks Windo'hs. After that dialog
dies and goes away, a progress bar blips across the screen, then
informs me "Dreamweaver update 8.2.0 has successfully installed".
After loading up DW, it still says plain old 8.0 in the About
screen and splash screen, and the problem persists.
Additionally, all my shortcuts to DW 8 appear to have been
broken after the attempted update.
I'm very frustrated. Any advice?

Use the DW Site Manager to Export all of your site
definitions and FTP login
information - you can do all of them in one pass. Or get this
excellent
utility and use it -

No.

Yes.

Safari ver. 8.0.3 won't save usernames & passwords?

I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 - Safari ver. 8.0.3. I can’t get Safari to remember my user names and passwords. I have to keep entering them overtime I go to the many website I go to many times a day. I nave had this problem in the past with the earlier OS’s before. How do I fix this?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

CURED! Safari 6 won't save login passwords autofill

This has been bugging me to no end since installing Safari 6.
It appears that Safari 6 now complies with websites who have "autocomplete=off" hidden in the URL, which means it will not save passwords like it did before. Upon numerous attempts to research for a cure for this major annoyance, I finally stumbled across a discussion on the subject.
There is an extension you can install for Safari that overrides this. I just installed it and tested it with PayPal and Craigslist, and it works perfect!
You will have to make sure the username and password are already present in Keychain Access. If they aren't, add them manually.
Here's the direct download link for the extension. It will automatically download when you click it. Just click on it to install like any extension.
This is a genuine fix for this issue. You can check my previous posts to know I'm not pushing spam or anything else of the sort.
ENJOY!

Notification and Network Preferences won't save in Yosemite

When I change my notification centre to ‘Sort Manually’, sort it manually, and change the banners to my liking, the settings hold until I reboot. The same is true when ordering my preferred networks in Network settings. Any way to fix this?

The article at this link provided a solution that worked for me.
