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

  • [xfce4] network-manager-applet not asking for Wifi password

    I am running XFCE with  the gnome network-manager-applet and kwallet as password storage and I do not want to use the gnome keyring because it is making many problems with my current setup.
    There are multiple ways to store passwords in NetworkManager. To save them plain in the config files is not an option for me. So I can put them in a password store or hack them in every time I want to connect.
    While the gnome network-manager-applet does not work with kwallet I accepted to do all the hackery every time.
    Problem: I even can not hack in the passwords.
    If I try to connect the connection is disconnected immediately. The logs say, that "The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files".
    Long story short:
    - NetworkManager needs the dbus service "org.freedesktop.secrets" to read passwords (via password store or via prompt)
    - kwallet does not announce "org.freedesktop.secrets" - this is done by the nm-plasma applet (which I can not run without hacking XFCE)
    - gnome-keyring announces itself as a secret agent but does not work with my setup
    Do I need to write my own secret agent which only shows a password prompt and parses the input to NM or is there any option/tool/patch/hack/miracle that I have missed to use kwallet with gnome network-manager-applet or to get a password prompt without installing gnome-keyring?
    Thanks in advance

    add this to your start-up: gnome-keyring-daemon --components=gpg
    Edit: and install gnome-keyring ofc

  • All of a sudden my iphone 4 won't accept my wifi password does anyone know how I can fix this?

    suddenly my iphone won't accept my wifi password. I know the wifi is working because i can use my computer and up until today it worked on my phone too...what gives???? helpful suggestions please.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • 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.

  • Lumina 822 won't remember new wifi password after ...

    Phone Information:
    Model: NOKIA Lumia 822
    Carrier: Verizon Wireless
    Software: Windows Phone 8.1 Update
    At work, there are wireless access points all over the building. When I arrive in the morning, I am prompted for my enterprise password, and when I move from access point to access point, my phone drops my wireless connection and re-prompts me for my enterprise password even though the SSID is the same. This behavior started happening after I updated my phone from Windows Phone 8.0 to Windows Phone 8.1 AND after I subsquently changed my enterprise password.
    It seems to NOT be storing my new password in the wireless connection profile.  I have tried deleting the profile and recreating it, but that doesn't seem to fix it.
    I do not have this problem at home--and I have multiple routers in my home with the same SSID configured in bridge mode--but then I haven't changed my wireless password at home in years.
    I believe there is a bug in this update, but I can't put my finger on it--can someone explain what's going on and when it will be fixed?  I'm former Microsoft--I'm wondering if they are experiencing this on campus in Redmond.  I'm guessing not.  I don't have specifics on what my current employer is running.  But my wireless connection is configured for "WPA2 Enterprise EAP Method = PEAP MS-CHAP v2".

    Hi, rmckenrick. Have you already tried resetting the phone? Note that files will be deleted, so backup is a must. BTW, any difference if you press and hold both the volume down and the power keys for 10-15 seconds? If that doesn't help, you may use the Windows Phone Recovery Tool to reset or recover the phone's software. Link is intended for the UK, but you can still change it to your local support page. Let us know the outcome. 

  • TS1398 iPad won't recognize wifi password after 7.0.2 update.  (The password is correct, but iPad says it's incorrect) How do I fix this?

    My iPad won't recognize my wifi password after 7.0.2 update.  The password IS correct, but I continue to get the message that the password is incorrect.  Any ideas how to fix this?

    I have the same problem too on my iPad 3. One thing that sometimes works is if you go to the App Store and put your password in there after a few tries it may work.

  • Will AppleTV store WIFI passwords?

    We have 6 wifi routers around the building and every time AppleTV connects to a different one (same network name) it asks for the WiFI password. Any option I have missed to have AppleTV store the network passwords?
    Thanks

    Yes it stores the password but only for your current connection, you need to re-enter the password if you connect to another base station.

  • [SOLVED] Network Manager cannot connect to wifi after suspend

    Hi,
    There appears to be similar threads recently, but they relate to no wifi at all. I did some updates today, and now if I suspend or hibernate, network manager cannot reconnect to my wifi.

    For those using the arch repo kernel the next release will solve this issue. So I suggest waiting for this (no more than a few days) and use the LTS kernel in the meantime (or using a fixed ath9k module if already built).
    Thanks for that heiko. I thought that would be the case, hence I just waited.
    Will mark this as solved.

  • IPad 2 on iOS 5.1 losing wifi password.

    I've updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5.1 and now it won't keep the wifi password. Each time I have to re-input the password. Sometimes it loses the password whilst I'm using it and just disconnects. It was fine on 5.0 but it's doing my nut in now. I'm sure this is a software glitch so Apple sort it out! My new iPad has had this problem once since I've had it, but the iPad 2 won't remember the password no matter what. It's not hardware as it worked fine for a year before this update.

    1- What type of security are you using?  (WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc.)
    2- Do you have your router set to hide your network's SSID (network name)?
    WEP seems to be problematic with iOS devices, and it is not very good security anyway.  Using WPA2 is far better and plays nice with iOS.
    Hiding your SSID can be problematic with iOS devices (my son's Mac had a problem with that too).  There really is no need to hide your SSID since that doesn't protect you in any way, it is quite easy to sniff around and find your network (I have a free app for that, so that tells you how prevalent such 'tools' are).

  • Gnome-network-manager problems

    Hello all,
    I'm trying to use gnome-network-manager to connect to my wifi as it is WEP enabled and I don't know how to get it working in 'network'.
    I followed this tutorial: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager
    However, when I reboot under those settings, I can't connect to anything, including ethernet.
    Is there a problem in the wiki or is there a workaround that hasn't been posted there yet? I'm utterly confused as to why it will not work.
    Also, if you need me to paste any code from any file, can you also tell me an easy way to copy/paste between aterm and Opera as I haven't found a way to do that yet.
    Thank you very much for any help.

  • [SOLVED] Network Manager with iPhone 3G S

    OK, so work got me a shiny new iPhone 3G S today. When I'm being paid to play with it, I'll give it a shot
    Anyway, I've successfully paired the iPhone over bluetooth with Arch on my laptop, which creates the bnep0 network interface. If I run dhcpcd on this interface, the iPhone gives me a DHCP lease in the 192.168.20.x subnet, and after configuring the opendns nameservers, I'm successfully tethered to the iPhone with full network connectivity
    Is there a way I can get Network Manager to do the 'dhcp' and 'nameserver' parts for me? In the nm-applet GUI, there's no option for specifying interfaces or anything just "wired" (eth0) and "wireless" (wlan0) as well as the VPN, 3G etc tabs.
    Also (I know someone wants to mention this), I am already aware that bluetooth is going to be speed limiting, but this connection will generally only be used for SSH sessions back to the office, so I don't really care about that. I'm happy to use bluetooth to reduce the number of cables required - already have external mouse, external hard drive, power supply and serial cable when I'm at a client site, I don't really want a USB cable to the iPhone as well. Unless Network Manager can't do this over bluetooth, but it can over USB, then I'll concede on the extra cable.

    Here's instructions for Ubuntu, I doubt there will be many discrepancies between Ubuntu and Arch though. Just translate the apt-get crap with the appropriate yaourt or pacman command.
    http://undulynoted.net/2009/06/tether-i … -required/
    Ubuntu:
    Why oh why does apple hardware suck so hard with linux. You will get constant disconnects if your phone is more than a few feet away from the computer. But alas, it is still faster than pdanet or iphonemodem2.
    If you are not on a mac congratulations, you have had fewer headaches.
    Open the terminal and type:
    sudo apt-get install blueman bluez-compat
    This will remove wcid which hopefully isn't a problem for most of you.
    It will ask you to restart, please do.
    Once Ubuntu is back up click on your bluetooth icon in the upper right (which is now managed by blueman)
    IMPORTANT: Right click on the bluetooth icon and choose local services. Make sure to click the radio box that says "Network manager" instead of "blueman" under the network pane. This will allow Network Manager to take over the controlling of your connection (which is good). REBOOT AFTER THIS STEP!
    Go to the bluetooth settings in your iphone (Settings > General > Bluetooth) and make sure they are on.
    Hit the search button in blueman and you should see your iphone after a few seconds.
    WARNING: This is where it gets flaky on the macbook pro. Best results I have has is to highlight the phone in blueman and hit "Bond"
    Choose to auto generate a pass on the next option. Next. Now wait for the iPhone to ask you to type in the passphrase. Type in the 4 digit one that blueman gives you. VERY IMPORTANT. While they are joining eachother keep you eye on the computer. It will ask you if you always want to trust the iPhone (device name). Hit Always or else you will have trouble.
    Always initiate the connection from the iPhone. In the bluetooth settings on the iphone you will now see your computer name listed and the words "not conencted" next to it. Click it. Wait a few and it will hopefully say connected. Look back to blueman and you will now see status bars on the iphone. Right click on your iphone in blueman. Choose "Setup". Network access point is click by default so just hit "Next".
    Now head over to Network Manager and you should see "Auto benp0″. Click it to connect and give it a few to generate an IP. DONE enjoy surfing the internet through your data plan without jailbreaking. I have noticed quite a few speed gains over pdanet. Also, i noticed I got better results when i used openDNS's servers (208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222).
    If you have done everything correctly and Network Manager won't take over the connection of you can see it and it says "not managed" or something of the sort you need to check out the following:
    Open terminal and type: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
    see if you have bnep0 located there. if you do, comment out or delete that line. and reboot your machine.

  • I need a keyring (that works with network-manager)

    Hi there,
    I'm new to Arch linux (coming from Ubuntu) and I'm wondering how to set up a keyring that works with that gnome-network-manager applet and ssh(fs). I previously used GNOME and the gnome keyring, and all out of the box.
    I couldn't find any manuals on how to set up the gnome-keyring in Arch linux, neither regarding ssh(fs) nor network-manager. I read people are complaining about network-manager asking for the keyring-unlocking-password, but this doesn't happen for me.
    How do I set up the gnome-keyring propertly?

    From this bug page:
    The /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf file is made root-readable only. This means that any malicious users must have root access or physical access to the machine. In either of these cases, you have far more problems than worrying about the wireless network key.
    Please see http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/PlainTextPasswords for a very good explanation as to why the passwords are not encrypted.
    It may be plain text, but only root can read/write.
