[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

Edit: and install gnome-keyring ofc

HT204400 Apple TV will not ask for my wifi password to connect - it says it is connected but it is not- i click on my wifi and says connected but does not ask for my password

I just hooked up my Apple TV - it is all connected correctly- when my wifi comes up on my tv screen i click and select it. It then says it is "connected" , but it is not as is it has not asked for the password for my wifi. I have turned it all off and back on, I have restarted it as well. I do know why it will not ask for my password - am I missing something?

It will not ask after it is already connected. Is ATV working? Can you connect to the iTunes store, Netflix, etc?

Why is my Thunderbird email account suddenly not asking for a password?

I have shut down my computer and when I go into my email account it for some reason does not asked for my password....Not sure what has happened. Would appreciate any help...

From the Menu Bar select '''Tools-Options-Security-Passwords-Saved Passwords'''
Delete the saved password entry and restart Thunderbird.
No menu bar with Tools? Press the alt key.

Portege M400: Why am I not asked for a password at boot?

Hi,
I have a Portege M400 and I used the Toshiba Security Assist software to set up a BIOS boot password as well as an HDD protection password. This software, as well as the actual BIOS (Esc+F1 at boot) both show that the password I set is registered/recognized.
However, I am not actually asked for either of those passwords when I boot the computer!!!
I have a dual-boot system with the original WinXP for Tablet PC on one of the partitions, and an Ubuntu Feisty on another. My boot loader is GRUB but I don't understand why that should affect the behaviour of the BIOS that should happen before it calls the boot loader...
Can someone help me with this? It would be really important for me to protect my BIOS and the hard drive.
Thanks in advance,
dsokus

1. Check your security settings with the Toshiba password utilty. Are these configured correctly?
2. Did you set the user or the supervisor password? If you only set the supervisor password you are not asked for the password.
3. Try to set the HDD and User pw in the initial bios setup (press ESC when prowering on).

Erased all saved passwords, rebooted, now TB does not ask for new password!

I erased all saved passwords as I've had to change the passwords on my accounts. I then rebooted and now TB does not ask for new password. I have rebooted entire computer and still no change.
Thanks!

I presume you removed the passwords via Tools > Options > Security > Passwords tab.
Do you have these settings in Account Settings:
Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account.
* select: 'Check for new messages at start up'
* select: 'check for new messages every eg: 15 minutes'
* select : 'Automatically download new messages'
make other prefered settings and click on OK to save changes.

Update your system - "pacman -Syu". The clue is that the file you manually downloaded is different to the one pacman is trying to get.

I cannot hook to my wifi it shows it but will not allow me to hook to it. I have a password but it does not ask for the password just tells me to dismiss

My I phone 4 will not hook to my wifi. All it says is cannot connect to netgear then dismiss. I have a pssword but it does not ask for it Thanks

Well, what exactly isn't working? Do you get any errors? What system are you on? As a start, check this:

I have an airport extreme space station which works fine, but does not ask for the password so anyone can get on my network. I don't know what to do to fix this.

I set up airport wifi with a WEP password, but it never asks for the password and anyone can enter my network...what to do?

Is it possible to backtrack your way out of the keychain?
Yes:
Run the Keychain Access utility found in \Applications\Utilities
In the category column (on the left side of the utilities' window), select "All Items."
In the right column look for your Network Name. It will have a "Kind" of "AirPort network password."
Delete every entry that has both your Network Name with this Kind.
What can I do to test or reset?
You can completely erase all the base station's passwords by performing either a "hard" or "factory default" reset. You can also temporarily disable these passwords for up to five minutes so that you will have enough time to change them using the AirPort Utility, by just performing a "soft" reset. I would recommend this one first.
This would also be a good time to consider using WPA or WPA2, instead of WEP, as WEP is no longer considered secure.
I got the airport extreme based used with no softward and set up with reset on airport base and followed instructions.
You can download a copy of the AirPort Utility, that runs on OS X Tiger here.

New iPad asks for WiFi password. There is none. My WiFi uses WEP 128 bit encryption, but there is no "password" to enter.

Brand new to the iPad. It's asking for a password to the WiFi network in my home. There is no "password" as such associated with this WiFi network. It uses WEP 128 bit encryption where each byte is a hexadecimal number and is called a "key" Typing this lengthy thing in gives me no results. The iPad keeps on asking for a password. I have three computers and a DVD hooked to the network which has been working for a decade, so that's not the issue.
Basically I'm stuck not being able to get onto the WiFi system.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

What do I do if I had iPad password protected so no downloads could be done without my permission but now all of a sudden it is not asking for a password?

So that my little grandson couldn't download games without my knowledge it always asked for my password. All of a sudden this morning he downloaded four games before I even knew it. How do I fix this?

SSDD - Network-Manager-Applet never works for me...

So I've discovered the wonders of E17 and everything works wine, apart from a few minor bugs of course, but nothing to do with networking.
Just to be sure I've been following the instructions on the wiki, but though it would seen that nm-apples is actually started, it does not show up in the taskbar, which kinda defeats the purpose.
I should mention of course that to the best of my abilities I've checked and rechecked that there's nothing wrong with my network interfaces. After much meddling about I even succeeded in compiling connman, which seem to work, only my wireless is disable in the process and I can't seem to enable it.
When I log out and try a: "ip link set wlan0 up" and all I get is this:
RTNETLINK answers: operation not possible due to RF-kill
which of course is of no help at all.
I don't know where else to go from here, apart from one of those Linus distributions where the wireless is more or less the only thing that works.
I don't really know what I'm asking for, but I'm out of ideas and certainly out of my mind to go trough this every single time and either ending up creating the connection manually every time it's needed, or something else than Arch.
Mind you I'm not saying that this is anyone's fault but my own, only I can not see how it can be my own. I've tried just about everything, including praying to various gods.!
Well, enough ranting. If anyone have any suggestion, they are certainly welcome.
Best regards.
edit:
I should be sure to mention that the rf-kill issue is not a hardware switch issue. The issue does not exists using networkmanager.

I've had similar issues in the UK with my ATV. I am able to stream photos and music from any of the other devices around the house, via wi-fi to it, but movies have been hit and miss. We have had 3 that have stopped during playback, telling us it will be another 1 1/2 hrs before it has loaded. We have ended up trying the following:
Resetting the ATV
Restoring it to factory settings
Trying different wi-fi channels
Using Ethernet (it's about a foot away)
Downloading movies way in advance of watching them
Our wi-fi signal is full strength with an average rate of 9.8MB and I don't have issues with drop-outs or impaired performance on any other device as far as I know. I've had to resume movies by renting them again on our Virgin Media service and get refunds from the iTunes store...
It's been really frustrating, but speaking to experts in my local Apple store and finally, Applecare, it appears that I may have a rogue unit. I'm sending it back for them to check as it is still under warranty.
Maybe you have similar?

My apple tv does not ask for a password after connecting to wifi

I'm not tech savey at all!! I've just hooked up my apple tv. it connects to wifi but doesn't prompt me for a password. The wifi is password protected. Any ideas?

Unfortunately as AppleTV does not have a web browser it can't show that webpage to connect.
Just to be sure I assume this is a webpage with a company name of the wifi supplier for thata area/group of residences asking you to login using some credentials and accept terms and conditions, not a configuration page for a router or similar?
You might be able to share an internet connection from a computer over ethernet but sometimes the terms of these connections prohibit that.

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

IPhone constantly asking for WiFi passwords when SSID is known

I recently got a new iPhone 6 and whenever I'm out somewhere in town I get random prompts "incorrect WiFi password" all the time. This didn't happen on my old 4S that was still running running iOS 7.
So I narrowed this problem down: This happens when some random WiFi network is nearby that just happens to have an SSID name that matches a different network that I previously connected to. Because a lot of people leave the default names like "AndroidAP", this soon becomes annoying as ****.
Now, the password prompt probably makes sense from a technical point of view. Probably it cannot tell WiFis with identical SSIDs apart, right?? But it's so persistent, it annoys the **** out of me. Obviously iOS 7 had a way of "failing silently" - the WiFi password at my work changes every week and yet I never got this message on my old phone. It just would not connect and let you re-enter the password by going into WiFi settings.
Anyone know how to get the old behavior back?

I had the same problem and what I did was to ask a friend to activate his AndroidAP network, let me log in with his password and after being connected I went to Wi-Fi Settings of that network ("AndroidAP") and choose "Forget this Network". It takes a bit of trouble for doing this (and someone able to create a network with the name "AndroidAP", but at least my movies won't be interrupted again when I'm travelling on the bus through the city. Please Apple, allow users to ignore SSIDs without needing to be logged in
