Package: gnome-control-center Version: 1:3.0.2-3+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The System Settings > Network > Wireless > Options... screen is unavailable unless you're actually connected to the network. This is problematic for remembered, misconfigured wireless networks: - Seleting such a network in the Network Name drop-down box automatically attempts to connect. While attempting to connect, the "Options..." button is grayed out. - Once connection fails, you are prompted for a new network key, but you can't change any other settings. If another setting is preventing you from connecting (possible with, e.g., WPA & WPA2 Enterprise with PEAP authentication), this obviously won't help. (It actually shows you the username, which in my case was at fault, but you can't edit it.) Pressing cancel reverts the Network Name drop-down box to its previous setting. - Selecting "Other..." for the network pops up a window with a secondary drop-down box listing remembered networks. Selecting one of these shows you all of its settings (as if configuring a new network), but they are grayed out and cannot be edited. - Selecting Other... > New... and re-entering all (corrected) network configurations does succeed in creating a new, similarly named remebered wireless network which can connect successfully. The existing, faulty configuration remains and cannot be altered or deleted via gnome-control- center. nm-connection-editor is able to correct the problem, and a Main Menu entry does exist for nm-connection-editor (Applications > System Tools > Network Connections), but it's not clear that I might have to go somewhere other than System Settings to fix a misconfigured network. Perhaps the System Settings > Network > Wireless tool should not automatically connect upon selecting a network in the drop-down box, but could instead have a Connect/Disconnect button as well as having the Options button enabled while not connected. The Connect to Hidden Wireless Network window (available through "Other...") should allow editing of remembered network settings as well as the deletion of remembered networks. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-control-center depends on: ii accountsservice 0.6.15-2 ii apg 2.2.3.dfsg.1-2 ii desktop-file-utils 0.18-1 ii gnome-control-center-data 1:3.0.2-3 ii gnome-desktop3-data 3.2.1-3 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.2.1.2-1 ii gnome-icon-theme-symbolic 3.2.1-1 ii gnome-menus 3.2.0.1-2 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.0.3-3+b1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.2.0-2 ii libatk1.0-0 2.2.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-23 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.10.2-6.2 ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6.2 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.28-3 ii libcanberra0 0.28-3 ii libcomerr2 1.42-1 ii libcups2 1.5.0-13 ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.16-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.98-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-3 ii libfreetype6 2.4.8-1 ii libgconf2-4 2.32.4-1 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.0-3 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.24.0-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.30.2-4 ii libgnome-control-center1 1:3.0.2-3+b1 ii libgnome-desktop-3-2 3.2.1-3 ii libgnome-menu2 3.0.1-4 ii libgnomekbd7 3.2.0-1 ii libgnutls26 2.12.14-5 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.10+dfsg~alpha1-6 ii libgtk-3-0 3.2.2-3 ii libgtop2-7 2.28.4-2 ii libk5crypto3 1.10+dfsg~alpha1-6 ii libkrb5-3 1.10+dfsg~alpha1-6 ii libnm-glib4 0.9.2.0-1 ii libnm-util2 0.9.2.0-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.29.4-2 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.103-1 ii libpulse-mainloop-glib0 1.0-4 ii libpulse0 1.0-4 ii libupower-glib1 0.9.15-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.4.4-4 ii libxi6 2:1.4.3-3 ii libxklavier16 5.1-2 ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-5 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 Versions of packages gnome-control-center recommends: ii gnome-session 3.2.1-1 ii gnome-user-guide 3.2.2-1 ii iso-codes 3.31-1 ii mousetweaks 3.2.1-1 ii policykit-1-gnome 0.105-1 Versions of packages gnome-control-center suggests: ii gnome-screensaver 3.2.0-2+b1 ii gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio 0.10.30-2.1 ii libcanberra-gtk-module 0.28-3 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.6+3 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
