I believe what is happening is that network-manager is asking for the password over and over again as it tries to connect but "Deny" makes seahorse refuse the request. I agree it would be nice if seahorse could communicate to network-manager saying you request has been denied don't ask again or if seahorse ignored further requests after being denied for a time.
There are ways around this you can set your default keyring so that it has no password. I think you access this through 'system->accessories->passwords and encryption keys' then 'edit->preferences' and go to the 'Password Keyrings' tab. Here there is a button 'Change Unlock Password'. The default keyring is where network passwords are stored. I have also heard but not tested that you can right click on the network-manager icon in the notification area and select 'Edit Connections...'. Then find your network and click the 'Edit' button. Here there is a 'system setting' checkbox that if checked you will not be asked for the password. Again I have not tested this method. Thanks for reporting this. Assuming your problem has been solved I am going to this invalid. If you would still like to report a bug about the 'Deny' button functionality you can change the status back. I that case I think the best thing to do would be to also add seahorse as an affected package. This would then also have to be reported upstream and it likely will fall under the category of wishlist as I think technically both network-manager and seahorse are performing as expected. -- [8.10] Selecting "Deny" on the password confirmation does nothing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
