I think this is due to https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=d2f019409d0906814ccd2050ce39609903f879f7 any chance to test scratch build https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=25582111 ? > it repeatedly keeps asking for password although Cancel is pressed to cancel
> the operation
"repeatedly"? It should retry only a few times anyway and then block for 5 minutes. Did it really ask forever?
"Repeatedly" means the following: 1. The laptop is connected to the wired connection and the connection is working. 2. The connection dialog jumps out requiring to connect to a password protected wifi and it asks for the password. The password must be set using a generated code, so I cannot store it for later. 3. I hit "Cancel" because I do not need that wifi to be connected (I have wired). 4. Immediately after pressing Cancel it jumps out again, and again, and again for several times. 5. Then it stops for some time and after that, points 2 - 4 repeat. 6. To avoid it, I have to connect it to some network, but I cannot leave it not connected. I think that this is quite a stupid behaviour. It is ok to ask for once, whether the user wants to provide the password for the Network, and if they decide not to provide it, it should stop trying to connect, until the user explicitly says so. Why do we need repetitions like this if users do not want to connect? In previous versions (before I switched to F28), the behaviour was different. After Cancel it stopped asking until the computer was freshly started - as I think it should behave. Have a nice time. Lukas any chance to test scratch build https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=25582111 ? (In reply to Thomas Haller from comment #5) > any chance to test scratch build > https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=25582111 ? Never mind testing. I just assume it's fixed. NetworkManager-1.10.6-1.fc28 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 28. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-6b7a05a4bf NetworkManager-1.10.6-1.fc28 has been pushed to the Fedora 28 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for instructions on how to install test updates. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-6b7a05a4bf Hello, I could not download any package from the link you have provided. I am updating my system now and will test asap. Thanks very much, Thomas. It is fixed. Now the applet works as expected. Thank you a thousand times.
