Title:
On graphical login, Network Manager window gets in the way
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
New in 13.04, on a laptop with wifi (in addition to being wired), when
the login gui comes up on boot-up, I can no longer simply type in my
password to log in.
This is because a wifi authentication window pops up, asking for a
password for my wifi connection. Worse, it does not let me get the
focus back to the log in screen or anywhere else: I have to explicitly
click "cancel ".
After I log in, the wifi password is not needed, since the Manager has
stored it and connects automatically, using its stored password.
It may be nice to be able to access the network before logging in, but
that option should not interrupt my log-in process, and certainly not
block it!
Moreover, given that my machine is also connected to wired ethernet
(by DHCP, no password), it is hardly a high priority to get wifi
going.
This problem exists on both of my laptops (very different hardware).
