Another possible hint: some in this set of packages currently in vivid proposed breaks the WiFi password dialog:

Need to get 21.4 MB of archives. After this operation, 2,157 kB of additional disk space will be used. As none of these packages seem directly related, but libc is being updated, I'm wondering if the issue is a ABI mismatch in a codepath only being triggered on Utopic Unity systems (as I also noticed that network- manager seemingly wasn't rebuilt at any time during Utopic). So my next test is a no-change rebuild of network-manager for Utopic... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1388130 Title: Cannot connect to WiFi with Nvidia GPU using nvidia-331, SSD Status in System76: Triaged Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: For some strange reason, we cannot connect to WiFi on hardware with a descrete Nvidia GPU (using the nvidia-331 driver) when the system is running off a fast SSD. Swap the SSD for a platter drive, and things work fine. Likewise, on Intel GPU systems, with either an SSD or a platter drive, WiFi works fine. The failure message is: """ Connection activation failed. (1) Creation of object for path '/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/2' failed in libnm-glib """ See the attached screenshot.
