After doing some trial and error with network-manager-gnome working. I completely removed all of the gnome network manager and keyring stuff. And re-installed the kde plasma-widget-networkmanagement - 0.9~svn1029786+ag1-0ubuntu1...
I couldn't get it to work at first. But I deleted all old saved kwallets, and all of the saved networks related to my hidden ssid. I then tried to connect with kwallet disabled. It would not see my network. But (sudo iwlist wlan1 scan essid hiddenwlanssid) would make it see it but no connection. Clicking on it opened up a secret dialog to re-enter the wpa2 key (even though I had entered it in the "Connect to Other Network." It would still not work, so I enabled kwallet and clicked on it again. This time it connected! I then deleted the kwallet and the network again to start fresh. This time, kwallet disabled. Left click on the wireless icon in taskbar >> Manage Networks >> Other >> Connection Secrets >> In File (unencrypted). Right click wireless icon >> Connect to Other Network >> It shows my network ssid but without a little wireless signal next to it (hidden). Double clicking on it brings up the dialog to enter the security info. I entered it all and saved it. It didn't connect, but (sudo iwlist wlan1 scan essid hiddenwlanssid) worked. It connected and this time WITHOUT USING KWALLET. So, it seems the problem is plasma-widget-networkmanager doesn't remember to connect even though the ssid and key is saved (regardless of kwallet or not). One thing I have noticed that it doesn't always reconnect after startup. sudo iwlist wlan1 scan essid hiddenwlanssid will make it connect though. -- cannot connect to hidden ssid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to plasma-widget-networkmanagement in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
