This problem also appears, if you have a wrong configuration for the wireless network (like wrong encryption for the password). In this case the same crash appears. If the connection is configured correctly it is working just fine.
So like stated before, the workaround is to configure everything correctly (not only user and password, but everything else as well) and then connecting. More precisely: With the wrong configuration for the password encryption, I got the dialogue for the password. If I filled it with the option to save it for all users or never the dialogue kept appearing without crashing (but obviously never connected). If I used the storing of the password just for this user, it produced the crash. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1604333 Title: nm-applet crashes when connecting to a wireless network, around password prompt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager-applet/+bug/1604333/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
