NetworkManager sits on an infinite loop, asking for password

SuperKomputerKid · 2014-06-20 21:43:20

Hello everybody. I am currently trying to setup network manager with the GNOME Desktop Environment. However I keep having a weird problem where networkmanager sits on an infinite loop, asking for the password, and is not connecting to the network. I have followed the guide on the ArchWiki as seen here I followed all the steps to configure networkmanager, and I even turned on seahorse for storing the key, which is what apparently stops NetworkManager from asking for the password over and over, in an infinite loop. I don't care to use wicd as I am using the GNOME desktop, and would like to use the Integrated NetworkManager. Any ideas on how to get this working?

Right now I am using netctl, but this is my take with me computer so I have a lot of networks I have to connect to...

Run in a terminal

sudo journalctl -f

and then try to connect via Network Manager, and post what it prints out.

Have you tried stopping netctl service? If not, do it and then try to connect to your wifi again. If it does, disable netctl service

azaroma, thank you for trying to help, but this is a year old thread. Due to the lack of replies or new content from SuperKomputerKid, I suspect they have either fixed the problem or don't care about it any more.
