Unable to connect to WIFI networks

Hi!

I am using XFCE and network manager.

I can see WIFI networks but can not connect to them. The network applet do not prompt me for password.
I tried to reinstall networkmanaget, network-manager-applet, gnome-keyring. None of them worked. The strange is, connecting to WIFI networks used to work, it went wrong in the last few days. Hard to tell when, because the already configured networks works fine. I am also unable to edit the settings of the new networks from the network manager applet, it is greyed out. I also verified that both gnome-keyring and network-manager runs.

The log from the network manager:

okt 10 17:23:45 xazlaptop NetworkManager[530]: <info>  (wlp5s0): Activation: starting connection 'Horvath_WIFI' (2e79b7a6-fa4d-4efd-aa17-945e042ca181)

okt 10 17:24:10 xazlaptop NetworkManager[530]: <info>  (wlp5s0): device state change: failed -> disconnected (reason 'none') [120 30 0]

Any idea?

Thanks,
Gabor

Re: Unable to connect to WIFI networks

From xfce4 panel menu > networkconnections > click on your wifi name > edit your wifi connection > edit wifi security > enter the wifi passwd , does not work?
It did not prompt me for a password either.
