Network Manager: EAP/TLS configuration dialog broken

[Daniel Kulesz]

I am trying to connect to a WPA2-Enterprise Network with EAP/TLS using Network Manager in Ubuntu 9.04/x86_64. Unfortunately the GUI seems to be terribly broken: although I have entered all required information (username, supplied certificates etc.) in all available fields, I am not able to hit the connect button - it's always grayed out.

Even if there could be some "user fault" reason for this behavior (maybe the PEM file provided is not valid?), this is way beyond anything close to good usability.

Please note: since this seems to be a GUI problem, I have not attached any outputs of the debugging wiki page (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingNetworkManager) I've seen being questioned in most other bug reports related to Network Manager.

I am having the same problem, I am also on 9.04/x86_64.

See attached screenshot.

It is still the same problem at Ubuntu 9.10/x86_64.

No one will solve this problem?
More than a half year went away.

It is truly ridiculous. I can't connect since the button is grayed out. No sign of the error or what it could be. Why is it grayed out? What is the gui waiting on? Is it checking the validity of the certificate? If so, please do tell the user. Wouldn't it be better to have it always save the connection even with errors?

I am running 9.10 32bit.

That bug still exists with Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 on 64 bis OS.

Yes. I just contacted one of the core members of the BugSquad Team about this issue. Not sure if it's the right way in the process, but it's really sad this bugs gets re-confirmed with every new Ubuntu Release and nobody seems to take any actions.
