[init] No password prompt and stuck when connecting to Wi-Fi

[Yao Wei]

Internal reference: NANTOU-318

When selecting Wi-Fi for connection, the UI would stuck and does not ask for password.

Could you provide the /var/log/installer/ubuntu_init.log* files?
Did you connect the network-manager plug?

[Yao Wei (medicalwei)]

1. That also happens when network-manager plug is connected.
2. I will provide the log tomorrow, since I don't have testing system at hand atm

[Matthew Hagemann (matt-hagemann)]

Thank you for the report, I have created a task to fix this on gh
https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-provision/issues/711

[Yao Wei (medicalwei)]

I checked /var/log/installer but there's no ubuntu_init.log* file.

[Dennis Loose (dloose)]

Thanks for checking - I'm having a closer look now. It seems like there's still a permission issue when creating the log file. I'll tackle this one first and then see if I can reproduce the network manager issue.

Opened an internal issue for the log file issue on github https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-provision/issues/716

The logs should still be available through the journal though. Could you provide a complete journal for the original wifi issue? The file you attached above doesn't contain any events from the GDM session.

I was able to reproduce the issue myself now. Relevant part of the journal:

Update: the issue seems to be that we're not launching gnome-keyring-daemon like gnome-initial-setup does.

This should fix it by unlocking the login keyring in provd: https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-provision/pull/724
