NT Man,

When you save the PIN in the connection editor, can you then get back to the PIN code in the gnome keyring? You can verify this by going under System -> Preferences -> Passwords and Encryption Keys. Thanks!

I couldn't find my PIN in gnome keyring. What is wrong?

[Uwe Fechner (ufechner)]

Hello,
same problem here, after updating from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10.
I am asked for the pin code now every time, I boot the computer.
This was not needed before the update.

The pin code is not stored in the gnome keyring.

Additional info:
This problem seams to appear only, if the "autoconnect" field is disabled in the connection manager.
But this problem did not exist with ubuntu 10.04.
I could have the autoconnection of the UMTS modem disabled, and was not asked for the pin at boot time.
I am using a dell latitude e6400 computer with builtin UMTS modem.

Shall I post any log files?

The same problem here after upgrade to maverick on a lenovo x200. After every reboot a window comes up asking for the pin-code: The mobile broadband device 'Erricson F3507g' requires a SIM PIN Code before it can be used'.

In the gnome keyring there are two entries one for the pin and one for the puk code with the lines:

Network secret for Yesss/gsm/password

(Yess is the provier)

Very interesting thing. password is stored and successfuly used, but network manager continued request the password, when I connect modem.

Bounce!

I am having the same problem on an 'Acer Aspire One 532h' with a Huawei GSM Modem built in.
Using Ubuntu 11.04 and Network-Manager v0.8.4.

The bug occurs when checking the box to use the setting for all users and when i uncheck the box and store the pin in the gnome-keyring, too.

It happens also when Auto-Connect is turned off.
And when turned on it won't auto-connect after entering the pin.

Same problem: 11.04 on Thinkpad X220.

[Gregor Riepl (onitake)]

This bug still occurs in 11.10.
Looks to me like the dialog after login is unrelated to the per-connection setting in the keychain. nm doesn't know the PIN will be sent when a connection is set up, so it displays the dialog like it does for any USB WWAN modem.
Someone has to convince network-manager otherwise!

[Stephan Henningsen (zta77)]

Same problem on 11.10 on ThinkPad X220.

Maybe this doesn't have anything to do with the keyring; I can change the PIN code using the Network Manager and it gets correctly stored in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/MyMobileBroadbandProfile but this particular parameter appears to be ignored when read.

These two seem to be duplicates of this bug (and are referring each other as duplicates too) and are not yet listed as duplicates of this bug:
