Since I upgraded to 15.04 I can't connect to our office wired network anymore since I can't press connect in the authentication dialog.

  • ha! Could you please killall nm-applet, start nm-applet from a terminal and report the output you get when reproducing. There is bound to be an error. – Rinzwind Apr 28 '15 at 12:18
  • I got this in the terminal ** (nm-connection-editor:5708): WARNING **: Invalid setting 802.1x Security: Invalid 802.1x security I then removed 802.1x security and added it back and this time I could save the password in the settings. That got it working. So solved for now but in a different way. I will reopen if I get the issue back – hiflyer Apr 28 '15 at 12:45

Came across this issue as well on 15.04. Same symptoms and errors as OP but killing/re-starting the nm-applet wouldn't fix anything.

The solution for me was to edit the configuration file for my network interface located at

/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Wired\ connection\ 1

I added the relevant parts of my 802.1x settings in the file and it allowed me to connect. So, something like this:

[802-1x]
eap=peap;
identity=username
phase2-auth=mschapv2

To try to solve my issue I removed the 802.1x security in the connection settings. When I then added it back I was able to save the password in the settings. That got it working.
