I am having trouble connecting to a wep encrypted network. After I try to connect to a network I enter my password then it just hangs and say "waiting for authorization".

Can you determine if any errors are printed into ~/.xsession-errors or the NetworkManager log which might indicate why this occurs?

NetworkManager logs into /var/log/NetworkManager.log on openSUSE I believe (not sure about the others)

I don't see anything useful in ~/.xsession-errors. I use fedora. I found out from this it is located here.

Code: Select all

/var/log/messages

http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/Debugging

This contains ALL of the fedora system logs it looks like. It has 16K lines just from Jan 1.

Can you explain what you wanna see? I did this and it contains 10k lines about network

Code: Select all

grep -i network /var/log/messages | wc -l

I did this and it contains 610 lines about network.

Code: Select all

grep -i network /var/log/messages | grep -i "error\|failed" | wc -l

I'm looking for any debugging/warning/error messages from NetworkManager.

The hanging in "waiting for authorization" problem was fixed more than two months ago. This indicates you are using an old version of Plasma NM, please upgrade since several other bugs have been fixed in the last months. If you use (K)Ubuntu then you really need to upgrade because they use a more than seven months old version of Plasma NM.

I use fedora. I have upgraded everything.

Upgraded using which packages? There are more than one version of Plasma NM in Fedora's repositories. Please check the version in the tab called "Other" in Plasma NM configuration dialog.

Anyway, systemd is not starting NetworkManager properly, without NetworkManager Plasma NM will not work.
