Annoying password when trying to connect to the Internet

[Ymurti]

Hi ,
I don't really know what happened here. It seems that you are not connect to Internet via your wireless , am I right ?

You are connect to Internet via ... what ? mobile 3G ? Usb adapter ? What ?

As for the annoying password prompt , I was pretty sure that seahorse will fix that (seahorse is the keyring thing , we tried earlier)

You have to many connections there (in NetWorkManager) ok , this is not bad , but I don't know if you managed to change something , or install something to configure those connections.

I can see something in /opt/ folder regarding to 3G Mobile , and this killall pppd , it seems like a program who wants to kill the Point-to-Point protocol daemon that is already started for some reason. Listed on modules

ppp_deflate
ppp_async

what do you have inside /etc/modules ?

cat /etc/modules

Thanks

Dear NikTh,

I am connected via mobile 3G.

yajnamurti@yajnamurti-laptop:~$ cat /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.

Hi ,
Do you want to reinstall network-manager and see if this solve your problem ?

sudo apt-get install --reinstall network-manager

Your connection must be listed.

Or / And
try to restart network-manager manually ..

sudo service network-manager restart

If you get your connection listed , you can tick the box "Available to all users" and maybe this solve your problem.

Thanks

Hi ,

lets fix your sources.list

Apply below commands with order

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.old
sudo wget "http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=se5C5qCA" -O /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo mv  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ /etc/apt/sources.list.d.old/
sudo mkdir /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I assume you are in INDIA , so I made the sources.list with INDIA SERVER.
Thanks
