[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1092578: Bug#1092578: Bug#1092578: network-manager: GUI closes after selecting 802.1x user password (.p12) file and doesn't save the settings

[Lukáš Šišmiš]

Hi Michael,


Here is the screenshot.

Just for the record, the certificates are valid and after fighting with 
it I was able to kind of connect to the network but it requires some 
luck. The issue is present with whatever USB-C Ethernet adapter.

The whole GUI window contains multiple errors so:

1) Upon opening the window what surprised me that it requires User 
certificate - when it should not - or at least it should present an 
option to skip it. In e.g. new Ubuntu 22.04+ this option is not present.

2) With the settings open in terminal on verbose, each character typed 
in the "Identity" produces "Invalid setting Security: invalid EAP-TLS CA 
certificate: no certificate specified" OR "Invalid setting Security: 
invalid EAP-TLS private-key: no file selected" warning - I guess it 
checks all the conditions but the print outs make it a bit to convoluted 
- it is a debug message only but still.

3) User certificate file picker window let's you pick the file but it 
will complain with a popup saying "The folder contents could not be 
displayed. The operation was cancelled". The same for CA certificate and 
Private key (if you are lucky). Additionally, in the terminal it shows:

4) After the pop-up, the picked file can be seen but is in red. I would 
expect it to be gray.

5) Here is the main challenge - picking the private key leads to 
segfault as seen from the logs. That's when the window closes.

6) I have found some way around it - sometimes if I select "Always stay 
on the top" - it doesn't segfault and it continues. But still all file 
pickers are red and even with all the fields entered, I cannot click the 
"Apply" button. But in some rare occasions I was able to. And then it 
sometimes worked and sometimes it did not.


Here is the output from the terminal:
