Description of problem: KDE asks for a password that already has. This occurs only at startup of KDE. When I press cancel, it connects to wifi correctly Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Login to KDE. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to KDE 2. KDE asks for wifi password. Press cancel 3. KDE connects to wifi correctly Actual results: KDE startup delayed, KDE shows an annoying error message, and KDE wifi connection delayed Expected results: KDE connects correctly and automatically to wifi at startup. Additional info: This happens to me in two computers with Fedora 20, one fresh installed and the other, upgraded from Fedora 19. I think this error only occurs in wifi which made the new installation or upgrade. (different in the two computers)
I have had this error in another wifi that did the upgrade from Fedora 19. Although the last reboot itself that is connected directly (without updating)
Asking for a password is what NetworkManager does when the connection failed, so you get a chance to input a new password if it changed.
Actually the problem here is different, NM tries to activate a connection which has stored secrets in KWallet, but when KWallet is not ready, NM won't get the required password and asks for a new one. I don't know whether we can do something with this problem. To solve this we would need to start KWallet a little bit earlier.
I have deactivated KWallet and now it connects automatically.
Is there any other way to deal with this than to disable kwallet? It's very annoying ...
After I had disabled KWallet, I enabled it, and now it works correctly. I don't know why. It also seemed to me that with KWallet disabled, the kde startup is much faster.
Sorry for this annoying issue, I'll try to fix it after the New Year. As workaround you can store your password into NetworkManager, just check "All users may connect to this network" in the configuration for your wireless connection.

It connects automatically in all wifi connections which I tested, but one is making that KDE is taking too long to finish startup.
Now it works well with the same wifi
kde-plasma-nm-0.9.3.2-3.fc20 has been pushed to the Fedora 20 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
Forgive the inconvenience, but sometimes recently I experimented similar symptoms that before fixing this bug. This time occurs not only at startup but also happens when my wifi connection is disconnected for another bug ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1088627 ) But this time when I press the password dialog and I press cancel, the wifi doesn't automatically connect, it connects to another wifi point and when I try to connect to previous acces point, then it connects correctly. But, I think that there are very similar bugs, so I reopen this.
And that's not all: kwallet sometimes really forgets some wifi passwords, and I have to put them again. ¬¬
The thing what I say in the last comment it seems like other different bug, and I opened a new bug for it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1132595
KDE now doesn't ask for pasword since a few days. Probably because this bug neither occurs me now: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1088627 So, I close this bug again.
