Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
When attempting to connect to a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network), after providing credentials in NetworkManager's dialog box and pressing the Enter key, the dialog box remained open and nothing happened. This was caused by the Connect button not being selected in the dialog box because it was not marked as default in the code. However, clicking the Connect button with the mouse worked as expected, and the wireless connection could be established. This update ensures the Connect button is selected as the default button, enabling quick and intuitive WLAN connections.
Description of problem:
In RHEL6.0 Workstation, when entering the WLAN network credentials in the mask (see attached screenshot) the "Connect" button is not configured as the default button so that you cannot just hit "Enter" after entering the network key.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-gnome-0.8.1-5.el6_0.1.x86_64
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. activate laptop's WLAN
2. click NetworkManager icon and click to connect to encrypted WLAN
3. said window comes up, enter WLAN key and hit "Enter"
Actual results:
Nothing happens.
Expected results:
Should connect to WLAN.
Additional info:
The fix here (as 70ae3f5f54219e9876133d87069e126b63e3cc8a upstream on the NMA_0_8 branch) is to make sure that all GtkEntries in src/wireless-security items have the property for "activates-default" be TRUE. It'll take a bit of work to backport since upstream now uses GtkBuilder instead of glade but is not hard to do.
