Problem Description
I recently installed Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS and I cannot connect to my home WiFi internet connection. Every time I click on my home's WiFi connection, it asks for the password, and after 20 seconds, it shows the same pop-up window, asking for password again and again. The title of the pop-up window is "Authentication required". After I close that window, the connection is no longer clickable. It is visible, but I cannot click on it to connect to it.
This is the pop-up window I get!
Home WiFi settings:
WiFi 2.4 GHz
Security: WPA2
Encryption: AES
My laptop:
OS Name: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
OS Type: 64-bit
GNOME Version: 42.5
Windowing System: X11
Memory: 8.0 GiB
Important notes
- I have already tried the solution to disable random MAC addressing by adding the following lines to the bottom of the /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf file:
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
- I can connect to my phone's hot spot WiFi and to other WiFis from other locations (bars, restaurants, etc.).
- I switched the password, just to refresh things, and all the other devices work without issues, but this laptop still doesn't.
- Output of
sudo lshw -c network
