I am faced with a now router (using Kubuntu 22.04) and get the message: Wireless Interface (wlo1) "No secrets were provided " And its asking repetitive for the password, which is definitely correct since windows is connecting with it immediately.

Some users (searched online) say its the KDE wallet, but I doubt it, as it would connect at least one time then, and a Lubuntu 22.04 live stick also doesn’t connect. Any solution known?


here is is journalctl

May you can share the output from `journalctl -f` while you trying to connecting to your wlan?

could you check if your kernel has a soft block for your wlan? with `sudo rfkill list`

Have you tried connecting via the command line? `nmcli d wifi connect [SSID] password [Your password]` ?

I just did ... and the Wi-Fi password dialog pops up asking for the password :) I am now with the phone hotspot

Could you tried it with wpa_supplicant via command line: `echo -e "network={\nssid="TP-Link_6C21"\npsk="Your wlan password"\n}" > ~/wlan.conf ` and then `wpa_supplicant -i wlo1 -c ~/wlan.conf`

Its the same problem. Before your post I found `nmcli con modify TP-Link_6C21 802-1x.private-key-password-flags 4` `nmcli con show TP-Link_6C21 | grep "802-1x.private-key-password-flags` but after first line »Error: Failed to modify connection 'TP-Link_6C21': 802-1x.eap: property is missing« Still the same problem.

Please edit those results into your question.

The problem is solved, but without any changes to the system. The router has two SSIDs, only one was activated (it belongs to the landlord). (The second has by default the appendix _5G ) After enabling it and change the password Kubuntu accepted it, also other live systems (debian, ubuntu).

Does `iwlist scan` show both SSIDs?
Asklep avatar

No "lo Interface doesn't support scanning ..... Encryption key:on ESSID:"TP-Link_6C21_5G" Tehn the Bit Rates, and some IE unknown: numbers

@Raffles _Does iwlist scan show both SSIDs?_ What does it say to you?
Raffles avatar

It should show all SSIDs that are being transmitted. Here is the [man page](https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/cs/man8/iwlist.8.html) for `iwlist`.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
