Once in a while, a dialog box appears asking me to "Please provide a password below". After some investigation, I'm pretty sure it comes from the network manager applet when it fails to connect to my wired network. There are two problems here: - It doesn't say who is asking and why (all I see is "KDE Daemon") - It doesn't specify which password (with no context, I'd think it's for sudo or kwallet) The actual problem seemed to be some transient problem with my wired network adapter. When I unplugged it and plugged it back, everything started working. So ideally, network manager should just show a notification saying "failed to connect". Reproducible: Sometimes

I just got a dialog box with the following prompt: "Please provide the password for activating connection 'connection'" It still doesn't tell me much :-/ I don't have any wifi or wired connections named 'connection', so I still don't know what password I'm being asked for (or why).
Ok, I've confirmed that the prompt shows up after I try to activate my wired connection - but I honestly have no idea what password I'm supposed to enter...
