Unable to connect tho WiFi (on nexus 5)

[olga.bio]

Hi everyone,

I flashed Ubuntu on a nexus 5 yesterday, without any apparent issues. But once booted up the phone is unable to connect to WiFi. I do see the networks and when clicking on my network I am prompted to enter the password. But after doing it, no connection is established and after a minute or two I am prompted to enter the password again and so on. I have checked the pw (and have other people check it), so that is not the root of the issue. Flashing the image from a different channel (stable, dev, rc) did not help either.
Additionally in the software licences tab in the settings there is "License can not be shown" message when I look at the network manager. Is there any solution to it? Are there any logs where I can see more details?

P.S. I can no longer activate the developer mode after I have flashed the dev image, even when I go back to stable.

Thanks in advance!

@olga-bio The logs may be into the /home/phablet/.cache/upstart folder

@saveurlinux thanks for the help. Now I have found a network log, but there is no immediate red flag jumping at me apart from
(process:3323): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: Error releasing name com.canonical.indicator.network: Connection closed
which might have resulted from me closing the second password prompt after trying to log onto the WiFi once.
P.S. Yepp, there is no sim card in the phone as of now.

Well that is embarrassing... It seems that the issue is not on UB side, as the issue persists after reverting to Android. Sorry for the fuss.
Though not technically solved, it is best to delete the topic then?

Hi @olga-bio
No need to delete the topic, just mark it solved so people looking for such issue think about checking the hardware.

You can mark it using the cog wheel menu in the top of the page:

@applee Thanks & done

Is it your wifi router ?
Isn't it filtering devices by MAC address ?

I have a N5 and no problem to connect on WIFI on my router, but as i make my router filtering MAC adresses on WIFI, i must add any new device MAC to make it work.

@keneda not in my case. The router itself was malfunctioning. After we have got a replacement everything works fine on both Android and Ubuntu
