Kubuntu 16.10 - wifi stuck on 'waiting for authorization'

It used to work but I guess one of the updates broke it. I can connect to the wifi on my phone and other OS's. Unsure of what would cause this. I have tried deleting the profile for each connection and re-entering passwords but nothing. IF I remove passwords for the connections it will work.

Recently I had a similar problem. I had disabled WMM on the router and this caused the problem. There was some info about it indmesg. Try to sign into the network and then checkdmesgfor any new info. If you don't find any useful info, please post the info described here: askubuntu.com/questions/425155/… thanks!

Try this if you have network-manager enabled :
sudo nmcli dev wifi
to find your wifi ssid and
sudo nmcli dev wifi connect <your ssid> password <your pass>
Looks like network-manager is waiting for root permission.

It worked! Thanks, although the only bad thing is that, in your bash history the wifi password, will remain visible.
