I am trying to connect to eduroam from Ubuntu, and it asks me for certificates. I asked my college tech support and the answer I got was "I don't know anything about Linux or Ubuntu, all our machines are windows or macs". I asked one of the lecturers and he said that there is no certificate needed.

How can I fix it?

Not sure if it's the correct way but it works fine for me.

Open the configuration file which can be found at /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/

Open terminal and use command

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/eduroam

Look for and remove

system-ca-cert=true

and change

password-flags=1

to

password=YourPassword

I also had this problem and I followed Gman's fix, which almost worked for me.

In my case the client automatically edited a '-' into the middle of my username.

identity = user-name@student.university.com

I removed the '-' and was good to go.
