Can't connect to WiFi with “Connection activation failed” error after upgrade from 14.04 -> 15.04

I recently upgraded from 14.04 to 14.10 to 15.04 in succession. I lost internet capabilities each time, thanks to my having to use a Realtek WiFi dongle.
I was able to resolve those issues both times, but I now have this whenever I try to connect to a network by clicking on the option under the Network Manager applet:
I can connect when manually adding the network, but clicking on an option in the applet gives me the above error message.
I've tried reinstalling network-manager, network-manager-gnome, and wpasupplicant, but that didn't help.
EDIT: Something of note, I get a popup whenever I get to the login screen after rebooting asking me to put in the network password.
This makes me think there's something messed up in something that's creating the configuration files for the network, since it isn't saving the password.
However, I don't know what that would be.
EDIT 2: Another thing of note, if I try to connect to a network I've never connected to before, it just closes the menu and nothing happens the first time. However, if I click after that, it brings up the error.

Did you simply reinstall or purge? I suspect a bad setting resides somewhere in /etc/NetworkManager. You might try sudo apt-get purge; reboot; sudo apt-get install.

Had the exact same problem on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Solved by this answer in a post regarding Ubuntu 14.04.
Problem seems to be in the password prompt/popup. Setting the password in the connection details skipped the password prompt and the connection just worked.

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! A link to a potential solution is always welcome, but please add context around the link so your fellow users will have some idea what it is and why it's there. Always quote the most relevant part of an important link, in case the target site is unreachable or goes permanently offline. Take into account that being barely more than a link to an external site is a possible reason as to Why and how are some answers deleted?.

Had the exact same problem on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Solved by this answer in a post regarding Ubuntu 14.04.
Problem seems to be in the password prompt/popup. Setting the password in the connection details skipped the password prompt and the connection just worked.

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! A link to a potential solution is always welcome, but please add context around the link so your fellow users will have some idea what it is and why it's there. Always quote the most relevant part of an important link, in case the target site is unreachable or goes permanently offline. Take into account that being barely more than a link to an external site is a possible reason as to Why and how are some answers deleted?.

Did you simply reinstall or purge? I suspect a bad setting resides somewhere in /etc/NetworkManager. You might try sudo apt-get purge; reboot; sudo apt-get install.

@chili555 I downloaded the packages via
sudo apt-get -d --reinstall network-manager network-manager-gnome wpasupplicant, then ransudo apt-get purge network-manager network-manager-gnome wpasupplicantthensudo apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome wpasupplicant.– RPi Awesomeness

Please see: bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=193839 "The fix for me was going into the /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf file and removing the dhcp=dhcpcd line. "

@chili555 There isn't any such line in my file. Tried adding it and
sudo service network-manager restart-ing, no change.– RPi Awesomeness
