Ubuntu keeps asking for Wifi password

Question

I've recently installed the latest version of Ubuntu (64 bit), alongside my Windows 8 dual booted machine. The problem I'm having is trying to connect to my school network, the school uses a username and password system, so upon entering them the top right corner icon attempts to connect to to the network, but after some amount of time either disconnects, or tells me to enter the details again.

On another note, my computer appears to work fine wireless wise when I'm at home (Which only requires password entry and not a username to get on the network). Also, I know this problem has nothing to do with my schools internet because I'm using it at this moment, on Windows 8.

I've tried suggestions from these links, all to no avail:

Ubuntu 14.04 : My computer sees the wireless network, but won't connect to it, keeps asking for the WPA password

Constantly asked for WiFi password and CA certificate

Solution

Had a similar issue. In case it is helpful for anyone, for me it was just a matter of changing from TLS to PEAP under the network settings.

Our school login is based on each student, so everyone password and username our different. And as for your second suggestion, I've tried that already :(

Bummer. I got nothing then. Anyone else?

@user20842454566 This happens to me when the campus network here is over saturated and the access point fails to handle all the connections (and we have individual student logins via 802.11x) - is it possible that's what's going on? (Usually clears up for me within 30 minutes)

Don't think so because my home wifi is having this problem as well now. And hey the school wifi works fine on windows.
