Title:
[21.04] Uncooperative WiFi manager on TTY7 for proper end user
integration
Status in Ubuntu MATE:
New
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Desc.:
Using 21.04-latest on a Dell XPS 13" laptop and working on TTY7, the wifi
manager becomes uncooperative after, it seems, it gets tied up to 2 wifi
profiles.
Recreation steps:
1. Install 21.04-latest + full patch it using your home LAN WiFi AP;
2. Login newly installed system + test Internet = it works fine;
3. Take same laptop and go to a hotel(for example): manually create a new
profile for the new WiFi network from TTY7, login "hotel" wifi network profile
+ test Internet = it works fine;
4. Physically move back to where your "home" LAN WiFi profile is and boot
system:
Problem now happens::
1. Internet doesn't work off WiFi;
2. Click on the "Wi-Fi Network" icon at the top hand right side of the screen
-> "no network devices available";
3. Select "Edit connections" -> there will be your 2 profiles there: "home"
and "hotel", delete "hotel" -> OK;
4. "no network devices available" still shows under "Wi-Fi Network" at the
top.
MY USER EXPECTATIONS: Get a new list of close by AP and/or automatically
reconnect to "profile 1: home".
NOTA: Both profiles are set to priority 0 and also all set to "all uses may
connect to this network". Could this be the problem?
Solution:
Reboot system.
After reboot. TTY7 will have defaulted back to the "home" WiFi profile and
Internet will work at the first user attempt.

PS: I have been having this problem from way before hirsute.
