Public bug reported: This bug was reported upstream: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/1812
And it got fixed with https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/merge_requests/2295 --------------------------- SRU Justification: [ Impact ] * When trying to connect to a wifi network, if one does cancel the credential popup, the network is gets an internal in-memory flag preventing its auto reconnection. If then the user succeeds to connect to it, this flag is not removed. As a result, if the user disable and re-enables wifi, the network will not reconnect automatically. * With the above, the reconnection is fixed. [ Fix ] * Whenever the connection succeeds, the autoconnect blocker flag must be removed and reset correctly. [ Test Plan ] * Test network-manager without and with this fix: 1. Forget all wifi networks 2. Click on one on the gnome menubar 3. Cancel the popup without entering credentials 4. Check NM's logs to see if an autoconnection is attempted. No autoconnection should be attempted at this point. 5. Click on this same network again, connect successfully. 6. Disable and re-enable wifi. 7. See if an automatic reconnection occurs. [ Where problems could occur ] * Given the nature of the fix (it's one line), I don't see how anything could go wrong here, given we properly run the test plan. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2127925 Title: "policy: auto-activating connection" never occurs on adapter restart for networks where user entered incorrect password before correct password Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This bug was reported upstream: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/1812 And it got fixed with https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/merge_requests/2295 --------------------------- SRU Justification: [ Impact ] * When trying to connect to a wifi network, if one does cancel the credential popup, the network is gets an internal in-memory flag preventing its auto reconnection.
