I think I saw this bug on my laptop the other day. I did something like this.
1. Turn it on, log in 2. Look at the wireless list 3. Ah, there's no wifi here, I'll tether. Turn on the AP on my phone. 4. Wait for it to appear in NM so I can connect to it (or it auto connects if I've seen it before) I waited about 5 minutes and the AP was never seen. Ended up restarting NM (sudo systemctl restart network-manager) and the AP was then seen and associated with. I didn't test comment #3's solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1445134 Title: Network manager never scanning for new access points To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1445134/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
