From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Issue with Network Manager (lemmy.ml)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

19 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Hello! I use an Arch Linux distro with KDE on an ASUS X570 board that has built-in wifi. The issue is that I can't for the life of me get the wifi to work without asking me for the wifi password what feels like every hour. The hardware is active, the software is active, Network Manager is active, the wifi profile is fine, the SSID is fine, the security type is set properly, the password is saved and set to use for all users. I've tried restarting Network Manager, installing Network Manager with iwd backend, updating my system, restarting my system, and using nmtui to force home wifi.

Related to kwallet if it's installed.

I have noticed other people with kwallet issues, but that only affects me when I restart my system (asks for password). Other than that, I can't find a way to edit or disable kwallet without installing a 2-star app on the KDE Discover store that might not work and is reviewed as extremely annoying.

Try installing kwallet-pam. It will remember your secrets through PAM when you log in. Arch does not have kwallet-pam installed by default unless you install via plasma-meta package.

If you use Chromium, you will not be asked for creating a password store as well so that is another bonus for kwallet-pam.

I do indeed have plasma-meta.
