Description Ivan S 2018-01-26 16:52:25 UTC

Whenever I try to use the network applet to connect to a network, the network list disappears and it does not connect. Later it might say "no agents found for that request."
This is not a user config issue (happens accross users). It's also not in Network Manager issue as connecting via NMCLI works most of the time.

Using NetworkManager 1.8.4. Occurs on both WPA2-PSK and WPA2-EAP routers

Comment 2 Ivan S 2018-01-26 18:53:48 UTC

WiFi driver is iwlwifi

Does it occur with nmcli?

Comment 4 Ivan S 2018-01-26 20:51:22 UTC

No, as I said, this issue does not occur when using NMCLI.
When I connect with NMCLI I am asked to enter the username and/or password to the network as normal, and it usually connects properly. If it fails, it does not give the same error as is given in the journal for NetworkManager when connecting using the plasma-nm applet.

Similar issues happen on a live version of KDE neon with the same hardware.

Comment 6 Ivan S 2018-01-29 23:16:13 UTC

No longer having this issue.
