Description Patrick Silva 2018-04-12 21:28:07 UTC

reproducible on neon dev unstable

connect to a wireless network
click wireless icon in system tray
uncheck wireless checkbox on top (now your connection is offline)
check the same checkbox
your wi-fi is online again but the checkbox remains unchecked

Bug persists in plasma 5.13.4, see the screencast recorded on neon dev unstable.
I click the checkbox on top, my wi-fi adapter is disabled and no wi-fi network is available anymore, as expected.
When I click the checkbox again, the wi-fi adapter is re-enabled and all wi-fi connections are listed, as expected. However the checkbox remains unchecked.

I still cannot reproduce this. Can you run "dbus-monitor --system" in a terminal and reproduce the issue and then attach here output from there?

Comment 5 Jan Grulich 2018-08-06 12:39:44 UTC

Did you enable wireless after you disabled it? In the log I see twice it has been disabled, but not enabled. Either you didn't enable it or NM doesn't correctly propagate this change which would explain your problem.

Comment 6 Patrick Silva 2018-08-06 12:44:28 UTC

I followed exactly the same steps shown in my screencast.

Comment 7 Jan Grulich 2018-08-07 10:15:07 UTC

What is your NetworkManager version? I think that the problem is in NetworkManager given the information it sends us over DBus.

Comment 8 Patrick Silva 2018-08-08 13:24:02 UTC

network manager 1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 on neon dev unstable.

Comment 9 Jan Grulich 2018-08-08 13:25:56 UTC

Ok, a bit old NM version. I would suggest try with latest one and report this bug to NM if you verify it's still reproducible.

Comment 10 Patrick Silva 2018-08-08 15:59:42 UTC

Bug is reproducible on OpenSuse krypton running network manager 1.10.10-2.1.

Same situation, all we get from NM is that wireless is disabled. Report your issue to NetworkManager please.
