Description Henrik Gebauer 2022-07-20 09:38:39 UTC

SUMMARY
I have two users set up at my laptop. Both are allowed to connect to the network, i.e. after a reboot I can login with either user account and the wi-fi connection automatically sets up. But after a stand-by only the user who was logged in before can see the network connection.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. reboot the computer
2. login as user A
3. go to stand-by
4. turn the computer on again
5. login as user B

OBSERVED RESULT-
The applet shows that it is trying to connect to the network and that it cannot connect to the network  (rotating animation on the icon, and finally a question mark).
error message: "private connection already active on the device: uid 1001 has no permission to perform this operation"
the network connection is active (I can load web pages).
ifconfig shows the wifi network (with a lot of dropped packages)
When I login as user A and then again as user B, the applet shows the network connection.

EXPECTED RESULT
no error

Sorry we were not able to get to this yet! Can you see if the issue still happens in Plasma 6.3.5 or later, and also presumably newer versions of the packages for the networking stack? Thanks a lot!

I am currently using Plasma 6.3.4 and this issue still happens but changed somewhat.

After the login and the message  "private connection already active on the device: uid 1001 has no permission to perform this operation" about one minute later the Network connection is shown as active.
