is this during the installation of the live image? if so would be an issue of the distro, as they are curating the installation procedure Setting status, since we're waiting on a reply (In reply to Marco Martin from comment #1) > is this during the installation of the live image? > > if so would be an issue of the distro, as they are curating the installation > procedure This is aarch64. A flashed ssd for a Rpi 4 using the Fedora Rawhide 44 KDE image. Upon first boot plasma setup starts asking for user name and so on. On the screen where it asks for a network connection, I selected my wifi router and entered the password. A check mark then shows confirming connection. When plasma setup is complete it then restarts the system. I can log in using the account I just created but it didnt save or remember the network connection I had already made during plasma setup. I then need to reconnect to my wifi router and it then works as expected. Hope this helps. > Its like it didn't save my network connection settings.
Did it? Or didn't it?
IIRC plasma-setup relies on the assumption that network credentials are now stored globally, rather than per-user in KWallet (which is a Plasma 6.6 change). Look in /var/lib/NetworkManager/ and see if the network credentials are there.

Thus, after reboot I had to select my wifi and enter my password again and it works as expected. So, when plasma setup asks for network credentials, select wifi, enter password, I see a check noting the good connection. It did not remember this info after the initial re boot. It remembered the login info fine. When I can ill re-flash another image for the Rpi 4 and run the setup again. Ill see if I can look at Network Manager after the initial setup before the reboot. The network credentials should be under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ and likely named $SSID.nmconnection If you do run another install, pasting the contents (before manually re-connecting it) of that here would be helpful (just remove your network password from the pasted output).
