Networkmanager issues after last current updates

Melke · 02-12-2017, 03:02 AM

Hi,

I am not sure of my problem has to do with the latest updates, but I've noticed that networkmanager is not saving any wifi connections anymore. I need connect again every login. I'm using XFCE.

Just to be sure that it wasn't a user issue I created a second user and it has the same issue.

Has anybody had similar issues lately?

Have you checked your .new files to see if there were any changes that need to be implemented?

Code:

slackpkg new-config

Yeah I did, even reinstalled my system to test, Same issue. I just reverted to the 14.2 Packages. It seems to work with the old packages.

Are there logfiles one can look at for networkmanager?

I don't use Network Manager, but I believe it just logs everything to the syslog. The following command might provide some insight:

Code:

grep -i networkmanager /var/log/syslog

not much to see in the log I'm afraid

Code:
