Bug ID: 413696
Summary: Existing network connection unnecessarily disconnects
and reconnects after login
Product: plasma-nm
Version: 5.17.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
Reporter: dianluji...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have a Ethernet network connection with auto connect enabled and "Available
to all users" checked, i.e., it's part of
`/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections`, which means NetworkManager will
automatically connect to the network before login from display manager (SDDM in
my case). It works well, I can confirm my PC is online before login. However,
right after login plasma-nm disconnects from it and reconnects right after
that, I can even see the notification of connection status changed. This is
obviously redundant and leads to bad UX, please fix it, thanks.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a network connection from plasma-nm GUI, check "Available to all
users", and make sure NetworkManager.service is enabled.
2. Reboot
3. When reaching DM greeting, ping from another PC or router to make sure it's
online.
4. Login as usual
OBSERVED RESULT
The connected network disconnects and reconnects, receiving notification from
plasma-nm
EXPECTED RESULT
The previous connection keeps alive
