From what I understand, this bug is about the laptop not resuming from hibernate but booting. Mine boots just fine from following the instructions by Fedora.

I use openbox and I have nm-applet (which controls NetworkManager using a graphical interface from a system tray). The program is run using nm-applet but once on, it still keeps running. What happens is after waking up from hibernate, I lose the ability to change and get new connections. Specifically, I have a similar experience as you, in that the connection status at the top shows disconnected even though it is working. But, it is important to note that because the status is disconnected, I do not have any other wifi networks shown to be available. > There was one problem on resuming. gnome-settings-daemon was spamming > the pcscd process really badly for some reason.

I used: killall nm-applet nm-applet & and then the behaviour is back to normal in the sense that the applet shows "connected" and I have the available wifi networks listed. The big issue is that this has to be done every time since Fedora 24. > > > PS: As an aside, one of the parameters in: /etc/default/grub, I have > > GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" -- I also tried with > > GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="false" but there was no visible effect.

But it is still not clear to me what this GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY does. Many thanks, Ranjan ____________________________________________________________ Can't remember your password?
