Good to know that the issue has been resolved.  I really hope it wasn't due to
switching your "wife definition".  :-)

I don't think it was switching the wifi definition. The encrypted definition is what I have always used, but it stopped working when I changed the wifi router and adapter and the kernel wouldn't load the adapter driver because of the compile options I used. Thankyou for all your help.

Having just revisited this issue after rectifying the issue with my wifi definition, it has resurfaced again with my two vpn definitions. The two vpn definitions don't have the password recorded even though I have specified it in the past. If I bring up knetworkmanager5 and look in there the password is there, and if I transfer it into the vpn definition in networkmanager and 'apply' it, select 'ok' to exit the edit process, and then re-edit the definition, the password is not there (this is the same issue I originally had with the wifi definition), and then when I connect to the definition I am prompted for the vpn password (I don't get prompted for the kwallet password as I have pam-kwallet installed).

Do I need to change the definition from 'save password encrypted' to 'save not encrypted' to get the appropriate file created with the password, and then change it back to 'save password encrypted' to get the password retained (as worked with the wifi password issue)? If so, why is networkmanager now working like this?


regards,

Steve
