Wifi not connecting automatically

#1 Post by tekkaman »

Hello,

I'm trying MX Linux in a client's laptop. I have 2 issues but since they're very different I'll make 2 topics.

Issue 1: I doesn't connect to wifi automatically. I have to click the wifi icon and connect manually each time the computer starts. I doesn't forget the password but I have to click connect every time.

Specs:

When you logout or reboot, there is a checkbox for "Save session for future logins." Did you check the box?
