Unable to automatically login to home WiFi network

#1 Post by AltTabDelete »

In 'Network Connections' under 'General Configuration' > 'Connect automatically with Priority 0' is selected, but I still need to manually select my home network for it to login to the WiFi network. What am I doing wrong?

Have you enabled Kwallet? And created a new/default one? This fixed it for me.

@markol - Thank you for replying; I haven't enabled Kwallet - I don't use it, I'll reserve that for a last resort. Thank you!

@Huckleberry Finn - Thank you for replying, I have just made the changes you suggested; I'll have to logout & login again to check it out, Thank you!
