My difficulties also began upon upgrade. However, I get no warning. I'm running the Plasma 5 desktop, so I have the new nm widget.
In spite of configuring my home wireless setup, including proper password, etc. and selecting "connect automatically on start" - it never does. I have to click the widget and click the connect *every*time*. Really annoying. If there is a network problem it doesn't autoconnect once the router has been reset either, which in 14.04 it did without a hiccup. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1385709 Title: network-manager service doesn't start at boot time Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I just completed the upgrade from Kubuntu 14.04 to 14.10. Haven't had any network trouble before the upgrade. After the upgrade, the network-manager service does not start when the computer boots up - the Kubuntu splash screen says 'waiting for network configuration', then 'waiting another 60 seconds for network configuration' (or something like that), then finally boots up without a network connection. Also the Network Management tray icon tooltip says that the network-manager service is not running. However if I then manually open the terminal and run 'sudo service network-manager start', then it starts ok and the network connects within a few seconds and everything works ok until the next reboot. I'm on a desktop PC with a wired LAN connection and no wifi adapter. network-manager version is 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu28.
