Bug ID: 524382
Summary: Secret agent not re-registered fast enough after
NetworkManager.service restart mid-session, causing
spurious "no secrets: User canceled the secrets
request" on auto-reconnect
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.7.4
Reported In:
Platform: CachyOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Networking in general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
When `NetworkManager.service` is restarted while a Plasma session is already
running (e.g. triggered by a pacman -Syu package upgrade hook, or after a crash
restart), the plasma-nm secret agent (kded module) does not re-register with
the freshly-restarted NetworkManager instance quickly enough.
NetworkManager attempts to auto-reconnect to the active Wi-Fi network
immediately after the restart, requests secrets from the (not yet
re-registered) agent, gets no usable response and fails with the misleading log
message no secrets: `User canceled the secrets request` (even though no user
interaction happened at all). NetworkManager's built-in retry logic eventually
succeeds a few tens of seconds later, once the agent has caught up, so the bug
is self-healing but causes a confusing ~1-2 minute Wi-Fi outage.
OBSERVED RESULT
NetworkManager restarts and wlan0 immediately attempts to auto-reconnect. The
first (sometimes second) reconnect attempt fails:
```
NetworkManager[71792]: <info> device (wlan0): Activation: (wifi) access point
'network' has security, but secrets are required.
NetworkManager[71792]: <info> device (wlan0): Activation: (wifi) connection
'network' has security, and secrets exist. No new secrets needed.
NetworkManager[71792]: <warn> device (wlan0): no secrets: User canceled the
secrets request.
NetworkManager[71792]: <info> device (wlan0): state change: need-auth -> failed
(reason 'no-secrets', managed-type: 'full')
