[Solved] NetworkManager does not autoconnect (eth/wlan)

Hi folks,

every time I start my machine I need to manually connect to the network despite NM being configured to auto connect.

Please see here:

$ nmcli -f name,autoconnect connection

NAME                              AUTOCONNECT 
Azure VPN                         yes         
Wired (Dock)                      yes         
tun0                              no          

And also, both VPN and wired network have:

All users may connect to this network

Any idea of how to fix this?

Thank you.

Re: [Solved] NetworkManager does not autoconnect (eth/wlan)

Does this apply here?

If not can we see the output of

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

Thanks!

The article seems to worry only about VPN not connecting, my problem is a bit different given the whole connection does not work. However I can try that and give feedback, maybe failing the VPN is also failing the whole connection.

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

NetworkManager.service                   | multi-user.target.wants
NetworkManager-wait-online.service       | network-online.target.wants

Thank you for the help

That's almost certainly not the entirety of the command and filtering it for NetworkManager misses the point of why we want to see the output, post all of it

Post NetworkManager's log.

journalctl -b -u NetworkManager

Re: [Solved] NetworkManager does not autoconnect (eth/wlan)

@Head_on_a_Stick suggestion was spot on.

I tried to reboot after unticking "Automatically connect to this VPN" and that worked. Thanks. I will set up the dispatcher to connect as per wiki.
