[SOLVED] Start WiFi connection at login time

Luca91 · 2021-07-16 08:25:26

Hello,
I have many programs that start automatically after I login (using sddm) to my machine, that needs an internet connection to work (MS Teams, Thunderbird, Slack, etc).
The problem is that when Plasma starts, the wifi isn't already connected, so I have to manually restart all these apps.
Is there any way to start the wireless connections while on sddm login screen? This will ensure that internet connection will be available when on Plasma.
I already checked "All user can connect to this network" in kde network manager.

Thanks a lot for the help

If network activates automatically but needs time, enabling NetworkManager-wait-online.service may help.

Thank you both!
I solved it by enabling "Store password for all users (not encrypted)" in security setting. This isn't that secure I know, but I'm the only one using this computer.
