Ask Ubuntu Asked by Nicholas Stommel on December 4, 2021
I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS and unfortunately there appears to be a very annoying issue with the network manager. The connection that should happen automatically on startup does not initiate automatically. Every time I start the computer, I have to manually select the network I want to connect to. This issue did not happen in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and is extremely annoying. I made sure the connection is available to all users and set to automatically connect with priority 0, and deleted the connection and tried again but nothing seems to work. Why is this happening?
I had the same experience with Lubuntu 20.04 on a Acer chromebook c710 with a hidden network. I solved by
sudo featherpad /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/"name of your ssid".nmconnection
system-connections and add just under
[wifi]
hidden=true

Okay, I think this worked for some reason: go to 'Network Connections', select the gear to edit the connection, go to the 'Wi-Fi Security' tab, and in the 'Password' box, select 'Store the password only for this user'. Save, restart, and bam it connects automatically. Strange issue.
