Wifi does not reset after closing/reopening lid [WORKAROUND] #21

If you close the lid the wifi shuts down. When you repoen the lid:

it does not restart automatically
if i use the icon at the top right of the gnome interface, it does not work neither

Workaround: open a terminal (ctrl-alt-T) and sudo service network-manager restart

Ubuntu 16.10 uname -r > 4.12.0-rc1-custom3

For me it works correctly, maybe a kernel version regression?

Arch Linux uname -r > 4.10.0-arch-cstm+

Grippy98 commented 6 years ago

Yeah this is a known issue with it right now. It seems to only really happen in Ubuntu (that I've experienced).

And yeah, restarting the network manager service does the trick. I'm not sure what causes this...

matt32106 commented 6 years ago

is it gnome specific?

Grippy98 commented 6 years ago

No, it seems to happen under Unity too. I haven't had it happen in LXDE that I can remember though.

I really don't understand why some bugs crop up under some desktop environments but not others.

Also if you check the readme I gave u credit for the networking restart temp-fix since a bunch of users were complaining about that happening and having to restart :)

matt32106 commented 6 years ago

oh thanks but i discovered after posting that the fix was already in one of the issues... :) it's damienfern that should be credited

can it be that each desktop uses different applets?!

Grippy98 commented 6 years ago

I'm not sure to be honest... it's weird since the same version of something like PulseAudio will outright crash on one environment and work perfectly in another.
