2023-09-21 17:54:49 Jeremy Bícha description What happened? ============== If a Wifi password is provided during the install, the Wifi network is supposed to be preconfigured with that password after install. It's not working with Ubuntu 23.10. Steps to reproduce ================== Use the new Ubuntu Desktop installer to install Ubuntu 23.10 from a computer that has a wifi card During the install, connect to a password-protected wifi network After the install, the computer should be automatically connected to that network Additional context 20230920 Ubuntu Desktop Mantic ISO Ubuntu Desktop 23.10 now uses Netplan as the NetworkManager backend. I do have a /etc/netplan/90-NM-{redacted-UUID}.yaml file which has the network listed but it doesn't seem to have the password saved. wifi-security.auth-alg: "open" does not sound right to me. network: version: 2 wifis NM-{redacted-UUID}: renderer: NetworkManager match: name: "wlp2s0" dhcp4: true dhcp6: true access-points: "{redacted Access Point name}": auth: key-management: "psk" networkmanager: uuid: "{redacted-UUID}" name: "{redacted Access Point name}" passthrough: wifi-security.auth-alg: "open" ipv6.addr-gen-mode: "default" ipv6.ip6-privacy: "-1" proxy._: "" networkmanager: uuid: "{redacted-UUID}" name: "{redacted Access Point name}" This bug was cross-posted from https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-installer/issues/2348 This is related to bug 2036999 except this is for the new Ubuntu Desktop Installer and the other bug is for Ubiquity ("legacy" installer) What happened? ============== If a Wifi password is provided during the install, the Wifi network is supposed to be preconfigured with that password after install.
