Doesn’t automatically sign into known networks

[AhmedHalat]

I'm running a raspberry pi 3 (had the same issue on my pi zero and pi 4 as well) with Raspian (both current desktop and lite version).

After running wifi-connect and filling out the portal my pi successfully connects to the wifi. Then after restarting the pi it doesn't reconnect to any known networks but instead needs to be resigned in.

/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ does list all the networks I've connected to before, but they're not being automatically connected to. Any help would be appreciated

Having the same issue. I can use WiFi Connect to get the device connected, but it won't reconnect without intervention after a restart or power loss.

Hi @AhmedHalat and @ryanrolds , got this issue too recently. Have you guys found what's causing the problem?

Running sudo journalctl --unit=NetworkManager or sudo journalctl --u NetworkManager shows errors in the service. I can't remember the exact error I was getting, but it was something to do with the permissions on the actual .service file.

So sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/bin/NetworkManager fixed the issue for me
