>From reply #13:

According to SteveRiley, on the Kubuntu Forum, if you enable "All users
may connect to this network" in the settings, then the connection does
autoconnect. I tried this once or twice with my wifi networks and it
seems to work.

This does not work for me.

PC: HP Pavilion g7-1070us 64-bit i3
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 05)

I was running Kubuntu 14.04.1 w/KDE 4.14.2 perfectly on this laptop. I
was fully dist-upgraded and did a release upgrade from the console:
sudo do-release-upgrade -d

When it finished and I rebooted, network-manager did not auto-start.
Before the KDM login screen, these two messages were presented:

Waiting for network configuration...

then after awhile,

Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration...

At the end of the 60 seconds, KDM login screen presented and I logged
in. I had no network connections. Running sudo service network-manager
start from the console started both my ethernet and wireless
connections.

Editing both connections and marking "All users may connect to this
network" in the settings DOES NOT servive a logout/reboot. I really
would like to know why, and how to remedy this.

The only thing I can point to is the message that a 'fatal error
occured' right at the end of the release-upgrade process:

Total disk space freed by localepurge: 0 KiB

Error in function:


A fatal error occurred 

Please report this as a bug and include the files

Does anyone have information as to what caused this?
