I am using Qubes 3.2 with Fedora 24 netVM.

I have just noticed after changing the WPA2 password on one of the Access points I use that Qubes no longer remembers the Wifi password for any new access point that I add.

It will remember the password as long as I do not restart the sys-net AppVM or reboot the computer.

Is anyone else noticing this?

This should help. https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2584

Essentially, make sure you have gnome-keyring and libnotify-daemon rpms installed in the template. The edit the template /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf file and add 'keyfile' to the plugins list under [main].

Thank you, I see you mention the need for libnotify-daemon which does not look to exist as a package in dnf.


For the plugin's line I have


#plugins=ifcfg-rh,ibft


Does it make more sense to match it to that in github ("plugins=ifbt,keyfile) or just updated to add keyfile to existing one I have.  to be


plugins=ifcfg-rh,ibft,keyfile

Was typing from memory. Try notification-daemon for the rpm to install.
I would try it like plugins=ifcfg-rh,ibft,keyfile... but if it doesn't work, just make it plugins=keyfile. That is what the qubes-core-agent-linux is doing. I made mine simply plugins=keyfile but may not really matter.
