My recent, easy and successful upgrade from 12.1 to 12.2, on HPDV7 laptop reminds me again to figure out how to NOT lose my acquired WiFi connections.
Too late for this time, I assume, but 12.3 will come soon enough.
I use KDE and Network Manager.
By hacking about I find that Network Manager saves learned connections in
Code:
pwd
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
carl@HPDV7-Linux:/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections> ll
total 4
-rw------- 1 root root 315 Nov 3 18:10 Cape_WiFi
carl@HPDV7-Linux:/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections>
So task for next time will be to copy the contents of this directory to a temporary location on /home, then copy it back after / is formatted and upgraded.
I have been unable to find where Kwallet saves its wallet files, which included the WiFi connection passcodes.
Can someone point me in a direction on the topic: retaining Kwallet files during upgrade?
Thanks
