Ubuntu

stop wireless from turning back on every startup

Asked by Brutal_Moose

      I am a novice at Linux. If you have advice, or an answer to my question, please give a full explanation, so that I may understand it. Please do not omit any steps in the instructions, or I will probably not be able to complete them. Thank you.

      Ubuntu MATE 16.04 laptop.

     Every time I startup, Ubuntu attempts to find wifi networks. I turn it off, but then every startup, it is back on. Where are the settings for this, and what is the logical reason for them not being easy to find?

I suggest you report a bug. I agree, the last WiFi state should be remembered

How do I report a bug?

If you run:

ubuntu-bug network-manager

You will start the process.

You think I was supposed to guess that?

I have submitted my bug report. Thank you for showing me how to do that. I enjoy that there are less bugs in the Linux Experience than the Windows Experience.

Its just how I do it. There are GUI ways and so forth but I like the CLI way. It gathers useful system information.

I have no idea what that means.

Oh I see what you mean, Parsnip. I was confused because your comment was not a response, just a statement.
