When I resume my laptop from suspend and need to connect to a new Wifi network, the network list displays a spinner and never seems to finish loading. This appears to be strictly a UI bug. As a workaround, I run the following, and it works perfectly:

  $ nmcli device wifi list
  $ nmcli device wifi connect [name]

Once connected, the UI displays the list of networks correctly.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Resume from suspend in a place without known wifi connections
2. Open the top right menu
3. Click "Select Network"
Actual Results:  
Loading indicator is displayed forever (or at least, for much longer than it takes to scan for networks)

Expected Results:  
Network list should be displayed


This only seems to happen when the computer does not already connect to a known network.

I've only tested this when resuming from suspend, not after a reboot - don't know if that matters.

This bug also happens if I "forget" the wifi network I'm connected to and suspend the laptop. That makes it easy to repro it.

"Select Network" sounds like a GNOME shell functionality, not nm-applet.

Nevertheless, we get similar reports (rh #1350221, rh #1403645) for the applet (which I'm unable to reproduce in Fedora 26).

I'm wondering if you could share the journal entries? (just redirect "journalctl -fl" to a file while suspending & resuming to reproduce the issue).

Closing this. Can't reproduce and no response from the reporter.
