I just tried today's daily ISO and this is still a problem in the live session: after you enter the wifi password in the network manager widget, a dialog box immediately pops up asking you for it again.

So either the underlying issue is not fixed, or the live session doesn't have the fix, or else we still need to do the procedure I outlined above.

Pre-provisioning would involve casper I think. In the way that it changes defaults in a few other ways for our live session. e.g. screenlocker timeout and installer icon

Ummmm.

From https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kwallet-kf5/+bug/1430426

alternatively make kwallet so it doesn't need set up

So yeah, we should do that.

Capser does:

Please test the iso here: http://kci.pangea.pub/images/iso_bionic_stable_amd64/current/

Network connected without double password prompt via Ubiquity and from the live boot panel icon (rebooted to test both). All secure networks were correctly marked as "secure".

Fix verified:

I zsynced kubuntu-ci-stable-bionic-amd64.iso.zsync
I dd'd the ISO to a usb thumb drive
I booted the thumb drive
I saw the WEP network, selected it, and entered the key all in Network Manager from the tray.
I did NOT get the pop-up to re-enter the WEP password.

Great. Would you mind commenting the same in the LP Bug, where I have a debdiff of the fix?

Same to all testers :)
