Please check the KDE Plasma Network Manager Plasmoid – in the System Settings tray.
Take a note of all your network settings.
Then, with a Super-User mode Konsole window, move all the files located in the directory ‘/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/’ to a temporary directory located in the home directory of the user “root” – the home directory of the user “root” is ‘/root/’.
Reboot.
Login to your KDE Plasma session and set up the Network Manager connections again.
Hey, thanks fou you help but I’m a new user of Linux and don’t know how to check Plasmoid or enter Super-User mode Konsole, could you explain me the steps?
Also i tried tho chek if it is hard bloked by** /usr/sbin/rfkill **and konsole says No such file or directory…

Then, with a Super-User mode Konsole window, move all the files located in the directory ‘/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/’ to a temporary directory located in the home directory of the user “root” – the home directory of the user “root” is ‘/root/’.
There is no files in such directory.
As an update, I tried to connect my laptop via Ethernet and was impossible as well, the machine dose detect the cable but doesn’t connect. I have no internet so may be there are some steps I cant perform.
Within the System Tray, there’s a Plasmoid with a name and description indicating that, it’s the Plasmoid which the user may use to manage the machine’s network interfaces and especially, the WLAN (WiFi) access points …
Note that, if the Wallet is to open automatically on login, the a wallet named “kdewallet” which uses Blowfish encryption and, has a password which is the same as the user’s login password, has to be used to store the WLAN “secrets”. Assuming that, a KDE Wallet named “kdewallet” has been set up and is acitve when the WLAN access point is set up, the “secrets” will be stored automatically in the wallet …
The wallet settings are set up via the “System Settings” which is usually available via the “Favorites” in the “Application Launcher” – item number 1 (program starter) in the KDE Plasma Desktop description.
[HR][/HR]The “Application Launcher” (program starter) has a section named “Applications” and, within that area there’s an area named “System” (“mouse over” is usually more than sufficient to select this area) and, within that area there’s an application named “Super-User mode Konsole” – click it and, enter the password of the user “root” at the prompt.
Alternatively, simply hit “Alt-Space Bar
” (Hold down the “Alt” key and hit the space bar) and begin typing “Konsole” – usually the first few characters are sufficient …*=2]This is called “auto-completion” – automatic completion of what I want to begin doing exactly now …
[HR][/HR]Welcome to beginning to doing things the UNIX® way – as opposed to the way a certain entity based in the swamps of the West Coast of the North American continent believes the world should do things …
Well ‘‘Kdwallet’’ doesn’t show up when I try to connect to a wifi network or I boot the system, as well I tried to open the Wallet Manager and it doesn’t open.
I’m writing here throw my other computer xD.
Thanks for your patience.
After cheking I think all the answers are yes, but when i did the set up of the ‘‘kwallet’’ I set up a None pass, just doing enter when the system asked me for a pass.
Okey, I went to the university and the computer have connected to the wireless network for maybe 2min, I could open my mail and charge up the youtube page. So the computer is able to connect but sothing it’s wrong on the configuration.
All really wierd.
