Problem:
When I (right) click to open the Network Manager from the panel (in the bottom right), it opens for 0.5-2s before closing. This seems to be independent of mouse movement or clicking. This means it is difficult to use the options in the menu (but if I am fast enough, I can still use them).
I am clicking the Network widget that appears after enabling Network on Autostart (below). I believe the nm-tray widget works as expected (the one that displays "enable Wi-Fi" works fine, the one that lists the available Wi-Fi connections does not work).
My computer spec:
Running lubuntu-22.04.3-desktop-amd64 on a Z50-70 Laptop (Lenovo) - Type 80E7. (Only Lubuntu, no other OS, though the laptop used to use Windows 8)
The laptop is quite old, and has battery issues (evidenced by weak battery pop-ups).
Other:
Prior to this, I enabled Network on Autostart (through Preferences -> LXQt Settings -> Session Settings -> Autostart -> Network) so that the Network Manager would appear on the panel. Network has an exclamation mark next to it.
The image download was not corrupted, as I checked the SHA256SUM of the iso file I got the same as the reference on Ubuntu's website: ffccfa53a10bacf0b8b7589e85c739e650aef8f38ac4ed66f96fd591396d2f21 *lubuntu-22.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso.
I am new to running Linux in general. The issue has been present since the installation of Lubuntu (which was only a few days ago).
Testing:
- Waiting after right-clicking: it still closes.
- Other panel items behave as expected (i.e. Removable Media, Volume Control, Notifications, Battery, Qlipper, World Clock, etc)
- Opened a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t), ran nm-connection-editor, it doesn't seem to provide any diagnostic output - just "Wired connection 1" and a Wi-Fi network I am trying to connect to. (i.e. the command succeeded)
- Opened Computer/var/crash/ and it was empty.
