Unable to locate stored Wi-Fi details using the tty1 command line interface.
I've just moved from a custom server to a Ubuntu desktop version. My previous setup used Ubuntu 22.04 with LXDM, JWMR, and a non-DKMS NVIDIA driver. I sometimes faced a pesky boot issue because the system couldn't find WPSP files, which messed up my Wi-Fi password settings. I had to manually adjust them in the Netplan folder for my saved network. After switching to Unity Ubuntu, the Netplan file no longer exists. I'm stuck trying to locate it myself. Do you know where Ubuntu 22.04 stores these configuration files? I was hoping you could guide me on editing the SSID or similar settings manually.
Most desktop environments now rely on Network Manager instead of manual text file management. For example, using nmcli dev wifi with "Cafe Hotspot 1" password and name "My cafe" creates a new connection named "My cafe" linked to the SSID "Cafe Hotspot 1" with the password "caffeine". This approach is ideal for initial connections. Later, prefer nmcli con up id "My cafe" to reuse existing profiles without duplicating entries.
