I try to download a file with curl directly after logging into Gnome. This usually fails because mostly the WiFi connection is only established after login. If I wait long enough in the login screen before logging in, the connection is already established and the download works.
So far I have used Manjaro. WiFi was already active long before the login screen of GDM was even displayed. The download therefore always worked.
The download is initiated with a *.desktop file in ~/.config/autostart.
Is there another way to start the download after the user is logged in and the WiFi connection is really ready?
