    Hey, so today I was on my laptop and it had already turned the screen off like I have it set to do because I had left it alone for a while. When I cam back and moved the mouse to wake the screen and sign back in I noticed the wifi symbol looked greyed out and had a small circle above it just to the upper left corner.

    Does anyone know what this means?

    Sorry for a late response, but do you have wifi? Does everything work fine? When you go into network management, does everything else look okay? Had you rebooted to see if it remained the same?
