Server automount with NFS fails during boot using wireless network

[doubled]

Returning to Kubuntu after abandoning it for about a year, I suddenly encounter a failure to automount my network shares, but only when using the wireless network. Automount is successful using a wired connection to my laptop (Dell XPS).

I've configured fstab countless times with several distros, almost all Ubuntu-based (including Ubuntu):

Server IP:/Server_folder /home/*****/Server nfs defaults 0 0

The mount command in Terminal works fine.

Here is the lower portion of the output of "systemctl status home-*****-Server.mount" (-- suggested for viewing by /var/log/boot.log):

Mar 06 09:13:05 XPS-13-9360-Kubuntu1710 systemd[1]: Mounting /home/*****/Server...
Mar 06 09:13:05 XPS-13-9360-Kubuntu1710 systemd[1]: home-*****-Server.mount: Mount process exited, code=exited status=32
Mar 06 09:13:05 XPS-13-9360-Kubuntu1710 systemd[1]: Failed to mount /home/*****/Server.
Mar 06 09:13:05 XPS-13-9360-Kubuntu1710 systemd[1]: home-*****-Server.mount: Unit entered failed state.

I notice that the wireless network icon loads once the desktop appears at the end of the boot process. Thus, I think the system fails to load networking in time to perform the automount. Why this happens only with the wireless is baffling to me.

Any ideas?

Is the wireless connection configuration set to be useable by 'all users'?

Yes.

I finally found just now a solution -- at least it works, inelegant as it seems:

I have replaced "defaults" in fstab with "rw,auto,x-systemd.automount" and I now can open the Server folder in $HOME and see the shares. However, the network icon on Server folder does not show up until I close the folder. That's odd.

Thanks for your reply. I just wish I knew what change has occurred to make "defaults" cease to work.

I use autofs to mount NFS shares; they remain unmounted unless I need them, mount on demand and unmount when they're no longer needed. Might be worth a look -
