I'll paste the sequence of commands I'm trying to run to configure desktop Ubuntu 18.04 NetworkManager according to the answer in this SO question. When I perform the steps in the answer I end up with an "Error: connection verification failed".
nmcli connection show --active

nmcli> verify fix

What is going on and how do I fix it? Do I need to post all my wireless details according to this SO guide?

You have to specify a connection ID or name to change an existing connection script, or add SSID info if creating a new connection script...
man nmcli
edit {[id | uuid | path] ID | [type type] [con-name name] }
Edit an existing connection or add a new one, using an interactive
editor.
The existing connection is identified by its name, UUID or D-Bus
path. If ID is ambiguous, a keyword id, uuid, or path can be used.
See connection show above for the description of the ID-specifying
keywords. Not providing an ID means that a new connection will be
added.
The interactive editor will guide you through the connection
editing and allow you to change connection parameters according to
your needs by means of a simple menu-driven interface. The editor
indicates what settings and properties can be modified and provides
in-line help.
Available options:
type
type of the new connection; valid types are the same as for
connection add command.
con-name
name for the new connection. It can be changed later in the
editor.
postnote: if this is a Ubuntu Desktop installation, it's easier to use the NetworkManager GUI to setup these settings.

in my case instead of typingnmcli connection editinto my terminal I should have typednmcli connection edit LINKSYS99999? SSID is simply the network name I get when Inmcli connection show --activeI believe. Is this correct? I can try when I'm next in front of the Ubuntu box. Not using GUI because I need to learn command line. Thanks

--active shows your current connection and connection name. I don't know if I'd edit an existing wireless connection via cli. Learning the cli is a good goal, but I'd make sure I fully understand the GUI first.

I did end up editing the active connection. Before yousaveUbuntu will test the connection to make sure you didn't screw things up before applying changes. But your caution is warranted.
