[Bug 839883] Re: no network icon after upgrade to oneiric

 

I can't reproduce this with any type of connection (wifi, wired, or
wwan), and I've precisely been doing work to make sure the applet always
shows up in sessions outside Unity/indicator widgets, which obviously
meant testing and retesting precisely this...

Could you please attach .xsession-errors to this bug report (in case nm-
applet writes anything about what's happening when it is started), and
confirm whether you also have the latest update (network-manager-gnome
0.9.0-0ubuntu2) which may have already fixed this.

The only other reason I could think of for nm-applet not showing is if
network-manager is not running or has no devices it could maintain, so
it may be worth commenting the "auto ethX" lines from
/etc/network/interfaces or changing
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to "managed=true" so that it can
read and control interfaces already defined in /e/n/i.

Thanks!

Title:
  no network icon after upgrade to oneiric

Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  after upgrading to oneiric, I have no network icon in my indicator
  area anymore.  network-manager is running and working (both wired and
  wireless), but I can't select networks etc. without an indicator
  applet/icon/whatever.

  I tried killing and restarting nm-applet, but it simply runs with no
  output.
