[Bug 1455662] Re: nm-applet icon disappears from menu bar requiring 'sudo service network-manager stop; sudo service network-manager start' to get back.

 

No much luck.
Last few times (at session start) the nm-applet icon disappeared (after some time).

Interestingly the lack of the icon does not necessarily means lack of internet! At least sometimes, there was internet (ping, web) despite of the empty place of the nm-applet.
But, sometimes the internet, after some time (at the worst moments) was gone. :(  And 'nmcli connection up XX' in most of the cases works but (as I remember) not always.

Title:
  nm-applet icon disappears from menu bar requiring 'sudo service
  network-manager stop; sudo service network-manager start' to get back.

Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Occasionally when changing Wi-Fi networks the nm-applet icon in the
  menu bar will disappear and require a reboot to get back. On previous
  releases I could simply killall nm-applet; nm-applet & and it would
  reappear but that workaround no longer works.

  Find my self rebooting at least once every two days because I lose nm-
  applet. This problem seemed to start upon upgrading to Vivid.
