[Bug 1302462] Re: network icon disappeared in xubuntu

 

To FIx this problem we just have to change a value in "nm-
applet.desktop" file that is available in /etc folder. what u have to is
to change one value

1. first enter this command in terminal
          
        sudo gedit /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop

2. when the file is opened change the value of ICON as below

       original value of ICON=nm-device-wireless

      converted value is

           ICON=nm-applet 
3. save the file and Reboot 

after reboot you will see the wifi indicator .

Title:
  network icon disappeared in xubuntu

Status in indicator-application package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Following the latest Xubuntu 14.04 updates, the network icon disapperead from the xfce panel.
  I tried the workaround mentioned on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Trusty/Gtk3Indicators
  ("""As a workaround, put "INDICATOR_ALLOW_NO_WATCHERS=yes" in /etc/environment and reboot""") but it didn't fix anything.

  I can bring the icon into the panel by running "sudo nm-applet",
  unfortunately this still isn't functional since any interactive dialog
  needed by NetworkManager (for example a wifi password dialog) will
  never display, and therefore connecting will fail.

  (I filed this bug against xfce4-panel, but there might be a better
  choice)
