[Bug 1302462] Re: network icon disappeared in xubuntu

 

Do the following :

sudo mousepad /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

and change :

[ifupdown]
managed=true


The default value is false, but it seems that if when the system starts the network is not yet ready the applet will not be displayed

if you set the value to true, it solves the problem.

PS : depending on your distribution the file may be called nm-system-
settings.conf instead of NetworkManager.conf

Title:
  network icon disappeared in xubuntu

Status in indicator-application package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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)
