I think I am experiencing the same bug. Here is a screenshot of my desktop with user menu when I am connected by WiFi.
By the way, I reinstalled Ubuntu 18.04.1 from scratch last week, but I kept my user directory intact. I had this issue since upgrading to 18.04 from 17.10. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot of user menu when connected to WiFi" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1755986/+attachment/5170107/+files/Screenshot%20user%20menu%20on%20WiFi.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1755986 Title: WiFi icon / settings gone from user menu Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Recently, in the GNOME session, the WiFi icon vanished, and all that I get is the icon for connected network, which is odd.
