[Bug 1301158] Re: nm-applet icon invisible
This is an very old bug, but maybe it could help someone. In my case, the .dbus directory in home was owned by root:root and that was actually the blocker. sudo chown -R user:user ~/.dbus solved the issue and nm-applet became visible after restart. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301158 Title: nm-applet icon invisible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1301158/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1308348 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308348 Hi, Invisible and visible applet: Since I installed Ubuntu Trusty from the mini.iso (with all necessary packages to make a desktop environment around Openbox), I have had the same bug: well more or less. Only the icon of the Ethernet/cabled network does *not show*. The wireless icon *does show*, be it in Lxpanel, or in tint2 (I use one or the other, depending on which machine I use), but once the cable is used it *does not show*. It *does not* mean it is not working! There is an empty space where the icon should show and with a left click and a right click on this empty space I can *actually see* the nm-applet menus! And network-manager DOES work. This hence seems not to be a duplicate of bug #1308348. There is another bug I am hitting in Trusty, it the Ethernet connection is started on boot only, once booted, if the cable is disconnected and reconnected, it does not reconnect spontaneously. The wireless can be deactivated then reactivated without the system being restarted, while the connection with cable can't. So for this issue also only the Ethernet connection is affected. I have to seek through Bugzilla to see if I find a report about it.
