[Bug 284162] Re: network-manager, missing icon on the system tray or notification area after switching to a different user
Just a little note about the recent bug merge made by tanoloco which caused a little confusion. We do welcome new users to help with bugs, but recommend that if they are unsure of their actions, they should check with some with higher karma and belonging to the bugsquad team (we are available via mailing list or in #ubuntu-bugs on IRC). The notification area bug is one of intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10). If you are able to reproduce the issue of the notification area missing after switching to another user in 8.10, please open a new bug using the command: $ apport-bug gnome-panel The issue with NetworkManager never starting for the second user (it actually starts then crashes silently) is a known one. It has been reported upstream and in Ubuntu Bug #284596 (affects 47 people). This bug has been triaged and already assigned to Alexander sack. I have spoken to Dan Williams (main developer for NetworkManager) who informed me that he is fully aware of the issue and has already plans to fix the issue. It may not make it for NerworkManager 0.8.1, but if not, it should be released soon thereafter. The bug described in comment #14 #30 of two volume applets in Lucid (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) is Bug #573664 - completely separate issue. So instead of stacking multiple different issues into one meta bug, which causes confusion and does not help developers, this bug will be marked as invalid for the reason given above. Please subscribe to the bugs above which affect you. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Invalid -- network-manager, missing icon on the system tray or notification area after switching to a different user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284162 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 284162] Re: network-manager, missing icon on the system tray or notification area after switching to a different user
I'm experiencing the exact same problem as described by GonzO in comment #14. This started to happen on my system after the upgrade from Karmic to Lucid. I can't remember ever having experienced this on Karmic, but the problem now occurs on almost every boot. The icon is there, but will either be invisible (you only see a pixel or two) or it appears as another icon (in my case as the volume icon that's sitting right next to it). After removing and re-adding the notification area, the network applet is shown as expected. -- network-manager, missing icon on the system tray or notification area after switching to a different user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284162 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, I did a search and found a few duplicates of this bug and I marked them as duplicates of this one only becase they are newer. But bug #284596 seems to be more followed (it has more people declared affected, more people nominated, more subscribers and so on): is it more correct to mark bug #284596 as a duplicate of this one (bug #284162) because it's newer or viceversa mark this one (bug #284162) as a duplicate of bug #284596 because it's more followed? -- network-manager, missing icon on the system tray or notification area after switching to a different user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284162 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 284162] Re: network-manager, missing icon on the system tray or notification area after switching to a different user
I'm not sure that all the bugs should have been merged, but they can all probably be resolved with the same fixes. That said I don't feel like reviewing them all. The relevant point of failure is in the function applet_dbus_manager_start_service in the applet-dbus-manager.c file which can currently be seen starting at line 417 at: http://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-applet/tree/src/applet-dbus-manager.c I don't know enough about dbus, but I believe it should be possible to have multiple event generators and listeners. Simply allowing multiple connections to the backend may not be reasonable if the code is not thread safe, or at least if the code doesn't account for potential deadlocks and race conditions. I.e. It seems like much more analysis is needed for a proper fix.

[Bug 284162] Re: network-manager, missing icon on the system tray or notification area after switching to a different user
Hi, bug #284162 is about not being able to see the icon, bug #284596 seems more about not being able to see the status, yet another bug might be that the network can only be configured by a single user, and another potential security bug is that a second user can make use of a network connection opened by the first user (maybe locking the screen should optionally close the network connection on secure connections). That said, I think the problems are all fairly clear no matter whether the bugs are grouped into this larger bug, or split into specific separate issues (which sometimes leads to information going to the wrong reports). I still think a mode that opens network connections at boot time would be useful too. A boot time connection with the no-configuration after the first nm-applet connection (except with that first instance) bug would mean that no-one would be able to reconfigure the network which is the case when the network is manually configured.

[Bug 284162] Re: network-manager, missing icon on the system tray or notification area after switching to a different user
Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu 9.10 install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project. This is a bug even in the latest network manager. But the fix is not trivial, [from my discussion with the nm maintainers] Not a papercut For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut. Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as Invalid only in the papercuts project. ** Summary changed: - [intrepid] network-manager, missing icon on the system tray or notification area after switching to a different user + network-manager, missing icon on the system tray or notification area after switching to a different user ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: New = Invalid ** Project changed: hundredpapercuts = network-manager-applet ** Changed in: network-manager-applet Status: Invalid = New -- network-manager, missing icon on the system tray or notification area after switching to a different user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284162 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug is an upstream one and it would be quite helpful if somebody experiencing it could send the bug the to the people writing the software. You can learn more about how to do this for various upstreams at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream. Thanks in advance!
