I remember seeing it mentioned reported under numerous flavours of Linux over the years, as it happened to me several times. I don't think anyone has ever been able to track down what makes the indicator disappear. ///Peter -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
Re: [xubuntu-users] Network Manager Icon Disappears
My problem was resolved on this forum, but not by adding to the panel. I had to install something (apt-get . . . maybe gnome-something?) I can't recall. I can look it up if you want.

Re: [xubuntu-users] Network Manager Icon Disappears
Hi Rog, I had the same problem on 3 new installs of Xubuntu. I finally solved the problem on all 3 installs. Simply add the the indicator plugin back into the panel! Mine have been running fine for the last couple of months-the indicator plugin seems to behave itself nicely and no more disappearing act. I did an additional 2 fresh installs of 16.04 last week, and those installs never developed the disappearing act-go figure:>> Enjoy.
