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
