This forum post gives another method for restoring the nm-applet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9236722&postcount=16 This can be used as a workaround until they get it fixed. This method is explained in the file /usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian. Read that to get an idea of what is actually being done there. This is just an alternate approach to the one as described by miked1981 above.
@Martin Pitt Can you explain how the update to update-manager would fix this problem with nm-applet. I use pppoeconf to connect to my ADSL connection. And I lost my panel applet after I configured my ADSL connection (this is also the case with other people on the forum thread I linked above). Before that, on a clean lucid install, the applet was appearing normally and I could connect to my University's wireless networks. Here's what I get when I type "nm-applet" in the terminal: ** (nm-applet:2271): WARNING **: <WARN> constructor(): Couldn't initialize the D-Bus manager. And this is what my .xsession-errors has to say: ** (nm-applet:1832): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0 ** (nm-applet:1832): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0 And I got the above outputs when I was not using the workaround described in the thread. -- upgrade triggers nm-applet "resource not found" ... missing icon "nm-applet-device" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456468 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
