Update : this is what it says when i try to run this command to compensate the nm-applet loading failure
sudo nm-applet ** Message: applet now removed from the notification area ** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area ** Message: <info> No keyring secrets found for Auto AMyCon/802-11-wireless-security; asking user. ** Message: <info> No keyring secrets found for Tata Docomo (GPRS)/gsm; asking user. ** ERROR:applet-device-gsm.c:781:gsm_get_secrets: assertion failed: (info) Aborted It looks like the 'connect automatically' option checked on my 3G connection tries to retrieve the SMS PIN from the keyring secrets (like it does for the wifi passkeys stored there) and fails hence the failure to load/start the nm-applet. not sure however if this is a bug or a design problem. thanks, -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732640 Title: nm-applet doesn't load when my 3G connection is checked for 'connect automatically' while the SIM PIN is enabled -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
