To Jorge Candela and Hayden Skinner Thank you very much for the feedback.
I didn't mention before (#25) to avoid lengthy posts but I can add the following: I always upgrade by making a fresh install no matter the distro. Some of the workarounds that I have tried: - Tried to add nm-applet to startup - Tried to modify a file (which I cannot recall now) change some settings that said NoShowIn KDE; LXDE by removing the LXDE - sudo apt-get purge network-manager-gnome - sudo apt-get clean - sudo apt-get install wicd - Try to run in live mode. In all above I tried enable/disable the broadcom driver All of these were useless. I have to say that I did not follow the Jorge's method #29 yet, because the Ubuntu 14.04 is running well, although the netbook is almost "spiting blood". It is slow but working flawlessly. Nevertheless I miss Lubuntu on this hardware and I think I will wait for a proper fix, since right now I have no time to do testing. But if I find some time I'll try it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308348 Title: network settings indicator missing from panel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel/+bug/1308348/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
