network manager applet missing in pane in 10.04

[ankur1990]

Hello guys!

I have the same problem (network applet gone) and rather then opening a new thread I will continue this one (even though I see is marked as solved). I tried editing the nm-system-settings.conf and I got the applet back, but the problem was that I lost my internet connection. The internet wire was plugged in, but the applet appeared as disconnected. So, I reverted the changes, I have internet again, but no applet. Any suggestions for me?

u r using wired network or wireless?.......
I m running wired network of mine through "pppoeconf" and its works for me

I use the exact same settings: wired network through pppoeconf.

I use the exact same settings: wired network through pppoeconf.

ok i m nt sure but in my case when i connect to wired using pppoecong it uses eth0 interface hence i need to configure the sudo pppoeconf again while in case of wireless it uses eth1 interface so againg i have to reconfig it...... it depends on your interface i think...
as i sadi i m not sure abt it its my opinion but do concern pthers too

Hey Fellas
nm-applet problem solved
Solved it own after searching long.
Method---
in the terminal type "sudo edit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf" change the "managed=false" to "managed=true" and then save it.
then in the terminal type "killall nm-system-settings"
and then reboot......
it works for me...
Try with urs and tell me the result

Thanks for your posting, it helped my ubuntu too . I published your solution at the German community ubuntuusers.de ( http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/vo.../#post-2493277 )!

right click panel>add to panel>Notification Area

that done it for me.

That done it for me too !
I had tried almost everything else with no result.
I had removed the "Notification Area" before, but wasn't unaware of the consequences as I didn't loose wireless connectivity immediately.
Thank you very much.

As someone said early in this thread, Ubuntu 10.04 is NOWHERE NEAR STABLE.
- I'm having the indicator applet issue with both missing nm-applet, AND battery level appearing twice today; also broadcom wireless on a mini 10v (which is 1 of the very few machines to come pre-installed with Ubuntu!!!) just does NOT work.

AND NOBODY SEEMS TO BE TAKING IT SERIOUSLY - are we back to the 'well its free so what do you expect?' days??

Apologies for not being entirely on-topic, but I'm losing patience here and I've been fully converted for 4 years...whats happened? The ball has not just been dropped, its been kicked into the long grass and lost!?

Thanks - I never knew about the notifications pane in systray and it had got turned off. I've been looking for ages without popping in here but turning it back on has solved my problem with nm and the battery monitor
