    You might consider removing the [SOLVED] tag from your thread title. This will have more people visiting this thread (as we generally tend to ignore the solved threads) and thus this might help troll with his problem..

    Exclamation Re: network manager applet missing in pane in 10.04

    Why is this marked as solved? There was no answer that concisely explained how to solve this. I am having the same problem. This is a major bug and a show stopper. Everyone needs to control access to networking. Why not just have the network item in the add to panel app to fix this when it occurs?

    Re: network manager applet missing (AND NOW BATTERY) in pane in 10.04

    Hello - I tried the "solution" and got the following results:

    error after typing the edit command:

    lorieu@umouklo-laptop:/etc/NetworkManager$ sudo edit nm=system-settings.conf

    Warning: unknown mime-type for "nm=system-settings.conf" -- using
    "application/octet-stream"
    Error: no "edit" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"

    I got around this by using gksudo gedit nm=system-settings.conf

    However, when I type: killall nm-system-settings

    I get: nm-system-settings: no process found

    After rebooting the userid that had the problem appeared to be fixed. However, the userid I had that was working lost both the battery and network icon from the panel.

    STILL NO SOLUTION FOR ME. I NEED BOTH IDs TO WORK. THE PANEL NEEDS A LOT OF DEBUGGING IN 10.04. IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN?

    All - After mucking around with this I discovered the following:

    I can fix the battery indicator by going to SYSTEM->PREFERENCES->POWER MANAGEMENT General tab and clicking the "Always display an icon" button.

    The Network Manager icon has something to do with switching users. Even if you set both users to be able to manage wireless connections when you create them only the first user logged in will get the icon. I STILL THINK THIS IS A BUG AND IT IS CONFUSING AND SHOULD BE FIXED.

    Here's the bug report for this problem:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...et/+bug/456468
    Just hope that they get it fixed soon.

    EDIT:
    Sorry, but this turned out to be the wrong bug report . here's the right one:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...et/+bug/577678.
    It also describes an alternate method for getting the nm-applet back.

    Re: network manager applet missing in pane in 10.04

    i'm having the same issue: no indicator applet for network


    interestingly, when i start System -> Preferences -> Network Connections i don't see any connections even though i'm connected. i did the steps described above (managed=true). i then get a "wired connection" in "Network Connections" called "ifupdown (eth0)" which i can't edit and it is set as "used: never"(?).


    when i do "gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces" and edit it to
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback


    the connection is called "Auto eth0" "used: never".

    I had to go into /etc/NetworkManager/ and then right click on "nm-system-settings.conf"->properties->open with->text editor.

    I then sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf and then changed "managed=false" to "managed=true" and then save it. To get the applet to appear on the top panel, I had to put mouse pointer over top panel, right click->add to panel->Notification Area.
