Using Ubuntu 14.04 with Mate 1.8.0. I can't figure out how to add Network Manager to the panel.
My wifi works but if I'm at a new location where I need to connect to a new network, I have to select Unity at login, connect to the network and then boot back into Mate. I stay connected in Mate and everything works fine but this is a real pain.
Network Manager isn't listed in the options when I try adding applets to the panel
If it go to a terminal and type nm-applet it starts up and then shows up in the panel (and works)
If I go to /usr/shared/app-installed/desktop and double click on Network it shows up in the panel (and works). What's odd is that there are 2 files named network in this folder but as long as I double click on the right one, network manager starts and runs fine.
I've edited /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and changed managed=false to read managed=true (saw this in a post)
I've uninstalled and reinstalled network-manager-gnome with not change
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
