    No Network Manager? 10.04 Lucid

    EDIT: Solved by RIGHT CLICKING TOP PANNEL --> ADD TO THIS PANEL ---> NOTIFICATION AREA ---> RESTART

    Original Post
    Hmm.. trying to fix my wireless issue (doesn't show any wireless connection or even the option, just states Wired Network) and I have no "Network Manager".

    Did 10.04 do away with Network manager?
    All I have is

    System->Admin->Network Tools
    System->Preferences->Network Connections

    Code:
    *-network

    Network Manager is still present in 10.04... though there are several threads that mention it missing. It can be added back via the Notification Area... (once again, I'll need to search for a link).

    Re: No Network Manager? 10.04 Lucid

    greatly appreciate the help - while i have you here did you notice that my network is "UNCLAIMED"

    been trying to find threads to help fix it but haven't come across anything yet.
    Is this what is making me not able to see wireless connections?
    I have had an ethernet cord plugged into my laptop for over a week now and have to use windows when I leave the house

    Hey Iowan, I found this thread :: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1469625

    However it did not help me. First I tried
    Code:
    nm-applet --sm-disable
    That didn't work, this is what I got.
    Code:
    jb@jb-laptop:~$ nm-applet --sm-disable
    An instance of nm-applet is already running.
    
    ** (nm-applet:2081): WARNING **: <WARN>  constructor(): Couldn't initialize the D-Bus manager.
    another fix stated in the thread was enter the command
    Code:
    sudo edit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
    and change managed = false to true. however when i enter that command i get the following...
    Code:
    jb@jb-laptop:~$ sudo edit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
    Warning: unknown mime-type for "/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf" -- using "application/octet-stream"
    Error: no "edit" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"

    Try using nano or gedit for the editor:
    Code:
    sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
    or
    Code:
    gksudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
    Any luck adding the Notification Area back to the panel?

    thanks jschille and lowan for the solution.
    if this problem arise after a fresh installation, you might just need to reboot the system without any cable connected to your laptop after installing the driver. that's how mine solved on dell vostro with broadcom 4312

    Re: No Network Manager? 10.04 Lucid

    I've faced the missing-but-running network manager applet problem when (temporarily) switching from wicd to network-manager. This made the icon appear in the panel:
    Code:
    sudo service network-manager stop
    sudo service network-manager start
