Title:
nm-applet menu entries missing when booting with network cable
connected
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When booting with network cable plugged in and the wireless switch in
the disabled position (hardware switch), the nm-applet is missing some
menu entries.
Normally it should display the wired network and the configured wired
connections. It should allow display the vpn entry if configured.
Instead only the following entries are available
Enable Networking (flagged)
Enable Wireless (disabled/grayied out)
Connection Information
Edit Connections...
I have multiple wired connections configured, so at least the nm-applet
should list them and allow me to choose from. Also, I could not connect to any
configured VPN as the menu entry is not displayied.
The network-manager connects to the last used autoconnect network, so the
networking is functional. The nm-appled correctly displays the wired network
connected symbol in the tray icon.
Chosing Edit connections the dialog lists all the configured
connections correctly.
Enabling the wireless card with the hardware switch causes the nm-
applet to display all the missing menu entries and allow to select the
right wired connection also.
Booting with the wireless enabled causes no problem. Also booting and
plugging the cable after the logon causes no issue.
