Today I saw it again and scanning on the terminal didn't work. Tried with "nmcli d wifi list" which showed the networks available on the terminal, but not on the applet. In the end, I added the new network by hand, which worked and got me connected, but it was annoying. I then turned on a hotspot my computer knew, and it got connected right away - could it be that it's not *displaying* the networks, but it does scan them?

In these cases, the list of available Wifis can be just outdated or directly empty. Switching Wireless on/off and Network on/off doesn't trigger a scan. Usually running sudo iwlist <interface> scan on a terminal makes the wifi networks available immediately in nm-applet I'm using 16.04 (ubt had the same problem on 15.10) network-manager-gnome: Installed: 1.2.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1630336/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
