@fourdollars, I installed your ppa in #120 above. Unfortunately I could not detect any significant change compared to the latest released versions. Following are my notes from my tests. The test PC has a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 install with all updates. The wifi interface name is wlp1s0 and there is no wired ethernet hw in the PC.
First tests done before installing the test ppa. The tests where run in the exact sequence as listed. Action. - Result 1 Initial start of PC. - nm-applet ok 2 Radio HW off-on. - nm-applet not connected, no APs listed 3 service network-manager restart. - after long delay (>30s), connected, APs listed 4 suspend/resume. - not connected, no APs listed 5 service network-manager restart. - nm-applet ok 6 radio HW off-on. after long delay, works ok, APs listed 7 suspend/resume. - after long delay, works ok, APs listed 8 radio hw off-on. - nm-applet ok 9 shut down 10 start PC. - nm-applet ok 11 disable/enable networking (nm-applet menu option). nm-applet shows up/down arrow, no APs 12 listed, connection working 12 service network-manager restart. - nm-applet ok 13 suspend/resume. - nm-applet ok 14 disable/enable networking. - long delay until connecting, APs listed 15 Shut down Started PC Installed fourdollars ppa and verified that "test1" versions had been installed. 16 Restarted PC. - nm-applet ok 17 radio hw off/on. - nm-applet not connected, no APs listed, after very long delay up/down arrows 18 killall nm-applet && nm-applet & exit. - nm-applet ok 19 radio hw off/on. - not connected, no APs listed, after long delay up/down arrows, connection working 20 service network-manager restart. - nm-applet ok 21 suspend/resume. - nm-applet ok 22 disable/enable networking. - nm-applet ok 23 suspend/resume. - nm-applet ok 24 shut down 25 start PC. nm-applet ok 26 suspend/resume. - up/down arrows, no APs listed, connected 27 killall nm-applet && nm-applet & exit. - nm-applet ok 28 suspend/resume. - up/down arrows, no APs, connected 29 service network-manager restart. - nm-applet ok 30 radio hw off/on. - nm-applet ok 31 Restart PC. - nm-applet ok 32 radio hw off/on. - not connected, no APs listed 33 killall nm-applet && nm-applet & exit. - not connected, no APs listed 34 service network-manager restart. - long delay until connected, APs listed 35 radio hw off/on. - nm-applet ok I hope these tests can be of some use... as noted earlier, it appears as if the problem goes away after "sudo service network-manager restart". The "killall nm-applet && nm-applet & exit" will make the nm-applet work ok, but only until next disabling event be it suspend/resume, hw switch off/on or sw disable/enable. In addition to this documented test I have experienced the two problem symptoms (no wifi connection and or incorrect network icon and no APs listed in the nm-applet) on 7 different PCs all with Ubuntu 16.04 with latest updates. All the PCs have different HW (incl wifi) and are of widely different ages. In fact I only have one PC that has not exhibited any of the problems. That PC is running Lubuntu 16.04. It is my experience that the "sudo service network-manager restart" command will correct the problem situation about 70% of the times and when that command is not correcting the problem the "killall nn-applet && nm-applet & exit" command will correct the problem in most of the remaining cases, however there are a few occasions when neither command will correct the situation. Sorry for the long post, but I hope it helps locating the bug(s). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589401 Title: cannot view wifi networks after re-enabling wifi Status in NetworkManager: Confirmed Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: after re enabling wifi, up-down arrows just like wired network. cannot see any wifi ssid.
