Hello,
I am on sat. Internet and I like to DISCONNECT from the internet so I
know if something decides to run away with my data while I am not on
the computer, it will not happen because I essencially disconnect from
the internet.
But when clicking on the 2 blinking computer icons in the tray and
right clicking and going to DISCONNECT nothing happens, I am still
connected it does not matter what I click on disconnect, repair,
connect...
Is there a work around for this and why does the icons not work?
Thanks,
Christopher
Hi
Are you using nm-applet?
Obviously (as you surely know all ready) you can manually disconnect the
Ethernet cable, or if it is wireless and you have a hardware switch you
can use that.
If you are using nm-applet it should work to disconnect via the GUI, not
entirely sure why it wouldn't. How are you starting nm-applet for your
network?
Hello,
its just the one thats built in when you log in.... Its a picture of 2
computers flashing next to the vol control. I havent installed
anything extra

Hi!
Did you have to enable it in the panel in your autostart from the
Settings? Or did you add it to the panel?
If you added it to the panel I suggest removing it and starting nm-applet.
You can open a terminal and type:
nm-applet &disown
To start automatically it add nm-applet to the autostart in the
Settings.. If you need help doing this, we can give more info!
OKAY.... I tried adding @nm-applet and just nm-applet to start up though
the gui but I never seen the arrows icon show up in the tray by the
clock until I open terminal and do sudo nm-applet.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Christopher
