This is how you get nm-applet back...

*sudo nm-applet* is not good, you might have some "privileges" errors...

                    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

Well, Heres what I had to do.... None of that worked on that webpage I had to do what one of the comments suggested:


Dimitrios Charalampidis <http://www.webupd8.org/2014/04/fix-lubuntu-1404-network-manager.html#> • a month ago <http://www.webupd8.org/2014/04/fix-lubuntu-1404-network-manager.html#comment-1348963619>

This fix does not work for everybody... if that's the case for you, too.. then try this: go to menu >Preferences > Default applications for LXSession, select the autostart tab and scroll to find Network. Uncheck it and recheck it, then go to your home folder and press ctrl+h to show hidden files and folders, go to .config/autostart, there you will find a Network.desktop file right click on it and select Leafpad, it is likely that under NotShowIn section it includes LXDE just delete it, save the file and exit, then log out and login again this will fix the issue.


I now see the two arrows. instead of the windows 2000 two blinking computers.
