Hi Marc, I just remembered >From this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes/Lubuntu
Network indicator on the panel may not start at login. You can start it manually by launching "nm-applet" in a terminal. Some others autostarted applications may also be affected (such as automatic updates). See 1308348 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308348> for the details and the ETA for the fix. To turn on nm-applet in autostart, follow these instructions <http://www.webupd8.org/2014/04/fix-lubuntu-1404-network-manager.html> It may need two reboots to fully work. But, you are saying you can try installing ANY derivative of Ubuntu 14.04 and have this issue? I have also tried, and installed Xubuntu and Ubuntu 14.04 also and have only had this issue in Lubuntu. It is always a good idea to read the release notes, for issues like this one. Also, it is a good idea to make sure you have the full image, by checking the md5sum. I usually install zsync. That way if my md5sum is off I can just zsync the file and it will fix it, without having to re-download everything.
