2012-11-22 Thread Matthew Sturdy
Hi, Just noticed today that the network-manager icon in the top right has stopped responding. When I click on it, it opens the normal menu, and I can see available networks, and the normal options... but when I click on them, it closes the menu, but does nothing, regardless of the option I select

Hi Guys I'm running Xubuntu 10.4. A couple of days ago I downloaded a routine update which required a reboot to complete. After that I had no wireless connectivity and no Network Manager applet (nm-applet) icon in the notification area. Following much experimentation I discovered I could get w

Thanks Alan - it's easier than reinstalling the whole laptop! I fiddled for all of 5 mins with IP setups but got impatient and just ripped out the network-manager thinking it'd make life easier in the long-term.

Wasn't trying to set up a static IP, was wanting to re-configure an HP ProCurve access point which had been playing up and was connected directly to the laptop's ethernet NIC at the time - I'd just disconnected it from it's normal perch on a Draytek router. Access points aren't willing to load web

Ah well, we live in hope! I do celebrate the ease of connecting wifi it gives but the network manager has been an repetitive nightmare whilst it teethes. > Behold: ntrack! > > http://minimoesfuerzo.org/2010/03/12/testing-ntrack/ > > https://launchpad.net/ntrack > > Al > > -- > The Open Lea

The network manager from 9.04 onwards drives me up the wall! I'm now using Lucid and I needed to install a wireless access point, the network manager wouldn't let me connect to its interface so I had to remove the network manager and put wicd on instead. OK, now I could set up the wireless access
