I managed to test this again unintentionally. I was testing a workaround (bug #284298) to save the WLAN settings to system settings, which as it happened didn't work, but did cause the settings to disappear from my users network configuration.
Rebooted, connection failed to come up before login. Logged in, still no connection, nm applet apparently not in systray. On examining processes, present are /usr/sbin/NetworkManager /usr/sbin/nm-system-settings --config /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf nm-applet --sm-disable Upon very careful clicking, the applet is present but has no icon. By clicking in the right place in the systray I could get the network menu and connect to the WLAN. At this point the "connecting spinner" appears, followed by the bar graph when the connection is established. -- Network Manager fails to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282835 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
