Well, I've got three installations which this affects - all three were upgrades from 8.04 to 8.10 and kubuntu-desktop added. Here's what I did to fix it (at least, it works for me):
* Edited /etc/xdg/autostart/knetworkmanager-autostart.desktop and added the following line: OnlyShowIn=KDE; * Edited /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop and added the following line: OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE; * Issued "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" to switch to gdm, rebooted, logged in as GNOME session, and then only nm-applet appeared. * Issued "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" to switch to kdm, rebooted, logged in as KDE session, and then only KNetworkManager appeared. I didn't test w/ XFCE, but I'm sure it'll work there as well. As always, your mileage may vary... -- KNetworkManager and nm-applet both start if gnome and kde are installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280978 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
