I use pppoeconf to connect to my ADSL connection using the ethernet port. And I lost my panel applet after I configured my ADSL connection (this is also the case with other people on the forum thread I linked below). Before that, on a clean lucid install, the applet was appearing normally and I could connect to my University's wireless networks. Here's what I get when I type "nm-applet" in the terminal: ** (nm-applet:2271): WARNING **: <WARN> constructor(): Couldn't initialize the D-Bus manager.
This forum post gives a method for restoring the nm-applet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9236722&postcount=16 This can be used as a workaround until they get it fixed. This method is explained in the file /usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian. Read that to get an idea of what is actually being done there. This is just an alternate approach to the one as described by miked1981 in this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/456468 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/456468/comments/12). This method somewhat like the one complementary of the one given above by Enrico Sardi. And this is what my .xsession-errors has to say: ** (nm-applet:1832): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0 ** (nm-applet:1832): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0 And I got the above outputs when I was not using the workaround described in the thread. There's a similar bug over here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager- applet/+bug/589362 -- nm-applet does not show in indicator applet after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577678 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
