** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Opinion => Confirmed ** Description changed: Why should I always have the wired connection icon visible? Does it notify me I am connected by wire? Well, I'm always connected with wire, so I know it. Actually, there is no other way to connect my computer, so this "notification" doesn't notify me. I understand that someone will see WiFi signal strength or BT modem connected or something more exotic instead of this unplugged jack. But for wired people to be connected is like a default state. They don't need to be notified about that. No new information — no notification icon. Having stable wired connection also means generally you need nothing to change. So user doesn't need a "shortcut" icon on the taskbar to change his connection settings every 10 minutes. And if he does, he could put some applet manually. No I 'm unable even to get rid of this icon manually. I have to patiate it, which frustrates me a lot. + + <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#Settings>: "At the bottom left of + the panel should be a 'Show network status in the menu bar' checkbox." -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/461427 Title: Wired connection icon is useless if you always use wired connection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/461427/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
