Yes. Wait, if you don't want install it manually. The mirrors not all

Try a

Or get the RPMS directly from Red Hat and install it manually.

Don't need rpmfusion.  You just need to wait till the mirror you are
using syncs with the mother ship.

I got it and it works a treat.

Yes, it's nothing whatsoever to to with X or the panel or what not: if
you tail -f /var/log/messages while restarting NetworkManager you'll
see it segfaulting.

Switching to the old style network service has worked for me ... what

Are they definitely gone - not just invisible?  After an update earlier this 
week I now have the AC/battery icon and NetworkManager icon, but the power 
manager, kgpg, volume and the clipboard are invisible.  I know they are there, 
because hovering brings up the tooltip, and I can access the context menus 
(which is not easy when you can't see the icon :-) )

The nm-applet disappears if the NetworkManager service isn't running.
The problem is that NetworkManager is crashing, so the applet is running
but invisible.

If his Notification Area has disappeared from his panel, add it back in. 
 Then NetworkManager Applet will have someplace to run.  If the problem

Power Manager, NetworkManager Applet, Weather Report, and Volumne 
Applet.  I'd notice if all 5 disappeared from my panel


I have a friend who is now offline because of this update. I'm trying to
help him roll back the change. No rsync backup in this case...

Ideas?


/var/log/yum.log will record what packages were installed during the last 
update.


You will have to, painstakingly, locate and download the previous version of 
each package, and manually install them using rpm -U --oldpackage

  Hi All;
 
 
  I ran a yum update tonite and after a reboot I no longer had a copy of 
  the Network Manager in my system tray. Also I could no longer run the 
  Network Manager (nm-applet) from the command line. It ran but still 
  failed to show up in the system tray.
  nm_applet runs in the Notification Area.  Did you lose your Notification 
  Area?
 
  I have 5 different applets running in mine, including Bluetooth Manager, 
  Power Manager, NetworkManager Applet, Weather Report, and Volumne

 If his Notification Area has disappeared from his panel, add it back in. 
   Then NetworkManager Applet will have someplace to run.  If the problem 
 is something else, then, I'm sorry, I can't help.

It' something else for sure. The notification panel is intact.
NetworkManager is refusing to start and the entries for the ethernet
connection are also gone.

Re-creating them manually so of is not working either. I'm having him
switch it from NetworkManager to the old-style Network service. So far,
no dice...

Cheers,

Chris
