Re: NetworkManager Applet 0.8 Icon
It seems (from the logs) that it wasn't able to correctly download the indexes for the repositories, so it may have been confused about what it was to delete. Also, I'm not sure installing over the top of a previous version is actually supported, even though it lets you install without formatting. I've had one failed install with the exact same results as you. Someone else (on Ubuntu Forums) was able to do this fine, which was good because their /home was on the same partition as /. Some people are born lucky. :-) It's not guaranteed to work, and my feeling is that 11.04 as it is on the LiveCD is quite buggy. None of my installs have worked properly until I managed to run the updates, and that goes for both Ubuntu 11.04 and Xubuntu 11.04 - The LiveCDs won't even work on one of my machines. I'd bet that if you do a proper clean install and format / then it will be fine. If you get errors but the system is still working, run the updates and you should be fine. The same thing goes if you can't start the desktop environment but can get a terminal to do the updates. Also, before you install from the LiveCD you should check the MD5SUM as published. Having the LiveCD work flawlessly is no guarantee that you got a good download or did a good burn, or that the installer will work correctly. I generally check the MD5SUM of the downloaded ISO, and then burn it (if I'm doing so - USB installs are standard for me now) at the slowest rate, then check the burnt disk for errors. Chris.

I'm having a little difficulty with a freshish install of Natty. I'm attempting to install a fresh copy over two previous Ubuntu partitions - '/' and '/home'. When the installation progress reaches the Removing Packages stage Ubiquity crashes and throws up a message asking me to file a bug on Launchpad. The live CD seemingly works flawlessly. I've provided my Launchpad bug link below with the two logs requested but would appreciate any additional advice on resolving this issue.

Re: NetworkManager Applet 0.8 Icon
Hello, thanks for your reply The network manager is checked in and seems to work. I have installed exactly the same version of Ubuntu on my partners computer and on my laptop and desktop. Both my partners computer and my laptop show an 'up/down arrow icon in the toolbar which can be used to connect/disconnect etc but is not present on the desktop. It is this icon that I wish to regain. Thanks David On 01/06/11 22:42, OPM595 wrote: Is Network Manager checked in: System Startup Applications Network Manager (ticked etc)?

People most often try to remove the social networking icon or the me icon and find that other things disappear as well. I think many of us who don't use social networking just learn to leave the indicator icon for it alone and ignore it since removing it deletes other stuff as well. Try adding the notification area back to the top panel (right click and Add to Panel...) and then reboot. I don't know why the reboot is necessary but the indicator applet is always reloaded and reset on a reboot. There's no nm-indicator applet that can be added to the top panel in this way; I think this is because it automatically links to the notification area and/or the indicator applet and gets displayed. It's also not possible to move the nm-indicator icon around as it always appears to the far right - if you move all your indicators around it will eventually finish up at the far right corner of the screen. Sometimes moving the indicators is a good idea - I've heard of the nm-indicator applet being stuck (hidden) behind one of the others.
