Thanks for the information. After looking through the data you've provided, it seems that this is actually the intended behaviour of Network Manager. The reason you see this is because you have no managed devices. This is because you have your network configuration statically defined in /etc/network/interfaces. With this configuration, Network Manager won't manage your device.
If you want to keep the static configuration, but have Network Manager manage your device, you can remove the "auto eth0" line from your /etc/network/interfaces. However, this won't work yet due to bug 279262. I'm going to close this bug as invalid, as this is actually the intended behaviour with your configuration. Please feel free to report any other problems you find. ** Changed in: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- NetworkManager applet says "No valid active connections found!" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305606 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
