Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome
This appears to be the same as Bug 284162, however 284162 has apparently since
been hijacked by a different source problem altogether. Here are the steps to
reproduce:
Preconditions: User 1 and User 2 have credentials to enable access to the same
wireless network. No wired networking is present.
1. Log in as user 1 on a fresh system
2. Note that we are now connected to the wireless network
3. Fast user switch to user 2
4. Note that no network manager applet is visible
5. Switch back to user 1 and logout
6. Switch to user 2's session
7. Note that the network manager applet is still not visible, and no network is
available. Firefox reports that we are offline.
My workaround is:
8. Run nm-applet from command-line
9. Note that applet appears, and successfully connects to the wireless network.
Debug output from nm-applet from the command-line follows:
** (nm-applet:18225): DEBUG: applet_common_device_state_changed
** (nm-applet:18225): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0
** (nm-applet:18225): DEBUG: applet_common_device_state_changed
** (nm-applet:18225): DEBUG: foo_client_state_changed_cb
** (nm-applet:18225): DEBUG: applet_common_device_state_changed
** (nm-applet:18225): DEBUG: applet_common_device_state_changed
** (nm-applet:18225): DEBUG: foo_client_state_changed_cb
** Affects: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu)
