OK, I have to revert the message about network manager... Today it also failed on me with the 2.6.33-based kernel.
I found out that it's not a fault of nm-applet (it is irritating that it just does not show up when there is trouble) ... but rather sometimes the network manager daemon seems to be ill. On some boots it is not properly present. service network-manager restart usually helps to bring the nm-applet icon back and also restores functionality. It is generally frustrating that the system is not very verbose about whatever bothers it... nm-applet should draw an icon and tell me "Network Manager is there but does not talk to me". When started from terminal, it prints something about missing dbus service... Shall I make a separate bug report on that? Or should this one here get tagged for network-manager? Concerning the linux-rt kernel, at least the point about default graphics being messed up still applies. But the network-manager thing is apparently not specific to the kernel version. -- linux-rt being based on 2.6.31 seems to cause breakage with lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561288 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
