I started looking at what files nm-applet uses on startup and decided to delay the autostart of nm-applet to see if that would fix it. I editted the following file '/etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop' and change the following line from 'Exec=nm-applet' to 'Exec=sh -c "sleep 1; nm-applet" &'. I have rebooted about a dozen times now and the VPN option has came up everytime.
I have a netbook where I have done the same as my desktop, upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 to 12.10 and it functions as expected, although I have not removed the Indicator Plugin from the Panel like I did on the desktop. Is there anything further I can do to replicate the Session from that netbook? I just don't understand why it works there and not on the desktop with what appears to be the same configuration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/965895 Title: After boot, NetworkManager indicator menu only shows four entries To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/965895/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
