ok, so i went through the synaptic list again... to try and find the right applet and i found gnome-status-applet (installed) version 2.28.0, which coincides with the "About" information. So obviously this is not the correct applet.
So I unistalled this, but lo and behold, after a restart the applet is gone and no option is available in the applet menu. Any ideas? How can i get the network-manager applet? ** Attachment added: "synaptic_applet.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1181330/+attachment/3679662/+files/synaptic_applet.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181330 Title: network-manager-gnome applet doesn't show options To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1181330/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
