Same here with xfce and 14.04 nm-applet is shown as running process (ps ax), but no icon is shown. Starting it with sudo (sudo nm-applet) make the icon appear.
INHO: Since it affects several distributions, the affected packed should be changed to "nm-applet" and not "lxpanel", hence the same issu doesn't need to have the same bug-report just with other distributions and panel-packages -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308348 Title: network settings indicator missing from panel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel/+bug/1308348/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
