Thread: nm-applet not working properly

hi everybody

i've been having problems wireless internet connection.

whenever boot computer, notification area in top bar, network manager applet not show. when open gnome-system-monitor see nm-applet --sm-disable running, should, still doesn't show up.

what's more is, unable connect wireless network result of this. have tried doing manually through iwconfig, not support passphrases, , cannot past point, register essid. when doing manually have noticed after specify essid wlan not associate access point.

eventually, though, nm-applet magically appear in notification area , and authentication screen appear, prompting me enter networks wpa or wpa2 passphrase. no matter how many times enter passphrase still have enter again next time reboot. anyway, after fill in passphrase , press enter, window freezes. after 5 minutes waiting unfreezes , connection established.

have tried searching web solution, no 1 seems have specific problem. it's nm-applet not running or somehow lost notification area or that. resort writing in here. not it's bad thing. hoped solve more or less on own.

i'm not actual linux geek, i'm not familiar inner workings , how mess around config files , whatnot. i've tried knew safe do. reinstalled network-manager-gnome , network-manager packages, hoping trick, didn't.

hope out there has suggestions. if need log information happy post it, i'm not sure relevant , not. there many log files in system log viewer

cheers

if panel not open , show in normal way can restart command in terminal.

code:

killall gnome-panel
