< SOLVED > Internet Connectivity Icon: Where The Hell Did It Go ?
« on: November 19, 2012, 10:18:46 AM »
I never get simple problems. I always get one's that no one else has ever had. I can live with that but it does get frustrating.

Short Version:
                       New Minime Install.

                       Installed ,updated, added a couple applications. No problem.

                       Upon rebooting internet connectivity icon is missing in right hand panel.

                       No where to be found.

                       Did all the things I know about to try and get it back. NO GOOD !

                       Forum search came up empty.

                       Please tell me where it is.

                       Thank you.

is that the wee green tick in a circle?  if so, it's net applet and in your menu somewhere.  (i'm using kde, so i could be horribly wrong).

Well it is MiniMe so it is KDE.

Mine is the wifi icon with green bars. Which is still the net applet.

Well, I could not find that anywhere It should have been under more applications/ monitoring.
Not there.
Can I get that back through synaptic?

Yes, did all of that. I thought it was a widget so I have been treating it like that while searching.
As I said in my last post, is it in synaptic?

The Net applet comes with the package drakx-net. (On 64 bit the current version is 0.87-12pclos2012.)

Thanks BaldBrick.

Now I can't even get online with that computer. I just booted up this one to see if I could help the other one.
If I am able to get back online with the other one I will reinstall drakx-net and see what happens.

Well, I have learned another new thing today. That is good. Thank you very much.

Bald Brick you saved the day. I was finally able to make a connection and I went and reinstalled drakx-net from synaptic. Instant fix. The applet is back. I can see wireless networks and it connected quite fast.

Now that this is known, I hope others will be helped.

Now on to more productive endeavors.  ;)

I read this with interest today.  Here is why!  Today when I started my computer my icon also was gone.  I was online everything was fine but no icon in the panel, lower right side.  So sometimes when all else fails I restart the computer.  I did and the icon was back.  If it was April 1st then I would say someone was playing around.  But it isn't so I have no idea.

Yours was an easy fix Grandpa. Actually mine was an easy fix too, but I didn't know it.  :D
