I reinstalled my F12 yesterday and suddenly found the little icon disappeared. Not sure if I accidently deleted it or something, my NetworkManger service is enabled and up running. the nm-applet is also running, but just no icon in the systray area.
I am using opensuse 11.3 64 Bit Gnome. The problem is the network manager & the bluetooth icon takes unnecessarily long time to load (2-3mins) & until it loads I cannot connect to the internet.
i'm running ubuntu 10.04 x86 on my laptop and the following problem occured recently; i made a mistake and tried to remove the monitors icon by finally removing more than i hoped for :/ BUT that didn't disappear the whole notification area...i was left with the wireless icon and the input language switcher so i can't restore the battery icon and the sound icon and the mail/chat envelope icon.
I upgraded from 9.0X to 10.04 on my Sony Vaio VGN-TZ398U which has an internal Sprint mobile broadband card. The card operates properly along with the wireless. The problem that I am having since upgrading is that the Network Manager Applet icon that looks like a cell phone bar display does not show in the notification area at all unless there is a known wireless (wifi) network nearby.
Clarification: If I am in my car, the icon does not show which then makes it impossible to connect using the mobile broadband functions of the Network Manager Applet ( version 0.8 ). If I am in my office with a known wireless network, the icon shows and then I can switch to the mobile card.
I have tried removing the notification area from the panel and adding it again. I have done the same with the indicator applet. Neither has solved this problem.
I use network manager applet 0.7.1. I had set the automatic wireless connection to my my wireless network (WPA key secured). Recently, I get the following problem: At the automatic connection, I get the message: Network manager applet (/usr/bin/mn-applet) needs default keyering. As I don't know what it is to type it and then, deny or OK, it doesn't get connected to my wireless network.
I'm having trouble with my java, I got it to isntall, restarted but when I go to any java based chat, or drawing site it doesn't load the applet, the applet shows up it just says "Start: Applet not initialized" Did I install it wrong?
I just installed it from stock, and I couldn't find system tray. I minimized pidgin and couldn't find the icon where I can click to restore the window anymore.
i have recently updated my KDE to 4.5.4.after the update i cant see the klipper systrayicon anymore. i tryed killing clipper and loading it from console. it will showup in systray for less than a second and disappear. i tryed deleting klipper config files but still no luck. what can i do?
Kubuntu 10.10 new install fully updated. Installed KDE 4.5.3 from Kubuntu PPA repo. Then installed Japanese language support. Two iBus icons are showing up in the KDE systray. One appears to be inactive when switching input method to Japanese. Known bug? Freak of nature? Workaround available?
how to add a language icon to AWN's systray ? Right now it shows only a generic icon, so I can't see which language do I use... (I'm using ubuntu 10.10 x86_64)
I use kubuntu 10.10 . used to use krandrtray once in a while but recently i installed the cairo-dock (and got rid of the bar at the bottom) so since the krandrtray works only with the systray and the one with cairo isn't really visible , does anybody know of an alternative to krandrtray ?
As in the title - When I use truecrypt it (normally) puts an icon in the systray. I need to click on this icon when i've finished with the volume in order to unmount the volume and exit the program. This is very important as I share this volume across computers and it can't be mounted on more than one at a time.
However the icon does not play with the new unity DE, not showing up at all, and leaving me with only one option - to open a terminal and find and kill all TC processes. Obviously killing processes in this way is technically not ideal and is time consuming too.
I was on this fedora OS, Im not sure whats the version.Was running this application, when i tried to minimize it, it disappear.As the guy who install this application has left, I do not know which folder he installed to. hence i used "whereis" and manage to search out the application.I clicked on the application, it load, but it was a enlarged version. after that it just hanged.--Will a hard reboot solve this problem?We tried getting someone to reboot the system, (he said he did) but I still seeing the same thing(application hanged) on my remote console.i know, that need to find the process to kill it, but at the moment i cant even access the cli/command prompt to enter the kill process command
We got a power outage yesterday. When my PC went back on, I noticed the Date and Time display disappeared along with the System Tray. How do I get these back? By the way, I only see the icons for printer, networkmanager and pulseaudio applet on the Taskbar at the bottom.
I have a problem updating packages when using the kpackagekit systray notifier, it fails with the error "failed to obtain authentication".I've looked around and can't find any log output of this.If i start kpackagekit from the menu it all works fine, but not this way.This is with kubuntu 10.10, upgraded from 10.04, it did actually work before.
when I hit the shutdown option... I notice my Hibernate and Sleep button are gone... just the other 3 buttons are there.I wonder if it's certain apps I'm running (that can't be allowed to go into Hibernate) or if it just happens at random for no reason.Has anybody else had this problem? and what is causing this?
The problem is after I change wallpaper, logout and log back in the wallpaper reverts back to the previous wallpaper. Here's what I did from fc10 64-bit:
From System->Preferences->Look And Feel->Appearance choose Background tab. Frolm Background tab click Add button and browse for the .jpg in ~/Wallpaper
Now wallpaper changes but doesn't persist on logout. Could a folders or config file have the wrong permissions?
I cant use the option "export" from the VPN settings in the Gnome Network Manager, when I tried to export a popup says "Unknown error"This happend also in 11.3 and now in 11.4, so it is a nm-applet problema I think... Is there any other way to export my VPN connections?
I thought I was removing the chat status piece of the indicator applet (I know what it is now, didn't then), but I accidentally removed the whole thing. Now when I figured out how to put it back on the panel, I can't get it back to where it was (which was to the RIGHT of the system date/time applet). How can I do this as well as move the indicator applet that has the volume control in it?
I was using both the Indicator Applet and the Notification Area applets in my panel but realized that very often when I started the system, the icons of these applet appeared mixed. Some items were duplicated (for example the keyboard indicator) where others were missing (sometimes the battery indicator, sometimes the sound indicator, etc). When that happened I had to remove them and add them to panel again.
This seems to be a bug that makes one applet interfere with the other (maybe because there are some items that appear in both but when you add both initially nothing is duplicated but after a system restart the problem happens).After searching for some way to fix this apparent bug without success I decided to remove the Indicator applet and keep just the Notification Area.
It works but then I don't have the sound applet anymore, because it was part of the Indicator Applet. I searched for a standalone sound applet but I couldn't find any. Do you know of any such applet that I could install in the system? If I can find any it would be fine to me and I would be satisfied using just the Notification Area.
I'm running F14 on an Intel i5 processor with a NVidia GT340 graphics card. Installation works great. Compiz Fusion runs too. At this point, the panels are a little unpredictable, in the sense that some items on the panels disappear and appear as they please; changes only come during startup. The userswitcher is usually absent (but not always). The show desktop icon is sometimes absent, and on a very rare occasion, the desktop switcher is invisible. For all of these items, space is reserved in the panel, and when manually added to the panels, that space is left blank; I can not move anything into that space. It remains reserved for the item that isn't shown.
Then I install conky. First installation works fine, shows all things that are called upon in the .conkyrc file nicely. It works fine until I click anything - even on blank space - on the desktop. Conky then disappears. The process continues to run, but it's no longer displayed. Upon reboot, all of my panels disappear, and I have no idea how to get them back. When I uninstall conky everything works again as before (the userswitcher being the least predictable item on my panels). When I reinstall conky, and add it to my startup items, it shows for a couple of seconds after log-in after which it disappears. I assume - but don't know how to check as I have no panels left so how can I run the system monitor - that the process keeps running, but it isn't displayed.
Had ubuntu for a few years left came back last month. I lost the indicator applet in the panel. I don't know what I did to get it back. I feel like this is a very very simple thing to fix but I just can't find it. Here is a pic of what i'm talking about.
Running FC13 on Dell E6410. Everything was great until I ran the latest update about a week back. I started to see (or actually not see) that after resume from sleep the mouse cursor will disappear. It is there, just not work showing. If i click on left click on the desktop I get the menu, I can also "see" going over windows from time to time as I move it. I'm currently running 2.6.33.6-147.fc13.i686.PAE I think previously it was /vmlinuz-2.6.33.5-124.fc13.i686.PAE Nvidia driver is 195.36.31
I removed the "indicator applet" from the default gnome panel at the top of the default Lucid desktop. Doing so resulted in me losing the ability to control the sound from the panel, which I value so I put it back.Once I restored the indicator applet to the panel, the nm-applet went missing. I'm still connecting to my home network with no problem, so the function is there, but the little icon that updates when you're trying to connect, shows signal strength, and other available networks is now missing. This I've searched the problem and haven't found any solutions that work, I think because of the new applet integration, but I'm very surprised this hasn't been found by someone yet!
