Network indicator disappeared in Lubuntu [closed]
I just upgraded to Lubuntu 14.04 from 13.10 successufully, via do-release-upgrade
.
But after reboot, I found that the network indicator has been disappeared, so I cannot switch different network connection as before in 13.10 or 12.04, and cannot use VPN by clicking.
I tried:
- add item with name containing 'network' for indicator bar right below
- open item in menu with name containing 'network'
But none of these is the network indicator (switcher) that we use in 13.10.
Does 14.04 change to another network indicator?
Is there alternative indicator for this, or any command
for network switch.
Solution 1:
You can right click on panel, choose "Add remove panel item", then at tab "Panel Applets" press "Add" button, then choose "Manage networks". Now at the panel you'll have two network icons, one for cable and one for wireless connections
If you prefer the traditional Network applet, open Lxterminal and just type the word: nm-applet
Now at the panel you'll have the traditional "up and down arrows" indicating the Network Manager to make changes. Notice that when you close the Lxterminal, the icon will dissapeasr again.
Have luck
