good morning It seems after a change of theme of the desktop, (not sure about this), the nm-applet icon disappears and wired connection to network (and modem) was lost. The process worked fine from the begin. The process nm-applet is running in System Monitor. Ubuntu version: 10.04 Kernel: 2.6.32-30 generic Gnome: 2.30.2 Can you help? Rgds Jacques |
