Network Manager: system tray icon not showing #66

Closed q-pa closed 4 years ago

q-pa commented 5 years ago

Describe the bug A: Display system tray icon for my network card (em0) does not work. I can tick the box but after re-opening the manager the setting is gone. The tray icon never appears.

To Reproduce

  1. Plug-in ethernet cable
  2. Open Network Manager and choose ethernet card
  3. Check 'Display system tray icon'
  4. Apply

Expected behavior System try icon should be there and indicate whether a cable is plugged-in or not.

OS Version: Trident 18.12-U2-RELEASE

have you tried a different icon set?

q-pa commented 5 years ago

Not yet, just default installation. Never saw this in TrueOS.

RodMyers commented 5 years ago

all of the icons & themes changed once we became Project Trident

q-pa commented 5 years ago

Not at home right now. I can try a different icon set maybe on Sunday and report back.

q-pa commented 5 years ago

Tested different icon sets but it is the same with all of them. The checked box for the system tray icon is not persisting, btw.

RodMyers commented 5 years ago

Try this. log out, drop to a terminal, and type

mv .config/lumina-desktop/ .config/lumina-desktop-notworking

the log back in. this keeps the directory, but renames it.

See what happens with the default settings

q-pa commented 5 years ago

Sorry for the delay. Hope to find time to try it this weekend.

RodMyers commented 5 years ago

Create a new account, and see if the icons show on the tray

q-pa commented 5 years ago

Really sorry for the delay. Just tried it with a new account (I guess this should have the same effect as your first suggestion). It did not work, meaning the new test account also did not show a systray icon for the ethernet connection.

RodMyers commented 5 years ago

that makes no sense :-(

what are your desktop settings? icons/theme/etc

q-pa commented 5 years ago

I think those are still the default settings. Style: Fusion, dark, Icons: Le Trident (dark), Desktop style: darkglass. Only thing I changed were font sizes (10).

q-pa commented 5 years ago

FYI, I have another computer which only has an ethernet card and there is a systray icon although the box for the systray icon is unchecked.

What I also tried: disabling wifi (physical switch), restarting network, ethernet cable connected.

q-pa commented 5 years ago

Don't know if this has something to do with it... I think on my laptop (the one which does not show the systray icon) the ethernet cable was not connected during installation. On my desktop computer it was connected and here I have the icon.

RodMyers commented 5 years ago

still an issue?

q-pa commented 5 years ago

I am on 19.07 and it is still an issue.

RodMyers commented 4 years ago

no longer valid issue.
