nm-applet icon

Post by devi »

I have installed lxde on sabayon 5.2 with networkmanager and nm-applet. i followed this wiki http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXSession to install them so i made:
1. put the row

Code: Select all

 @nm-applet 
in ~/.config/lxdesession/LXDE/autostart
2. put the file nm-applet.desktop in ~/.config/autostart
3. i deleted the row

Code: Select all

"OnlyShowIn=Gnome"
in my ~/.config/autostart/nm-applet.desktop.
but when i reboot the nm-applet icon dont display on system tray.
Some ideas?

Hi,

What happens when manually starting nm-applet in console? What version of LXSession are you using?

btw: desktop file OR line in "autostart" should wok, too. Only one way is needed, afaik.

I prefer the file, but this is personal preference.

Wired. What may cause problems, are the daemons in the background, if they are not ready/started, the client may fails to connect to the daemon and quits.

daemons are services running in the background. it depends on your distro, some have graphic tools to view and edit them.

Right click on panel and choose "add/remove from panel" the rest should be self-explanatory.
