Description of problem: Applet is not visible in notification area until some connection is established. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): network-manager-applet-1.0.2-1.fc22.x86_64 mate-panel-1.10.1-1.fc22.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in using MATE session 2. Ensure that no active connection is established and ethernet cable is unplugged 3. Try to connect to any wireless/mobile network ;-) Actual results: There's no nm-applet icon visible even though nm-applet and notificaiton-area-applet are running Expected results: Visible icon of nm-applet in notification area Additional info: Workaround is to use nmcli. I think that the icon was visible in Fedora 21...
I don't know whether nm-applet is supposed to run in MATE, or the DE uses its own networking applet. Anyway, can you check, in terminal, whether nm-applet is running $ ps aux | grep nm-applet Does the icon appear when you start nm-applet manually? $ nm-applet What do you get with $ tail -n 10 /usr/share/applications/nm-applet.desktop Check any MATE related autostart script/file.
Ofcourse the nm-applet is running. Plugging the ethernet cable correctly "wakes up" the applet and it becomes visible. Restarting NetworkManager service does the trick too (and it works even when there's no active connection).
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Hm, this is weird. Can't reproduce in Xfce and GNOME; mate-panel seems to want to drag in 150 M of dependencies :( I'm wondering if you can try running the applet in some other DE to check if the issue is specific to the mate-panel?
