Lost network icon in taskbar - raj - 08-17-2015
A bit self inflicted perhaps, but I tried to install another desktop (enlightenment/E17), then removed it and now I've lost the wifi icon where I access my VPN. I assume these 2 things are related. I can't find any way to get it back.
Re: Lost network icon in taskbar - torreydale - 08-17-2015
Raj,
You should still be able to view network connections via the Network Connections app located at Menu->Settings->Network Connections.
To get your wifi indicator to return to the panel, try this:
1) Menu->Settings->Panel
2) Go to the Items tab
3) Hit the + button located on the right
4) Select Indicator Plugin
5) Hit the +Add button
If my hunch is correct, your wifi icon will reappear.

How was Enlightenment?

Didn't look too good. I'm not sure whether it's still being developed. It certainly wasn't worth the mess it seems to have made of my LL2.4 install. I've also lost the LL splash screen on start up, and it shows the XFCE login page with the huge black mouse. Not a disaster, but irritating none-the-less. I'm hoping updating to 2.6 ControlCentre when released will restore it.
Re: Lost network icon in taskbar - torreydale - 08-17-2015
You can install the Control Center now using:
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lite-controlcenterYou might be able to fix your bootup using the Bootup Fix option in Lite Tweaks (Menu->System->Lite Tweaks).
Whenever you get things back to normal, install Systemback (http://www.unixmen.com/systemback-restore-linux-system-previous-state/) and create a system restore point.
Re: Lost network icon in taskbar - raj - 08-17-2015
Wow that is such a useful util. I've never had a proper look round LL so didn't know about that one. I assumed systemback would only be available in the 2.6 updgrade?
