Lost network icon in taskbar

[raj]

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.

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.

Thanks. At work at moment, will try in a couple of hrs and post back .....

[raj]

Yes, that did it - many thanks

How was Enlightenment?

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.

[torreydale]

You can install the Control Center now using:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lite-controlcenter

You 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-restor...ous-state/) and create a system restore point.

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?

This kind of system modification is best left to experienced Linux users.

True enough. I've been using Linux for about 10 years but still don't know my way around it enough to sort out a hosed install. In future I'll try something like that on a VM.
