lost WIFI Network Manager

[Colin23erk]

My Wifi is working to my Router OK --I am connected to write this

I am not getting the Network Manager Icon on my Panel  so I cannot see what other Wifi networks are available or turn-off wifi etc

Tried reinstalling the network managers in Synaptic

Did an upgrade

Tried http://www.webupd8.org/2014/04/fix-lubun...nager.html -- directed there from Ubuntu Forum

To fix the Network Manager not showing up on the panel issue, from the Lubuntu menu select Preferences > Default applications for LXSession, then click on the Autostart tab and under "Manual autostarted applications" type "nm-applet", then click the "+ Add" button on the left:

I used Session & Startup > Application Autostart > Add --in Linux-Lite 2 and Restarted

Hi Colin

Is your volume control visible? I think volume control and networks are part of the 'indicator plugin' - maybe you have removed it? Try right-click on your panel then 'add items' and choose 'indicator plugin'.

Colin,
Does this work? At least until the panel icon is fixed.
Menu > Internet > Network Connections

In Notification Area, Known Applications, do you see Network Manager Applet? Like in in this example...

- it was installed by app as well

I have the same problem except I cant even follow how it was fixed I get
Failed to execute command "nm-connection-editor".
Failed to execute child process "nm-connection-editor" (No such file or directory)
my Volume control is also missing and Notification Area is grayed out in Add new items?
I am a complete novice

I am just going to install 2.4 hope that solves it  i think I deleted some packages to create some room.  and that is when it spazed out

Hello!

When Lubuntu 14.04 first came out, they forgot to tell it to run nm-applet on startup. It was fixed shortly afterward, and was never a problem in Linux Lite.

Turning Indicator Plugin on after having added nm-applet to run on startup would cause two network icons to appear, but you know that now...

Thanks for responding.
I am not sure I followed your reply I think that I deleted some stuff to make space I don't have blue-tooth on this laptop so I deleted some of those packages Willy nilly I probably knocked out something at that time. 
I solved it by installing 2.4. then I had to correct the normal broadcom wifi stuff the same way i did in 2.0.  I now have it running.
I am getting better at this but don't know if I will ever reach my windows level of ability (partly because Linux has not ever broken it always boots so its is more tweaking than anything)
Thanks for you help!
