Topic: [solved] nm-applet gone?

Hi guys

i did a dist-upgrade this morning, and now nm-applet has gone away??

apt-cache show nm-applet

returns

N: Unable to locate package nm-applet
E: No packages found

Any ideas? For the moment I am using a wired connection, and I will install wicd if there is no other way - but I find it strange that nm-applet disappeared?

thanks

Andreas

try

apt-cache show network-manager

you're not the only one; see:

basically you just have to manually install it...

Re: [solved] nm-applet gone?

See if this brings it back?

sudo service networking start
sudo service network-manager restart

If it does then, you just need to reinstall the NM-applet.

Come to think of it, after a Kernel upgrade, recently ... I had to re-install " network-manager-gnome " from the Synaptic Manager.
