We, since Plasma 5.5.x, started ignoring virtual devices (bridge, bond, team) in the applet's systray icon and since Plasma 5.6.x we started ignoring them completely in the applet. The icon you see means that you have plugged in the ethernet cable and you can activate/create an ethernet connection. Btw. that part of code you are looking for is not implemented in QML, but you can find it in libs/declarative/connectionicon.cpp Can be closed as this is not a bug. Bulk transfer as requested in T17796 |
Created attachment 98419 [details] plasma-nm icon with blue highlight Perhaps not a bug but I couldn't find any documentation on what the meaning of the attached icon is. It happened after I implemented a bridge for libvirt. My connection works fine, and I have two bridges (one for NAT and one for Bridge networking in virt-manager/libvirt) I briefly trying to understand the QML for org.kde.plasma.networkmanagement but failed. Can someone explain what this is trying to convey? Am I missing documentation for this behavior somewhere?
