Description Matthew Cline 2016-08-14 01:33:36 UTC

If I do "sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service" networking works just fine after the restart, but the network icon/widget disappears from the system tray.

Reproducible: Always




Nothing about NetworkManager or "nm" appears in $HOME/.xsession-errors

Plasma-nm is loaded based on whether NetworkManager is running by checking its D-Bus service. I guess there is some problem with re-checking the availability on plasma side. Is the problem reproducible everytime?

Comment 2 Matthew Cline 2016-08-20 02:26:10 UTC

Trying to reproduce it some, it seems to actually be intermittent.  Also, on one of the network restarts the NM systray icon was still present though it wasn't working, and didn't disappear until  I tried clicking on it.

Looking in /var/log/messages, I see these lines which might be relevant:

Comment 4 Jan Grulich 2016-09-06 09:25:46 UTC

I'm not sure whether this is actually a bug in plasma-nm, because it's plasmashell who loads/unloads applets based on DBus services.
