In fact, it isn't running. If it were, you'd see that 'color' line, plus one
above it like  -
jack 10187 0.0 0.4 481148 pts/0 Sl 09:08 0:08 nm-applet --sm-disable
jack 10938 0.0 0.0 9132    pts/0 S+ 13:37 0:00 grep --color=auto nm-applet

The first one is an active process running nm-applet; the second is an
active process running grep (looking for nm-applet)...

The other text you're seeing is telling you that it isn't installed and
offering a suggestion to "try sudo apt-get install <selected package>",
which decomposes to -
sudo (execute a command as an admin)
apt-get (repository command)
install (argument to install a package)
<selected package> - one of either network-manager-gnome or
mythbuntu-diskless-client - In this case you'll probably want
network-manager-gnome.
