[xubuntu-users] The Network Manager applet has vanished from the top panel in Ubuntu 8.10

[daan]

Hello Alok,

I followed your advice. The system responded:

Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.

then I typed: sudo ifup eth1

the answer was:

ifup: interface eth1 already configured


Another Linux user thought that the Notification Area icon had vanished
from the top panel line, and suggested to bring it back again via Add to
Panel, Notification Area, Add. 
And this turned out to be the solution to the problem. So, I am back in
business again!. I am very glad that I can use Ubuntu again.

Thank you very much for your help,

kind regards,

Daniel
