[SOLVED] Network Applet Missing from Top Bar in Mageia 4

[kinu]

[*][*]Greeting Fellow Mageians.

Although I have no experience with Linux, I took the plunge and installed Mageia 4 Gnome on my Asus X200CA. Everything works well for a couple of small issues.
I cannot see the WiFi signal indicator and hence the list of available networks on the Tob Bar. I saw a thread : https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=8015&p=49854&hilit=netapplet#p49854 but it's for the KDE desktop and did not help me.

I also googled for notification area, netapplet and gnome 3. No Luck.

Any help in this regard would be great.

Thanks in advance.

What media did you use to install gnome? Usually it should come with networkmanager by default.
Anyways, net_applet should be in the notification area, in the bottom right corner that only shows on mouse-over.

Please provide the output of the following command:

Code: Select all

ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -ie net -e wpa

Dear Doktor

Thanks a lot. I found it on the bottom, although it does not list the available networks. It opens up the network in settings. That's okay, I can live with that. I used the 4.1 Gnome image for the install.

Thanks for the help. Now I am figuring out how to mark this as solved

If you want networkmanager, you can still install that. Check e.g. viewtopic.php?f=25&t=5782
