[20:41] <solars> can anyone tell me how to get the nm-applet indicator in mythbuntu?
[20:44] <tgm4883> solars: have you tried starting nm-applet
[20:44] <solars> yeah, apparently something is missing with mythbuntu, but I don't know what
[20:44] <solars> it's the default in the distribution
[20:46] <tgm4883> solars: have you done updates?
[20:47] <solars> yes
[20:47] <tgm4883> OK, just a sec
[20:50] <tgm4883> solars: there was a bug in the 14.04 release of xubuntu where nm-applet wasn't starting at boot. It was fixed in 14.04.1, is this a mythbuntu 14.04 or 14.04.1 install (eg. which media did you use to install? Regular updates would get you to 14.04.1 but I'm not sure if that would resolve the issue)
[20:56] <solars> hmm, lsb_release says: Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release:        14.04
[20:57] <solars> but I tried starting it, etc
[20:58] <solars> the indicator just doesn't show up
[21:07] <tgm4883> solars: let me check my frontend, I might still be starting it manually
[21:11] <tgm4883> solars: try this  http://askubuntu.com/questions/449658/networkmanager-tray-nm-applet-is-gone-after-upgrade-to-14-04-trusty
[22:19] <solars> tgm4883: still not working :/
[22:20] <tgm4883> Hmm
[22:22] <solars> ah now I got it
[22:22] <solars> dbus-launch nm-applet
[22:22] <solars> works
[22:23] <tgm4883> solars: cool
[22:26] <solars> thanks for the hints!
