NM applet dropdown options not working

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2283 / 2 Years ago, mon, june 20, 2022, 5:06:28

I recently realized the dropdown options from my nm-applet are no longer working.
But I can still control the network configuration by going through the dash.

This happened very recently. I only realized this before a week. I guess some recent update screwed it up.

I have these related packages installed

network-manager-gnome 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2

libnm-gtk0 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2

network-manager 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.1

Any help would be great.

The applet stops responding after a while. It's a known bug. Network manager is fine.

Kill and (re)start the nm-applet, you don't even need root access:

killall nm-applet

then alt+f2 and start nm-applet. It should be working again fine for a while.
