Hi All;
I ran a yum update tonite and after a reboot I no longer had a copy of the Network Manager in my system tray. Also I could no longer run the Network Manager (nm-applet) from the command line. It ran but still failed to show up in the system tray.
nm_applet runs in the Notification Area. Did you lose your Notification Area?
I have 5 different applets running in mine, including Bluetooth Manager, Power Manager, NetworkManager Applet, Weather Report, and Volumne Applet. I'd notice if all 5 disappeared from my panel....
Plus if I ran "ifup etho" I got an error that the network was 'down'. And finally I went to the network device control and it showed no devices.
Fortunately I run an rsync backup before I do any updates. I ran an rsync restore of the following directories and everything is back to where it was before the update.
bin boot etc lib lib64 lost+found opt root sbin selinux srv usr var
Anyone have any thoughts per the Network Manager issue ?
Thanks in advance
