so there is nothing in my notification area. No networkmanager, no sound , nothing at all. This is strange. I have reinstalled it restarted the computer and still its empty. Network manager luckily is still working because it has auto connected to my wireless network. please help. And i have already searched google and cant find any kind of fix.
Im using gnome btw....

1. Do you have a notifications area (is it in your panel)?
2. Try running nm-applet from gnome-terminal and post any errors.

yes notification area is in my panel. I can see the little 12 dot separator and when I right click and select about is says "Notification Area 2.32.1". Although when I run nm-applet i get "bash: nm-applet: command not found." So I'm confused lol.
Thanks for the suggestion though

You need both networkmanager and network-manager-applet.

Don't forget to add 'networkmanager' to your start up daemons in rc.conf file too

thanks a lot everybody. I seemed to have un-installed network-manager-applet when downgrading gnome 3 to gnome 2 and I never realized it. Also volume control isn't displayed through notification area as it is in linux mint (my last distro), but rather through a dedicated applet. So that was the confusion. After installing Network Manager Applet my notification area is once again populated.
