Hi, the network manager doesnt appear on my notification area, I can see the process is running (Im typing this from arch) and everything works fine, but I dont have the icon to create new connections or see Ip address, gateways and stuff.

The applet appears loaded at startup like so:

Any help?

Like the archwiki says, I ran:

 nm-applet --sm-disable &

and got:

** (nm-applet:6394): WARNING **: get_all_cb: couldn't retrieve system settings properties: (2) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings was not provided by any .service files.

** (nm-applet:6394): WARNING **: fetch_connections_done: error fetching system connections: (2) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings was not provided by any .service files.

will do and come back with results

Back, Ok that was very helpfull, as soon as I see the last post I realized that indeed I DONT have network manager listed on my daemons, and thats why there is no icon, and the fact that I still have Internet and stuff its because im using the old configuration (the one from the beginners guide).

Im pretty sure thats the reason so I will go ahead and test it and come back with hopefully good results.

DONE

Problem was exactly that, you have to disable "network" daemon from rc.conf and put "networkmanager" there.

cheers and thanks for the help.
