[SOLVED]Gnome: No network icon in the status bar

So fresh install and no networking icon in the status bar.

I also opened the network connections program and it didnt show any connections. I am using eth0 to write this.
This suggests to me that a daemon hasnt been started (but doesnt necessarily explain no icon in status bar)

here is the daemon section of my rc.conf

 DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng network netfs crond networkmanager dbus gdm)

i added network manager as a previous attempt (on advise of someone elsewhere on the internet(cannot remember where lol))

Thanks.. I have nearly got my system how I want it (minus software i havent installed yet)

Sorry if i have created a duplicate thread

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome: No network icon in the status bar

Hello have you installed network-manager-applet?
And afaik if you use networkmanager in daemons u dont add network again,use only one,in your case networkmanager

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome: No network icon in the status bar

the order of the daemons is wrong.
move dbus before networkmanager and drop network.

Did you really read the wiki?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome: No network icon in the status bar

Thanks to both of you.

I had already noticed the redundancy of network which was added in the install however hadnt considered the ordering

Did you really read the wiki?

This is pretty much all i have seen people saying at the end of their posts on here. I agree with the point you have made, however i have been on the wiki all day, conisdering this is a newbie forum it is to be presumed that it is a pretty new installation. Therefore the user does not have time to read the entire wiki. As i said i have been on the wiki all day and used it countless times and have found it invaluable, so im only posting here when i am unable to find answers there.

That aside this is a wonderfully helpful community so HI
