Activate Network Applet in Ubuntu Mate

Ubuntu mate is very eye catching and customizable linux flavour which I've used.

But in ubuntu mate most of times the nm-applet which is showing our network connections and settings (by the way most important applet) is not showing at startup. So we are unable to connect between different network connections same time (LAN , Wi-Fi , Mobile broadband connections.)

To make appear the nm-applet (Network Manager) on the notification area follow the steps.



sudo nano /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop

Remove the following line from this

AutostartCondition=GNOME3 unless-session gnome

and save it.

Then

sudo nano /home/lionel/.config/autostart/nm-applet.desktop

Take a lookat the following line

 X-MATE-Autostart-enabled=false

if it's false like this change it to "true"

Now logout and login from your machine.

Check it's ok

If not,

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

Take a look at for the foll lowing line

[ifupdown]
managed=false

if it's false change it to "true"

save it, logout and login.

Check whether now you have the nm-applet.


else install the following

sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-complete

Even if they support windows they are only support older versions of windows such as XP, windows 7, Vista. But Easy2Boot Support many Linux distributions and at the same time It supports all the windows versions (server 2008 R2, 2012, 2016, windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10). And WinPE also can be include.
