Why does Network-Manager close when it cannot bind to any connection?
- by Agmenor
When Network-Manager is not able to bind my Ubuntu to any connection, after a while it closes. The icon in the notification area (or indicator area) disappears, and it does not run any more. For instance this happens when there is really no ethernet network nor wireless one.
Nonetheless this is a problem, since I often plug in my ethernet cable long after having booted my computer. As a hack I therefore hit Alt + F2, and type nm-applet. But I am not satisfied with this solution, because I think it is not intuitive enough.
Is there a way to keep Network-Manager always running?
I have Network-Manager 0.8.1 on Ubuntu 10.10, but this has been so for a long time, at least for one year.
