Just installed the brand-new 18.04 UM. STILL no wireless icon, and running nm-applet gets this:
sudo nm-applet
(nm-applet:7473): Gtk-WARNING **: 03:34:41.380: Can’t set a parent on widget which has a parent
(nm-applet:7473): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 03:34:43.609: gtk_widget_destroy: assertion ‘GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)’ failed
(nm-applet:7473): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 03:34:43.609: gtk_widget_destroy: assertion ‘GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)’ failed
(nm-applet:7473): Gtk-WARNING **: 03:34:43.621: Can’t set a parent on widget which has a parent
This is nonsensical to me. Why, when the installation disk has a wireless icon allowing a network to be selected and a password entered, does the installation, when booted, show no wireless icon?
I mean, it’s a good thing I have a long CAT-5 cable, but I shouldn’t have to connect with Ethernet!
CAN anything be done about this? It was also present in the beta, and I had expectations that it wouldn’t be in the final release.
