New network manager is exist bug.

[zw963]

Only myself alone occur this bug?

behavior is:

in some case, especially when noontime, to have a lunch, my laptop is auto run screen
saver, when I come back, I often found, network manager icon is disconnect, could not
found any WiFi hot point, close and reenable network/wifi, still show disconnect. (red X)
(but in fact, I could still access network with WiFi.)

[zw963]

This only happen after a recent update from salix.

Rather, it is a problem with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface events (ACPI). Depending on how low the ACPI state in the power management is caused by the Xscreensaver

I install salix in my laptop, but I could not found any power tray icon showed in my panel. (only user name + network manager)
and, when this issue happen, I never use battery, the power is full.

(but in fact, I could still access network with WiFi.)

Maybe this describe not accurate, when I back, network manager is disconnect.
I could not connect to internet, after toggle `Enable networking` option,
Wifi is connected, But the icon is still keep red X, today all afternoon, keep this status
I even don't know I connect to which hot point .... I have no idea to controller which
wifi hot point to connect, But when I connect with `eth0', the icon is show connected.

By the way, what does "recent update from salix" mean to you? You may have damaged a configuration or the interrelations in the Salix installation.

I don't remember which update caused this, I just remember I have network-manager update.
I don't know where to read update log, following is the recently installed packag, sort by time DESC:

I think this bug is occur after update following package:

Code: Select all

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   975088 2017-04-24 17:32 ./salix/xap/network-manager-applet-1.2.6-x86_64-1gv.txz

BTW: from I install salix, I could not see many icon in start menu, panel, and even directory icon in file manager is
is not showed , I have to try to run sorts of command to restoredesktop icons, no effect, but after recent update,
all icons is showed, I think this issue initial caused by my home directory is shared, because my laptop all linux
distribution shared one home partition, anywhy, this is worked now.

You can find the previous version of the packages here:
http://backup.salixos.org/monthly.4/rep ... 64-1gv.txz
http://slackware.uk/slackware/slackware ... 6_64-2.txz

If you believe that the upgrade is the cause for this, install the old packages and see if it still happens.

Not see that link carefully, But i think I use dhcp serve by router.

Well, if other suggestions don't work, it may be worth a try. It probably makes no difference to NM what your router is using.
