Seems like this problem with network manager applet

I think this fixes the network manager applet

sudo touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf

Try this and Reboot :)

Hi Brendan,

Is this really a a duplicate of bug #1616400? I guess you can check, if the bug has been squashed. If it is still alive, it is a separate bug.

I suspect it is still alive, but you wrote the bug report, so please check if the bug you reported is still there.
