<SOLVED> plasma-widget-networkmanagement not showing on panel (system tray).

[barbanegra]

Hi everybody.
I was (quite happily) running Lucid and yesterday I upgraded to 11.04 (stepped on 10.10 for five mins and upgraded again).

I'm having a problem with the network management icon not showing on the system tray (I have multiple others, including apps such as dropbox and HPLIP). I noticed the same in 10.10, and thought the upgrade would fix it, but did not.

I tried reinstalling plasma-widget-networkmanagement, to no avail.
It is not a matter of adding the widget to the panel, as it doesn't show up in the available widgets.
The network works (I'm posting from this same laptop), but no graphical means to select the network connections is presented.

Can anyone help me, please?, I can find anything on the web, seems I'm the only one having this problem!.
Thanks in advance.

Ok now open krunner (ALT+F2) and paste the following commands:

kbuildsycoca4 && kquitapp plasma-desktop && rm ~/.kde/share/config/plasma* && kstart plasma-desktop

It will reset your plasma settings to default.

ubuntuku, you rock, that solved it.
Anything in the results gave it away?, because I just see a lot of repeated stuff, but nothing else.
Or is it just a traditional "restart" medicine?.

Anyway, thank you very much.
Best regards,
Barba
