hello. from CLI, if i do "ip addr show" and "ping google.com" it definitely shows me i'm connected to my network and the Internet. but looking at my network icon on the system tray it says i'm not connected to any AP. a bug?
Hi alistair,
if i do "ip addr show" and "ping google.com" it definitely shows me i'm connected to my network and the Internet.
Is it a wired or wireless connection?
but looking at my network icon on the system tray it says i'm not connected to any AP.
What desktop is it? Do you know what network manager you're using? The icon could belong to a variety of programs. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Desktop_environment#List_of_desktop_environ... https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration#Network_managers -- Cheers, Ralph.
it's a wireless connection. using plasma DE. how do you tell the type or kind of network manager? i remember installing "plasma-nm" so that could be it? the thing is if i disable this networking icon, i lose connectivity. if i let it enabled showing no connections, i have connectivity.

What did you enable? What did you configure? YOU did all of this, right? You should be able to tell us what you did, not the other way around. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration

Only because a user installed their system, doesn't mean they completely understand it. It's a continuous learning process, and we should support everyone who's willing to learn. @rino19ny: In this case, it seems like you're actually using NetworkManager, plasma-nm is a frontend for it. However, it is possible that you have a second network manager or static configuration configured, so network manager backs out. You can check that by typing nmcli in the terminal, it should show you the status of network manager on your system. If it shows connected, then the display applet in your Toolbar is the issue. If it shows disconnected, then you should check what other network manager you have installed, and uninstall it. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration Shows a list of possible options. You should check if any of those besides NetworkManager are installed.
