Can't see icon in notification bar

[Jaime Pérez]

I can't see NetworkManager icon in main toolbar in Lubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit. I am connected to wifi because I installed Lubuntu 13.10, where I was able to see the icon, and then upgraded to 14.04. I can't submit a screen capture because I press the button "print screen" and nothing happens.

Are you still using Lubuntu or did you switch to the Unity session?

[Jaime Pérez (jaime-91)]

I'm still using it and having the problem.

[Severin Wünsch (sk1d)]

I can confirm this bug. A solution can be found here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/449709/network-indicator-disappeared-in-lubuntu

But I think lubuntu should add this by default.
