Original indicator beside additional, 'intruding' network indicator

[Philip Khor (philip10khor)]

I suspect this bug and #1233231 is due to one of the dependencies of Unity8, probably the indicators. Please clarify this.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Ted Gould (ted)]

Yes, this happens if you install indicator-network on a desktop system. That shouldn't happen in most cases, and for people who are testing Unity8 we'd love it if you'd note differences between the two indicators and file bugs!

[Kai Mast (kai-mast)]

Would be cool if this new indicator was available on the desktop by default.

However, currently the "Open WiFi settings..." fields do not do anything.

[Jussi (jrsvensson)]

During some Wifi problems, this lead to extreme amounts of popups about connecting to a network. The dialogs also have two cancel buttons.

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

(Jussi, please report that as a separate bug. It almost certainly isn't because there were two network indicators.)

[Tim Seppelt (t-seppelt)]

I get also 2 indicators. How can I get rid of the new one?

[Antti Kaijanmäki (kaijanmaki)]

t-seppelt: you can do $ sudo apt-get remove indicator-network
