indicator doesn't always work properly after suspend

[Jamie Strandboge]

This is not a new bug but I finally decided to report it.

I have a wired and a wireless connection at home. I usually disconnect the wireless via network-manager while at home. After suspend, both connections come up. If I use the network-manager indicator to disconnect, I am unable to-- I can navigate the menus in the indicator but clicking on things does not work (eg, disconnect from my home connection, Edit connections, etc). This seems to be related to suspending for some period of time: ie, it seems to always happen after suspending at night/resuming in the morning whereas booting the computer, logging in, suspending, resuming and using the indicator straight away tends to work fine.

Confirming. There's a good number of duplicates with the same kind of details too. I thought it had been made less worse with the latest bug fixes though.

At least, now I can test with a long suspend cycle tonight.

I'd like to add, that submenus like further networks, VPN etc are also not populated. As a heavy VPN user, one of the first things to do after every suspend is to restart nm-applet by hand. It's one of the biggest annoyances in daily ubuntu usage for me.

Still seeing this with raring.

I have seen this for a while and still experience it in 13.04.

Killing nm-applet and starting it again fixes the problem, at least until the next time.

[Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand)]

I wonder if this is a dupe of bug #1011073. I hope so, cause that has a fix. :)

Michael, you can work around that for now by running killall nm-applet with a script in your sleep.d directory:

The problem seems to be gone with 16.04 for me. I only have to restart the network manager daemon now and then.

[Philippe Escarbassière (phil-esc)]

I get the problem on two laptops (16.04 up to date), after a suspend/resume cycle, wifi network list disappears from nm-applet. If I kill and restart nm-applet, wifi network list is displayed again.
On a third laptop, I have to restart network-manager service daemon.

I'm testing Xubuntu 17.04. Sadly, I still get this bug on one of my laptops. After resume from suspend the nm-applet doesn't show my Wi-Fi access points, although I'm still connected. killing nm-applet and rerunning it fixes it. How hard can it be to just patch this little thing?
