Hello,

the desktop environment in LXDE, and I don't think it has anything to do with the DE.

1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem.
→ None !

2. The behavior you expected.
→ To display the nm-applet icon in the systray on Lxpanel and be ready to provide usual information and access to some configuration UI

3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
→ It's all in the initial and present message.

Thank you very much.

The package used : it is the very latest https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/network-manager-gnome available for the Eoan version (ubuntu 19.10).

There is no gnome-shell there.

I tried to find out why it is not there on the systray on lxpanel as it used to, so I started it from console, which happened to generate no action at all.

So I installed gdb and ran it with gdb, then I did use strace to get outputs. I'm not a dev, so I leave it to you to discover the outputs and other tech details I provided in the attachment.

Have you read the content of the gdb and strace output's in this attachment?

The computer is not mine but belongs to a buddy who had met an issue with the hard drive, so after I installed the new hard drive and new system which I fully updated, I met with the issue that I just reported today.

Then in order to find a turn around I installed other applications : connman, connman-gtk-ui, and added the lxpanel network monitor in the systray.

But this network monitor does not provide all the features nm-applet does, so I would be happy it this would be solved at some point in the future (especially as the 2020.04 LTS is around the corner).

I can't test more on my buddy's machine, because I handed it over to him this evening.

Thanks again for your work.
Best regards,
Mélodie
