2018-07-19 20:44:53 Simon Quigley affects xterm (Ubuntu) nm-tray (Ubuntu)
2018-07-19 23:04:41 Chris Guiver description i've listed it as relating to XTERM, but in my opinion the daily image needs XTERM, and it's missing.. booting the x86 (32bit) daily image 2018-07-18, and I couldn't access "Edit Connections" or "Connection Information" in the bottom right applet. I compared to a 18.10 image on desktop (which has other DEsktops also); it loaded xterm and display info. I went back to this machine (32bit, dell d610) and `sudo apt install xterm` and then the "connection information", plus "edit connections" applet opened a window & let me do what I wanted to (or see info for connection info). missing XTERM package from daily-image in my opinion.

This has been filed upstream here: https://github.com/palinek/nm-tray/issues/23 Lubuntu 18.10 and on is using nm-tray for network connections. Unfortunately it lacks a native connection editor and instead loads `nmtui-edit` in a terminal. This is substandard and makes dealing with things like VPNs impossible. To be clear, with the switch to LXQt from LXDE, Lubuntu is attempting to use applications that do not require GTK. The Ubuntu Release Team imposes a requirement that prevents us from using cmst, otherwise it would be a better choice. Lubuntu is tracking development of this here: https://phab.lubuntu.me/T29
