My wireless was working fine when i ran it from an SDcard as Live, but after installing the Networking icon doesn't load up in systray. I've tried reinstalling with different settings a few times with the same result as well as doing integrity checks on the installation files. I can get the LAN connection working through 'Menu > Applications > System Tools > Network Connections' and might be able to do the same with WiFi, but it would be too inconvenient to always use through there. So what am i missing?
On a somewhat unrelated note, the snow effect on this forum appears to be overloading my eeePC so i can't use it for posting 'inxi -Fxz' output directly (and my GUI performance seems abnormally sluggish in general)... Got it copy-pasted from .txt through gmail:

Hello nuihc88
Did you reboot your machine or logout and log back in following the installation of the networking icon? I recall reading in a previous forum post that in certain circumstances a reboot (or at minimum, a logout/login) is required following modification of system settings and following installations in order to view the changes that have occurred. While a reboot or logout/login is not required after every instance of an installation or system setting modification, it does seem necessary in certain circumstances.
Second, in response to your comment here: "On a somewhat unrelated note, the snow effect on this forum appears to be overloading my eeePC so i can't use it for posting"
Have you used the Dillo Browser or the Links2 Browser as a means to access this website? I've tested numerous browsers on an old machine and the Dillo Browser and Links2 Browser were some of the lightest options, while also providing a means to login to this forum. In case you are unaware: Links2 is a text browser that displays graphics in addition to HTML tables and accepts cookies by default so it has the basic features necessary to interact with this forum. I've discussed both browsers in great detail in this forum, so hopefully you'll find a solution to your web browsing problem via one of those options.
On the other hand, if you are unaware: the Dillo Browser is an incredibly light and basic browser that does not accept cookies by default. Therefore, if you install the Dillo Browser as an option to access this forum, keep in mind that you will have to manually modify a configuration file in order to enable Dillo to accept cookies, since cookies are essential for logging in to a website forum. An additional note on the Dillo Browser: if you have difficultly viewing webpages: click the "Tools" icon and then unselect/select the "CSS" options until the website appearance fits your preference.
Finally, both Links2 and Dillo do not work with javascript. Fortunately, however, users can access and navigate this forum and contribute to discussions without the need for javascript since the forum is likely built with a server-side scripting language, such as PHP. Come to think of it, PHP used to be the norm of Internet chat forums. But now for some reason javascript seems to becoming dominant in websites when it is often not necessary. It's a pity because javascript seems consume a ridiculous amount of resources and is often the culprit for websites crashing web browsers on machines with lower resources. Nevertheless, I've digressed.

Yes, i did reboot a few times after changing things in 'Shelf Contents' & 'Settings Panel > Extensions > Modules' while troubleshooting.
I have even tried shuffling the icons around from old Shelves to new Shelves until i'm unable to even find systray's placeholder anywhere other than 'Shelf Contents'. Then re-adding it, then rebooting, etc.
No, not yet. It would be a bit premature at the moment since i'm still trying to get Wireless working and my cable management for LAN isn't suitable to long term use, but i'll give those a try once i've gotten everything set up properly.

Hello there Please try to check if Network manager is running after boot in menu->settings_panel->apps->startup applications i.imgur.com/2TjNKdl.jpgIf not, enable it and reboot Stefan |

I have 'Network' &' Network Connections' enabled there and both show up in green after rebooting. Is the issue resolved or still ongoing? Just to know if it can be marked as solved yet |

Ongoing... Removing & Re-adding systray has left my system in a state where there is no indication of systray actually existing on the Shelf while in 'Begin Moving Gadgets'-mode even though it's listed on Shelf Contents.
While waiting for advice, i even decided to try running:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
...then re-adding systray and rebooting. There was no change.

Try to install an other app with systray support to test the systray functionality. I can recommend parcellite clipboard manager.
sudo apt install parcellite
Run parcellite from menu or quick launcher. The app icon should appear in systray

Installed and ran parcellite, but still nothing shows up. Looks like the Shelf is glitched somehow, i'll try removing it, rebooting and then creating a new Shelf and adding everything back manually...
EDIT: I think i just figured out something:
Shelf Settings > Style > alternate | SysTray Shows up
Shelf Settings > Style > darker | SysTray Disappears
Shelf Settings > Style > default | SysTray Shows up
Shelf Settings > Style > invisible | SysTray Error: Systray cannot set its background invisible to match its shelf.
Shelf Settings > Style > translucent | SysTray Disappears
EDIT2: Ok, i have now managed to work around the issue by setting Shelf Style to default, but there is definitely a bug of some kind there.

The easiest method is the scratch the profile. Your desktop will be in default state i.imgur.com/kDfL2pF.jpgS EDIT: yes, the invisble shelf can not handle the systray module |

I think it can be marked as solved now; It should however be noted that Bodhi 5.1.0 legacy ISO seems to set the Shelf Style to a bugged option during installation.
