Good day, very strange, up until a couple of days ago my WI-FI was working just fine now I get an X in the icon. If I plug an Ethernet cable in it works fine. I have been trying to de bug this for a couple of days to no avail. I have another laptop and it can connect fine so I have ruled out the modem and router. I wondered if it was a recent update that might be the problem but I can't see anything that might be the cause. I did delete and reinstall networkmanager but same result. I am expecting someplace a screen that shows all available networks but I can't find it??? I did read through the Bodhi wiki on networking but I didn't see anything in there to assist. I thought this sounded a bit like my problem.. bodhilinux.boards.net/thread/805/network-manager-icon-absent-postedit suggested to run nm-applet but I cannot find it anywhere and wondered if it should be nm-tray. When I run nm-tray I get... QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it. Available styles: qt5ct-style, Windows, Fusion QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set The only thing I can think of is that something got messed up in the last couple of days as it was working fine. Any suggestions about how to proceed? thanks.

oophs - forgot to mention, when you put the cursor on the network icon and then use right key, a menu appears. There are 2 Enable functions that appear, Networking and WIFI with selectable boxes. I can select the Networking box but not the WIFI box which may be an indicator of the problem. Both options are highlighted so they should be selectable.

Found the problem - boy do I feel dumb. I was doing some more checking and found that I must have moved the WIFI switch on the laptop to OFF position - explains why I couldn't select WIFI in the Network panel eh. As soon as I turned it ON then the WIFI started working.
Remember the old adage - take out gun, point at foot, pull trigger .. sigh

Since you chose bodhi, you are not a dumb user.

That Wi-Fi switch gets plenty of users, we're just glad you got it sorted!
Cheers!
