As a workaround in Gnome 3, you can install/run gnconf-editor and navigate to apps/nm-applet and turn off disconnected notifications.
It's a bit of a kludge, as you won't get useful notifications (ie. when your network drops), but it's better than having to click the thing every time you open your laptop lid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/835972 Title: after resume the "Disconnected - you are now offline" notification doesn't disappear Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “xfce4-notifyd” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Observed behaviour: When I resume from standby, the "Disconnected - you are now offline" notification (which probably appeared when standby was started) stays on the screen and doesn't go away until I close it manually. Network (LAN - eth0) works, so in fact I'm online and the notification is false. Notifications are set to disappear after 4 seconds, which they do, except this naughty one. Expected behaviour: The "Disconnected - you are now offline" notification should not appear or disappear after the selected amount of time. The best thing would be to display a "Connected - you are now online" notification. used version: 0.2.1-1 on Xubuntu Natty (all updates up to date) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/835972/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
