It is possible that this is not a bug, but that I somehow messed-up my system. To try to solve the problem, I deleted and reinstalled network- manager and unity-greeter, and restarted. The problem persisted. I then deleted unity-greeter, and restarted, but then could not get a logon prompt.
In the "Privacy" system setting, I have "record activity" set to "off". Because of that, (I think) I normally got a plain message at startup, "Unable to write bytes". Then unity greeter would start, and I would log on (I have a password set). But without unity-greeter (and using unity-2d) it would not give me a logon prompt, even after answering all the questions it asked me. All I could get was "Unable to write bytes", from which point all I could manage to do was ctrl-alt-del, which rebooted, after which I still could not log on. So I reinstalled 12.04 LTS, wiping out the previous installation. Now it has been updated and works fine. I am using the following: network-manager-gnome 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.3 network-manager 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.4.1 unity-greeter 0.2.9-0ubuntu1.4 with no problems or bugs. You guys that work on bugs might want to try logging on with a password needed, using unity-2d, and without unity- greeter, and with "Record Activity" set to "off". But be prepared to lose the entire system! Now that might be buggy. But that would be a different bug, not this one.

The "Disconnect" menu item is not highlighted. The Connection Name is highlighted, but I don't need to click it because I'm already connected to it. If I click the Connection Name, it connects again, but still does not highlight the "Disconnect" option. So to disconnect, I have to go to System Settings -> Network, and click on the toggle. That does work. It's just the taskbar connection manager that is malfunctioning. I have tried restarting, and the problem persists. This happened after I updated software this morning using Update Manager. I installed the updated Unity Greeter that puts network status on the login screen and updates wifi and mobile. I am running 12.04 LTS and Unity2d To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1420430/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
