After installing 16.04 network manager icon no longer shows. Cannot start vpn. Wired connections details show but no options.

  • For me, the network manager applet is shown ok, but there isn't any list of networks. The wifi automatically connects to the first available instead of giving me a choice.

I'm with the same behave, the wireless device connects to first available! The only way found to see which one is, by command line:

:~]$ iwconfig

Try this, worked for me:

sudo apt-get purge -y hostapd && sudo apt-get purge -y network-manager && sudo apt-get install network-manager && sudo reboot

As seen in: Network Manager icon disapear 14.04
