	Multiple Instances of nm-applet by Rich Shepard :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I've replaced the linux distribution on our ThinkPad 600E with Xubuntu-7.04. Each time it boots, multiple instances of the network manager (nm-applet) are loaded; we're up to well more than 20 now. They're like a cancer, growing uncontrollably and I can't cure the machine of this illnesss. Before quitting, I run 'killall nm-applet' and they all close down. The session-saving option is selected, but this applet keeps coming back on a reboot or cold boot. I even deleted the session data in ~/.config/cache/, but to no avail. If anyone here can help me clear this up, I'd really appreciate it. Rich -- Richard B.

Settings => Autostarted applications Check that NetworkManager is not listed there. I thnk it might be saved along with the session and then started by both the autostart and the sessions, growing the number of instances at each login/logout cycle...

Olivier, Yes, that is checked to activate. I mistakenly assumed that the application would not be in the session manager unless it was also in autostart. My mistake. Let me confirm ... hmmm-m-m. Doesn't seem to help. Any other ideas? Thanks, Rich -- Richard B.

Then log in back, and add "nm-applet --sm-disable" to your autostarted applications. nm-applet doesn't supports well session management (at least outside of gnome, it seems).

I've been using the --sm-disable option, but at the command line. How, exactly, should I add that to ~/.config/autostart/? Based on Olivier's message yesterday, I don't want autostart activated in the settings. Thanks, Rich -- Richard B.

Thank you. killing off the session files with only one instance of 'nm-applet --sm-disable &' running seems to have done the trick. I've rebooted her laptop a couple of times and there's only one icon displayed. Whew! Now to figure out why the wireless networking card won't work with this distribution when it worked flawlessly with Slackware. Again, thanks, Rich -- Richard B.
