But where's the applet or plasmoid or whatever it is/was gone? It's neither the the system control bar nor can I add it as a mini app on the screen (sorry if I use wrong words here, I'm using the German translation of KDE).
What do I miss?
That might be the general problem of system tray icons (plasmoids in particular) randomly disappearing in Plasma5's system tray.
See here e.g., or the corresponding upstream bug reports (it seems to be a Qt5 problem again). http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=955895
Do you see an empty space where the icon should be?
Hm, maybe. There is an odd number of icons visible, and maybe the lower right corner is free to home the NM icon, just in case it is willing to show up...
If yes, a workaround should be this, as mentioned in the bug report(s): Enter the "System Tray Settings" (via right-clicking on the system tray), turn off the "Miscellaneous" category e.g., press on "Apply", then turn it on again and press on "Apply". The icon should appear then.
I'll give this a try as soon as I sit in front of this box again.
BTW, I'm happy that I'm able to have a GUI again, since /usr/bin/krandrstartup was suddenly missing...
That's not used by Plasma5 at all AFAIK. Are/were you still using KDE4 then?
Where would I know? I installed TW when 13.2 was fresh :). Is has been a while, and I applied all updates. I think yes, there are a lot of KDE4 packages left. But due to the checking in openQA, they should fit into the current environment, I think. Some time ago, the file moved from krandr to kscreen, IIRC. kscreen is installed, the file is not present. And "startx" still needs it.
Would explain why you only see this problem just now, after upgrading... ;-)
Not for me, if the relations between packages ("obsoletes", "requires" a.s.o.) are correct :) Werner --
