[SOLVED] Stop WiFi connection window appearing

poncedeleon · 03-11-2022, 05:55 AM

Running Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon and each time I open my laptop the WiFi Connection window, "Connection Established", appears at the top right of my screen. Right clicking on this window does not allow me to cease this from appearing. How can I shut this down?

I have no experience with that appearing so cannot tell how to stop it. However, it is a message that the connection that was disconnected when the laptop was suspended/sleeping has been reestablished.

Does the same message appear when you first boot up?

Cinnamon is based on Gnome so this should work.

sudo gsettings reset org.gnome.nm-applet disable-connected-notifications

No.

Only occurs when the connection was disconnected during a suspension or sleeping.
Thank you for responding.

Thanks michaelk but it did not work.When I open it from sleep a notification states disconnected and when the connection is made I receive the "Connection Established". Bug?

I don't know. I have Mint Mate installed and network notifications are disabled.

Does Cinnamon have a settings utility. If so it might have a notifications setting

System Settings/Preferences/Notifications which I turned off all notifications and that certainly helped!!

I mistakenly installed Cinnamon. Meant to install Mate. I never had an issue with Mate. It is said Cinnamon is more basic than Mate but I run into these little issues.

If you're using nm-applet: left-click or right-click on the systray icon => uncheck "show notifications"

The systray icon is locked. How can one unlock it and unlike other icons the systray does not have a "configure" button.

Maybe it's not the nm-applet then.

Check with:

Code:

pidof nm-applet

The response of the code was 1360 whatever that means.

I knew you were going to answers something like this ...

Anyhow, it means that nm-applet is running (it has a pid). nm-applet provides the desired functionality. And ...lemme check my laptop... right-clicking it gives you the menu where you can uncheck notifications.
