network manager icon on 16.04 is not showing

Question

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. — Rick-777, Apr 24 '16 at 13:46

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

Ok, It can helps for now the command nmcli like following: `code` ~]$ nmcli dev wifi list `code` – Israel Diaz Apr 25 '16 at 21:48
Yo can get more info from this [link]http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/80126/how-to-connect-to-internet-using-nmcli – Israel Diaz Apr 25 '16 at 22:09
basically: `code`nmcli con up id ' GRANDEZZA 1' -> the name is the alias you have/had configured on `code`/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections – Israel Diaz Apr 25 '16 at 22:10

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
