Network manager applet is gone on whisker menu and panel

Not really remeber what've done but now on Arch, network manager applet is gone in all place: whisker menu and panel.
The only remain is as stated by pacman

$ sudo pacman -Qe | grep -ni network

252:network-manager-applet 1.24.0-1
253:networkmanager 1.32.12-1
254:networkmanager-openconnect 1.2.7dev+65+gca4187c-1
255:networkmanager-openvpn 1.8.16-1
256:networkmanager-pptp 1.2.9dev+10+gb41b0d0-4
257:networkmanager-vpnc 1.2.7dev+20+gdca3aea-2

Qe option : list all installed app packages

How to fix it as well as it was working fine ?

Re: Network manager applet is gone on whisker menu and panel

Is "nm-applet" running?

ps -ef | grep nm-applet

If it is, which panel plugins do you have added to the panel?

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv | grep '^/plugins'

(you need to have a systray plugin added to the panel for it to display).

Re: Network manager applet is gone on whisker menu and panel

Why are you running those commands with sudo? They shouldn't be run with sudo.

nm-applet isn't running, that's why. Try starting it manually:

nm-applet

It can also be auto-started by checking the "Network" item in Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Application Autostart.

Re: Network manager applet is gone on whisker menu and panel

Oops, Gosh how ignorant I'm

$ nm-applet

(nm-applet:11828): libnotify-WARNING **: 00:02:23.409: Failed to connect to proxy

(nm-applet:11828): nm-applet-WARNING **: 00:02:23.412: Failed to show notification: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files

Look let it go straight
It went wrong as Manjaro run smoothly then another Arch non-systemd is added installed, i.e. Artix and these both share the same XFCE setting under  $HOME

Any clearer idea to understand what actually bad thing on this, and brighter thought on how to solve these all to working well together ?

Re: Network manager applet is gone on whisker menu and panel

Did you install xfce4-notifyd? Is it running?

ps -ef | grep notif

Re: Network manager applet is gone on whisker menu and panel

Install the xfce4-notifyd package and log out and back in again. You should then see a /usr/lib/xfce4/notifyd/xfce4-notifyd process running. This will provide the notification service that nm-applet is complaining about.

Re: Network manager applet is gone on whisker menu and panel

Working

So back above,  "any brighter thought on how to solve these all to working well together ?"

So the need is nm and nm-applet etc are executed in one systemd OS ie. Manjaro and not in non systemd ie. Artix
the most viable mean is to link the file for nm setting in ~/.cnfig/xfce....(what I'm asking now)  to place in / dir.
so any configuration in each still running on its own side by side has no harm each other though by different settings
