Same goes for gnome-settings-daemon. Probably the guides are referring to older versions of Gnome. How can I solve this? Is it possible to have the network manager icon to quickly switch on/off VPNs and WiFi connections?

Are you sure there is no `network-manager-applet` package you could install. Try running `dnf install network-manager-applet` as root. 2. What happens when you run (as root) `dnf provides *nm-applet`? It should provide the name of the package (if any) that contains the applet command.Sat, 14 Nov 2015 08:00:19 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/7297/how-can-i-use-networkmanager-with-i3-in-fedora-23/?answer=7309#post-id-7309Comment by Giordano for <p><strong>I'm a Fedora 22 user, so things might have changed in the meantime.</strong> </p> <ol> <li><p>Are you sure there is no <code>network-manager-applet</code> package you could install.

If you want to use NetworkManager, use NetworkManager. If Fedora 23 doesn't have it, install and configure it. nm-applet should be a part of it. You should check the Fedora docs on this.
