When Gnome 3.2 told me, there are wireless networks available, I accidentally clicked "don't show this message again".

How can I reactivate this message?

Not sure if there's a GUI way to do this, but this will work:

gconftool --toggle /apps/nm-applet/suppress-wireless-networks-available

This basically edits the Gnome "registry" to toggle the value that you set when clicking that button.

  • right! I found out it's also possible to use gconf-editor. For some reason I thought gconf-editor was replaced with dconf-editor. – speendo Feb 21 '12 at 07:21

    Yeah, some programs use dconf (especially in Gnome Shell) and some use gconf. Wish they'd make up their mind =P. Also, you were correct in using gconf-tool, though it takes longer than copy/paste that command into a terminal or Alt+F2 – Chuck R Feb 22 '12 at 04:32

    Does not work for me, ubuntu 15.10: No value found for key /apps/nm-applet/suppress-wireless-networks-available – doug65536 Aug 07 '16 at 22:46

Editing the gnome configuration file in your home directory at /home/<your account>/.gconf/apps/nm-applet/%gconf.xml and change the corresponding lines to false should do the trick:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf&gt;

...

<entry name="disable-connected-notifications" mtime="<some value>" type="bool" value="false"/>
<entry name="disable-disconnected-notifications" mtime="<some value>" type="bool" value="false"/>;

...

</gconf>
