I had a popup that my wireless network had disconnected and hit the "don't show this message again" button. I actually want it to show. I can't figure out how I would reenable it. This is Unity on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

I found this question/answer: Where can I find a Unity configuration file?

It says Unity uses gconf and references /apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options

However, that answer is from July 2011 and that path does not exist in my system.

I found /apps/conpizconfig-1/unity

but underneath that I cannot find anything about network messages.

Do:

gsettings get org.gnome.nm-applet disable-disconnected-notifications

if that is true, do a:

gsettings set org.gnome.nm-applet disable-disconnected-notifications false

Next time when you have something like this do a:

gsettings list-recursively | grep --ignore-case WhateverYoureLookingFor | more

    Thanks. I had read in another answer that Unity used gconf but in the comppiz-1 section, but I guess that is incorrect. In my particular instance it would be "disable-disconnected-notifications" and "disable-connected-notifications". In using Configuration Editor (gconf-editor), I have no clue where org.gnome.nm-applet would show up. Can't find it anywhere. – Scooter Jan 19 '15 at 01:01
  • @Scooter: Changed! If this all works, don't forget to click the grey check-mark under the "0" at the left of this text, which means "yes, this answer is valid"! ;-) – Fabby Jan 19 '15 at 01:05

    Can you change the "get" as well? Should "true" be at the end of set? – Scooter Jan 19 '15 at 01:07
  • @Scooter: Oops! Thanks for the heads-up! – Fabby Jan 19 '15 at 01:17

    I marked it as a correct answer, but in terms of the question, it should actually read "if that is true, do a:" and the value to set it to should be false - as I want to enable it and the setting is true for disable and false for enable. The list-recursively is a good tip. – Scooter Jan 22 '15 at 00:22
