Solved networkmgr in applet tray not appearing after login

Hi all, installed FreeBSD 14 just yesterday with xfce, and firstly afforded network manager missing in xfce applets panel because the installation came without it.
Have then provided network manager once applied the indications on this thread
forums.freebsd.org

Xfce - WiFi manager/indicator not in the upper panel.

Just switched over from Cinnamon to Xfce, and I'm not entirely sure what to do here. The upper right of the top panel does not have your usual icons for sound, wifi etc.How do I place these on the panel so I can easily connect to WiFi or raise and lower my volume, Thanks a million

Now, networkmgr is there and works if I run it by terminal command, appearing in the applets panel, but I would prefer it runs/appear automatically at login, this does not happen.
Thing is that it is already included as service starting at login in the xfce autostart services settings panel, but does not autostart as expected.
Have to add some more steps to obtain this?
Thank you
 
You can edit the autostart command and run the same command that you use from the terminal.
Could this require "sudo" or may the applet be loaded before the panel is available?
For the latter, check if the command has any delay parameters available with:
man <command> or <command> --help
or apply:
sleep 5 && sudo your-applet-start-command on your autostart.

Check and share some of your logs to help you:
cat ~/.xsession-errors | grep -i networkmgr
cat ~/.xsession-errors | tail -30

thank you.

added sleep 5 && sudo networkmgr

as autologin command, did not work on next boot.

$ man networkmgr
No manual entry for networkmgr
$ networkmgr --help
service netif status not supported

cat ~/.xsession-errors | grep -i networkmgr

gives the prompt again (guess command executed)

cat ~/.xsession-errors | tail -30

with or without sudo
gives

You didn't set up doas.conf or you're not in the wheel group (run id command), I think.
I don't use doas.conf so I can't help you with that. Sorry.
 
right, just found that my user wasn't added to wheel group in the initial settings.
Gave
pw group mod wheel -m myuser

and now the network status gadget appears in the xfce panel as system boots
