Ubuntu 12.04.5
I followed this guide to install XFCE and access the server via VNC: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-setup-vnc-for-ubuntu-12
The problem is there’s no internet connection available in XFCE. If I hover over the connection icon it says “Network Manager is disabled.” I logged in to the server and confirmed this is incorrect, network-manager is running. Also, in “console access” in the DigitalOcean control panel I can access the web with Firefox.
How do I get it working in XFCE?
Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Basically, that error means that the networking is not being managed by Network Manger, but rather the networking service. You can change that by reviewing the documentation found here.
