NetworkManager segfaults on (almost)Beta2
Last modified: 2006-01-25 12:57:46 UTC
I'v just installed SUSE Linux 10.1 (almost)Beta2 (of the full-i386 trees) on my laptop and had to find out that NetworkManager isn't working as expected. Somehow NetworkManager is just dying -- the dispatcher is running and so is dhclient, but it doesn't set an ip. I'll add more details later...
A few things to consider: The daemon is not running (ps aux | grep NetworkManager)? What happens if you run it from the console? % NetworkManager --no-daemon Is NETWORKMANAGER=yes set in /etc/sysconfig/network/config ?
Martin reported something similar. I did a new installation today and had no problems.
Created attachment 64839 [details] NetworkManager.strace +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ :((
Thanks for the strace, Christoph! Would it be possible to attach gdb and get a full brack trace?
Robert, I'll fire up gdb now.
Created attachment 64843 [details] gdb bt Hope this helps...
Timo: Can you reproduce this? I cannot.
I think it is an inconsistent installation source. I suggest ldd NetworkMananger and compare the rpm version-releases of the affected packages.
I had a consistent installation source and there it worked.
Yes, this backtrace is very confusing -- I think this might be the result of an inconsistent installation. Christoph, can you try whatever Martin did to remedy the problem?
I could not reproduce this. We have set-up one of Seife's systems with the latest-and-greatest, did a ipreg for it and NM did not crash. Cristoph, if you encounter the bug with a stock Beta2, please let me know. I'm keen on debugging this one once more.
i got on the very same system now a segfault, too. At home, with an unencrypted WLAN. It does not crash on the wired line. I'll attach the gdb session...
Created attachment 64861 [details] gdb session, until SIGSEGV note that i also did a "dirty" update from machcd2/dists/full-i386, but it did not crash in the office.
I wasn't able to reproduce at home as well, so it might have something todo with the suse network (e.g. additonal dhcp stuff).
i reproduced it at home, could not reproduce it in the office.
Timo, this this is your bug?
Thanks for testing, Seife. An updated package has been submitted and checked in. It will be part of Beta2. Christoph, please confirm that it works for your system, too. Robert, please remove nm-dhcp-hostname-byte-array-thoenig-01.patch for the next update of the NetworkManager package. Closing.
=> VERIFIED (the fix works for me).
