gnome-main-menu says wired connection although a wireless connection is being used
Last modified: 2009-01-14 17:37:56 UTC
Gnome-main-menu always says that the network connection is wired when having configured interfaces via YaST. This also applies for wireless connections configured via YaST: Gnome-main-menu calls them wired.
On 10.3 the following will happen (when not using NM); 1. Having a wired connection, then loading Slab; Slab will say Wireless 2. Having no connection, then loading Slab; Slab will say No Connection 3. Starting the network after 2, Slab will say No Connection We decided to move this bug to 11.0. If the fix is easy enough, then it should be backported to 10.2/10.3.

Created attachment 211348 [details] Patch1 This is patch1 (Step1) to fix this issue; We currently rely on nm_client_new() to return NULL if NetworkManager is not running. This is not the case. We need to explicitly call nm_client_get_manager_running to get the correct status. For Step2, we need to either add a poll to check if network connectivity has changed, or check this each time the menu is opened. I don't know which one is the best so I'll leave that to the experts (Federico and Scott).
Federico, Would you mind having a look at this and suggest which method to use. Also, feel free to whip up a patch for it :-)
Should the status of this bug be needinfo still? Whats missing?
It's set needinfo to Federico for a patch review.
Nice catch! However, this still needs to handle the case where nm_client_new() returns NULL. This can happen if the system D-bus can't be contacted: NMClient * nm_client_new (void) { DBusGConnection *connection; GError *err = NULL; connection = dbus_g_bus_get (DBUS_BUS_SYSTEM, &err); if (!connection) { g_warning ("Couldn't connect to system bus: %s", err->message); g_error_free (err); return NULL; } return (NMClient *) g_object_new (NM_TYPE_CLIENT, NM_OBJECT_DBUS_CONNECTION, connection, NM_OBJECT_DBUS_PATH, NM_DBUS_PATH, NULL); } So a simple "if (!(client && nm_client_get_manager_running (...)))" should do the trick :) As for your Step2, it should be enough to check the status every time the menu is opened, *but* only if NM was seen not to be active the last time we checked (i.e. to avoid polling NM more than necessary). You can hook this in main-menu-ui.c:present_slab_window().
It'd be nice to call network_status_agent_get_first_active_device_info when the menu opens, since we can then detect if user changed between ifup/NM. I'll do some timings to figure out if it's worth it.

Sweet. I've committed your patch to GNOME's SVN.

Federico: According to official releases there is no Beta4. Does that mean the fix never hits the road ? "The openSUSE team is proud to announce the _last_ Beta release of openSUSE 11.0!" from openSUSE weekly

Where do you see the applet in the panel ? For whatever reason nm-applet and nm-system-settings are always started, even though NM has been deselected in yast2 lan in favor of ifup.
Found the issue. The fix that went in to originally correct this works fine. The new bug is in gtop_get_first_active_device_info.
Can someone try this patch and let me know if it works. I can't get my wlan up and running with ifup for some reason. This basically adds a check to see if the nic has an ip address.

Looks much better now :-) see screenshot.

Federico, Can I commit?
Yes, please! And thanks again for debugging this. I'll keep the bug open to remind myself that I need to put the patch in our gnome-main-menu package (I'll pull the patch from svn once you commit it there).
Comitted.
OK, closing as in 11.1 it's working properly. Maybe a backport is necessary for 11.0 ?
