[gutsy] segfault on joining secure network

[chantra]

distro: gutsy
network-manager-gnome 0.6.5-0ubuntu1

When joining a wireless ad-hoc network using WEP, nm-applet segfault

[chantra (chantra)]

strace nm-applet > out.txt 2> err.txt

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Anthony, can you please have a look at this?

[Corey Burger (corey.burger)]

This also appears to happen with WPA networks and appears to be related to the gnome-keyring integration work. If I choose deny to NM accessing the keyring and then manually enter the key, NM will not segfault.

I will try to confirm Corey's statement tonight when I get home and will update this bug.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Could somebody get a backtrace of the crash?

[jameswfrost (frosty)]

I can confirm this too, on gutsy. I've attached a backtrace (my first time doing one, so hope it's ok). I also have an strace output if you want it.

[Andrzej Mendel-Nykorowycz (kelner)]

Just a "me too" comment. In my case nm-applet crashes whenever it tries to use WPA passphrase from gnome-keyring.

[Alex Launi (alexlauni)]

same here using WPA. If keyring is denied then it works fine but when NM interacts with the gnome-keyring there is a segfault.

[ejstacey (ejstacey)]

Same here. Using WPA1. Denying prompts for my key. It then fails, but I think that's due to <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/121439">this bug</a> instead of being directly related to this.

gnome-keyring-manager works fine.

I disabled the keyring integration in /etc/pam.d/gdm (commented out the following lines) just in case but it didn't help:
## Added so that NetworkManager doesn't keep asking for Keyring password.
## relies on having same password to keyring as login password.
#auth optional pam_keyring.so try_first_pass
#session optional pam_keyring.so

nm-applet dumps a core file as well.
