nm-applet crashed with SIGSEGV in gtk_combo_box_set_model

[Zenigata]

I was just annoyed by the fact that once again NW did not want to set the correct channel (i need to check the number of that other bug), so I reloaded my wifi drivers (it used to help alot on Feisty) and choosed "Connect to another wifi network) and this made NWM-applet crash.

It is not the first time that trying to enter the essid via that option make it crash.

I get the same problem on a Gutsy Tribe 4 installation here. Trace at bug #131745

[Juksu (jluostar)]

Same problem here, Gutsy amd64 tribe-4 with broadcom 4311 integrated wlan on a HP nc8430 laptop. Network manager crashed in the middle of making a bug report which was suggested by the bug-reporting tool!

[Mike Trim (miketrim)]

Ditto, with a rt2500pci card on amd64.

[TJ (tj)]

Confirmed here too. Gutsy x86_64 on Intel Core 2 Duo and iw3945.

Bug #137989 (duplicate) contains a stack back-trace that matches the results of several users including me.

[aot2002 (jasonbronson)]

TJ its not specific to AMD im on a 64 bit intel duo core same issue !

[Jason Feldstein (fieldstone)]

aot2002, the amd64 platform refers to it being 64-bit. It has NOTHING to do with what processor you're using. A simple web search quickly reveals this.

[aot2002 (jasonbronson)]

ahhh thanks just wanted to confirm this info

[TJ (tj)]

The bug appears to be caused by a memory allocation or reference-count error. I've built network-manager-applet (aka package network-manager-applet) and added a report:

src/wsp-wpa-eap.c::wso_wpa_eap_new()

 phase2_type_combo = glade_xml_get_widget (opt->uixml, "wpa_eap_phase2_type_combo");
 tree_model = wso_wpa_create_phase2_type_model (capabilities, TRUE, &num_added);
 printf("About to call GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL(%lX)\n", tree_model);
 printf("GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL (%lX)=%d\n", tree_model, GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL(tree_model));
 gtk_combo_box_set_model (GTK_COMBO_BOX (phase2_type_combo), tree_model);
 gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first (tree_model, &iter);
 gtk_combo_box_set_active_iter (GTK_COMBO_BOX (phase2_type_combo), &iter);

Mostly it will crash, but sometimes it will work okay. Each of the following was generated by starting nm-applet, clicking the notification-area icon, and choosing "Connect to Other Wireless Network..." :

$ nm-applet

This is just to show that the various security types are being added to the ComboBox.

[TJ (tj)]

It looks as if the fault is in libgtk+2.0. I'm continuing to track it. Currently building debug versions of the grtk+2.0 libraries. It is called from:

Thanks to Steve Langasek on #ubuntu-devel who looked at this and spotted that the prototype for wso_wpa_create_phase2_type_model() was missing.

Added to src/wso-private.h

If you'd like to test this package it is available for download at:

http://intuitivenipple.net/dev/ubuntu/network-manager-gnome_0.6.5-0ubuntu11_amd64.deb

To install it do:

$ wget http://intuitivenipple.net/dev/ubuntu/network-manager-gnome_0.6.5-0ubuntu11_amd64.deb
$ sudo killall nm-applet
$ sudo dpkg -i network-manager-gnome_0.6.5-0ubuntu11_amd64.deb
$ nm-applet &

This will download the package, stop any running instance of the applet, install the fixed version, and then start the applet in the background.

Please report back your results (success or failure, etc.).

[TJ (tj)]

There is no upstream link so here's the Gnome bug "SIGSEGV on x86_64 when doing "Connect to Other Wireless Network...":

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490312

[TJ (tj)]

I've created and attached two patches:

1) network-manager-applet (0.6.5-0ubuntu11) hardy; urgency=low
2) network-manager-applet (0.6.5-0ubuntu11) gutsy-proposed; urgency=low

The original packages in Hardy and Gutsy are identical: network-manager-applet (0.6.5-0ubuntu10) gutsy

The patch solves a SIGSEGV on x86_64 when trying to "Connect to Other Wireless Network...". The SIGSEGV was caused by a missing prototype that in turn caused an implicit function return-type of 'int' when it should have been a pointer. On a 64-bit architecture that would cause the crash when the pointer was to memory above the 32-bit boundary.

The bug prevents users selecting another wireless network.

im going to try your deb package

i got another crash this morning

hey tj do we need to apply your patch? or just download the deb file?

[TJ (tj)]

aot2002: Just as per the instructions given above. Download and install the new binary deb.

I don't see any errors reported to the console here.

I've modified the directory layout on my server so there are directories for each Ubuntu release, so the direct URL is now:

http://intuitivenipple.net/dev/ubuntu/gutsy/network-manager-gnome_0.6.5-0ubuntu11_amd64.deb

but this shouldn't matter since I set up a redirect from the old location to the new one.

[aot2002 (jasonbronson)]

yea im running the current version but even with those errors to console i cant seem to find any problems as of yet?

thanks again TJ

[TJ (tj)]

aot2002: I'm doubtful the error messages you're reporting are caused by the patch adding a function prototype although it might be caused by the amd64 .deb package I've built. That said, the build log reports zero (0) warnings or errors and nm-applet is working without any detectable problems here.

Your error reports appear to be related to a dbus communication failure. If you can pin it down I'd be grateful since that'll either point the finger at something I did in the build, or show the problem is not related to the (simple) change I made.

[aot2002 (jasonbronson)]

im attaching all my logs hopefully that can help you
if you want anything else i will or can attach if you ask for it.

i doubt im able to track these bugs down

but i'd be happy if you could at least tell me if its the patch or just something on my end.

h__p://www.aaljb.com/alllogs.tar

[TJ (tj)]

aot2002: I've just looked at your logs and the last time I see the SIGSEGV is:

Oct 29 08:15:10 localhost kernel: [ 103.908729] nm-applet[6066]: segfault at ffffffffac043cc0

After that I see:

Oct 29 08:21:06 sudo: USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/killall nm-applet
Oct 29 08:21:45 sudo: USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/nm-applet
Oct 29 08:21:53 sudo: USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/nm-applet

which indicates you're running nm-applet as root. This is incorrect. nm-applet should be run as a regular user application without using sudo:

$ nm-applet

If the errors in your earlier report were reported after starting nm-applet as root, the dbus-related errors would be expected. Please kill any running instance of nm-applet and start it without sudo and see how it goes.

[aot2002 (jasonbronson)]

ok done

no errors seen thank you

[edschofield (schofield)]

Great work, TJ! I can verify that your package resolves the SIGSEGV on my amd64 machine running Gutsy.

[Wally (walterf22)]

Thanks. I was running the live version off CD to test - I will do an install to hard disk, apply the patch and let you know my findings.

Best,
Wally.

Wally, you can test it using the Desktop Live CD just as easily.

Once the desktop has started open a terminal and type the commands listed:

If you don't have a network connection at that point then download the .deb first from another OS and save it to a location that Ubuntu LiveCD will have access to (an NTFS or FAT32 drive is fine - Gutsy can mount and access NTFS). Then use the full path to the file in the 'sudo dpkg -i ...' command.

Does the Hardy package work on Gutsy ? If so, where can I get it ?

[André Santos (vigilnt)]

Or else, how do I apply the patch ?

[Kevin McGehee (kevin-mcgehee)]

The easiest way to download it is directly from the website:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/net/network-manager-gnome

I'm not sure if any of the dependencies are in hardy only, though,
which could cause a bit of a problem. You can try to install it
directly (dpkg -i package.deb) and see if it complains.

Or you could add the hardy sources.list and set only that package and
its dependencies to update.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to try this patched network manager. I've been very busy at school.

Anyway, today I got it, and I'm still connecting to my home WPA wireless network automagically. I clicked on the "connect to other wifi networks" and it worked too.
At the moment I can't verify that I can actually connect to other networks in that way, because I just use it at school to connect to the Campus Wifi. I might try it this afternoon.

But I guess it is working good! Thanks!

I finally was able to try this patched network manager to connect to the campus wifi. It succeeded. I'm posting this from there.

So, for me it's working great. Don't know if anyone as a problem with it...

Sorry everyone, I accidentally added this bug to the cupsys section. I had arrived at this page by entering the bug number into the URL without also changing the word "cupsys" in the URL. Then I misunderstood the meaning of the "Also needs fixing here" button.
