What were you doing when it crashed? Were changing settings, trying to connect to something, inputting a WEP key, ...? We need more information.

Hi!

I had firefox open (1 tab: gmail) and I was doing a dist-upgrade from a gnome-terminal.
I had not touch on NetworkManager on the last few hours. It was connected to an open wireless network.

I added a duplicate to get apport's information.

I had firefox, pidgin, and a gnome-terminal open. A minute or two before I had done a dist-upgrade in the terminal, and was browsing gmail when apport came up. I've attached dpkg.log.

Still connected to the Internet, although there's no NM icon in the tray.

This morning I ran the updates.
After re-booting, the gnome settings daemon doesn't work, and I got this crash message about the network manager. although there is still a network manager icon.
I am connected to a wired network and didn't change any network settings.
I have an Intel based system with a Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 12)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect 277185 and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
