NetworkManager crashed (on login) with SIGSEGV in start_thread()

[Malcolm Scott]

Binary package hint: network-manager

On login, NetworkManager segfaulted (and nm-applet disappeared). It's worked fine on previous logins. Apologies for the lack of info, but this crash had no discernable cause.

[James Dupin (james.dupin)]

no problem when I start the computer, but upon log out log in, same problem as above

[Antoine Pairet (b-ly)]

I encountered the same crash while receiving email thanks to evolution. Apport redirected me here. If informations are required, feel free to ask.

[Bruce Crowther (bwucie)]

Apparently this happened to me, also, and I didn't even notice.
Had all kinds of problems with Alphas 3,4 and 6, but most seem to haver gone with the Beta.
Well done developers say I: ity is simple to just click the "work online" button in Evolution, compared to the hassles in the Alphas.

Immediately after login, wired network failed to connect. I manually select "Auth eth0", network manager got the DHCP connection after a few seconds. But Apport launched, complaining about the error in this bug.

[Miloš Mandarić (mandzo18)]

I got this crash about minute after connecting to internet.

[VladNistor (vladnistor)]

This happened to me after i returned from hibernation. Restarted with sudo NetworkManager and it works fine now.

[Vivian Stewart (vivichrist)]

I got this crash after resume from suspend

[Peter Whittaker (pwwnow)]

Confirmed based on multiple reports, including my own (crashed upon resume from suspend).

[Flandry (davidfalkyn)]

I have no idea if this is the right one of the 1 billion bugs with the same name, but i got this crash while the system was preparing a bug report for a crash by adept.

[Peter Whittaker (pwwnow)]

Folks, has anyone seen this with the release version of Intrepid?

If not, we can likely close this as "fix released" in the belief that it was addressed toward the end of the release cycle.

[Gregory Oschwald (osch0001)]

I have not experienced this with the final release.

[chewearn (chewearn)]

Same here, haven't seen this bug since that first few times in early beta.

[Alwin Garside (yogarine)]

This seems to be fixed in the final release.... Haven't encountered this bug anymore since the beta.

[Gabriel Bauman (gabrielbauman)]

I was experiencing this in the beta, it hasn't occurred since release of Intrepid. Marking Fix Released, seems to have been confirmed by several commenters.

[Mike Culver (urushihara)]

Since this occured I changed network hardware and it has not occured since.
I realize that this makes my information somewhat less relevant.
