network manager broken

[Peter Silva]

Binary package hint: network-manager

was running find with Jaunty for the past month. on the 19th, did apt-get upgrade to get latest stuff, and network-manager has been broken since. It didn't work with a WPA-2 protected network at work, a WPA-1 PSK one at home, nor with plain old copper and DHCP. All of the above worked well before then. Now nothing works at all unless I shutdown NetworkManager completely and use /etc/network/interfaces instead. It doesn't even work to use the manual interface and leave NetworkManager running, because NM ensures there is no default route.

No way to get any type of network connection over any interfaces with NM lately. Originally tried with knetworkmanager, but repeated same symptoms with the plasmoid as well.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't start working on it yet, because your bug report didn't include enough information.

Please include the information requested at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingNetworkManager. If you have trouble, do not hesitate to ask for more assistance. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Andy

if you could provide some guidance as to what you need, that would be somewhat more useful.

i did...

# start with serial log and tee it in a log file
NM_SERIAL_DEBUG=1 NetworkManager --no-daemon 2>&1 | tee /tmp/nm-serial.txt
added some logs for a sample... nm_wpa_log is the output from this..
to reproduce, I just startup network manager and it doesn't work, regardless of iface.
it's an intel chipset, and connecting manually with copper at least, works fine. so it's now hw.

[Peter Silva (peter-bsqt)]

ok... well now copper works ok...

if I re-connect copper it's OK.

I installed nm-applet, and everything works... so the problem has something to do with KDE.
the problem is reproducible with either knetworkmanager and/or the plasmoid.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Package renamed.

[Peter Silva (peter-bsqt)]

confirmed... it didn't work with the plasmoid, and it doesn't work with the
widget either.

WPA1 with known SSID, as well as and WPA2 with private SSID.

both cases work fine with Gnome nm-applet.

I seem to be able to confirm that problem with the latest Alpha (6) of Kubuntu. Knetworkmanager shows the network in question but connecting to it simply doesn't work. The Gnome applet nm-applet on the other hand works just fine. Hope this gets fixed in time.

Is this still a problem with the final version of Kubuntu 9.04?

[Peter Silva (peter-bsqt)]

yes.
