[apport] NetworkManager crashed with signal 5 in main()

[JK]

Binary package hint: network-manager

Crashed during login which may be linked to nm-applet. I can't provide much more information.

Same here (see duplicate for crash report)

[waldschm (waldschm)]

Same error. I had just upgraded from Edgy and this error came up after the restart.

[Andrew Frank (frank-geoinfo)]

i did an distro-upgrade from an earlier 7.04 and got this error

[Apport retracing service (apport)]

StacktraceTop:

[Giuliastro (gyesspam)]

Upgraded to Feisty, NetworkManager doesn't seem to work. Crashes on launch.

[Miguel Duarte (malduarte)]

same here

[Nikolaus Filus (nfilus)]

One more affected upgrade from 6.10 to feisty (rc).
Although nm crashes while first login to the updated gnome, it seems to restart immediately and works as expected (I didn't loose my wireless connection). Will see if this happens after every new bootup or login ...

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

So it gets a SIGTRAP in

        if (!nm_data->dbus_connection)
        {
                nm_error ("nm_dbus_init() failed, exiting. "
                          "Either dbus is not running, or the "
                          "NetworkManager dbus security policy "
                          "was not loaded.");
                exit (EXIT_FAILURE); <== RIGHT HERE
        }

n-m's nm_error() function attaches gdb onto the process to get a backtrace for the log, that's where the SIGTRAP comes from. So the real cause of this is that dbus is not running properly.

Can you guys please upgrade to the latest Feisty? Is this only an apport inconvenience, or does n-m really not work for you?

I've got that bug just after daily upgrade this morning.

[mr.ses (blacksun)]

I also got this bug appear this morning after an apt-get update.
The only file updated was update-manager-core_1:0.59.20_i386.deb

One thing I have noticed though is that networking seems unaffected and the NetworkManager still seems to be running

me@here:~$ ps awwux | grep NetworkManager

[beneedict (nimmervoll-benedikt)]

same here! I do have all updates installed!!
I also crashes sometimes when I want to set it to standby...

[Gregor Rosenauer (grexe)]

this is the first time I got this crash, using a fresh Feisty x86 Beta for ~2 weeks now.
Also Amarok crashed on login.
Maybe on a related note, gs-eps tends to crash when used for producing some PDFs in a row.
Using kernel 2.6.20.3 and latest updates (KDE 3.5.6 etc.)

[Simon Edwards (simon-simonzone)]

I just booted into the lowlatency kernel (2.6.20-15), and it crashed. It has never crashed before.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Well, guys, yes, I *know* that it crashes. My question was whether it actually stops network-manager from working for you (i. e. you don't have the notification tray applet and it does not connect). Can you please confirm/deny that? Thank you

[saserr (saserr)]

Knetworkmanager is showing that I am connected, and also NetworkManager and NetworgManagerD are running.
Apport just registered this crash after normal log in (10 days after upgrade to 7.04), and everything seams to be running normal.

[beneedict (nimmervoll-benedikt)]

I do also have some problems with shutting down and suspend sometimes. According to the log file, NetworkManager can't be shut down :(
Could it have to do with the ndiswrapper?

[beneedict (nimmervoll-benedikt)]

In some cases my NetworkManager can not connect to my router... I don't know if it is the same problem. It usually stops at 57% connection. and most of the time a restart of the dhclient3 is solving the trouble!

[Brian J. Murrell (brian-interlinx)]

This happened to me just now as I upgraded to the latest gutsy. It also results in my eth0 interface being de-configured.

[Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. (bss03)]

I'm at latest gusty as well.
KNetworkManager (the tray applet) doesn't seem to have any problems, and I'm still connected to the office wlan.
In fact, NetworkManager(Dispatcher)? are still running as well.

[Christian Meyer (chrisime)]

I was running into the same problem...CONFIRMED.
--> Ubuntu Gutsy

[alejandro_escalante (alejandro-escalante)]

Same bug, under Gutsy Gibbon.

[BonBonTheJon (jonathan-mueller)]

Confirm under Gutsy. Still appear to be online somehow.

[Brian J. Murrell (brian-interlinx)]

Current gutsy still has this problem. Just upgraded and NM was one of the upgrades and boomo -- apport report.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

i just merged in code that might fix this issue. We now properly unref dbus connections on exit, so hopefully getting a dbus_connection when restarting will fail less frequently now. Next gutsy upload should ship this fix.

Thanks,

[Brian J. Murrell (brian-interlinx)]

This just happened again during upgrade. Perhaps it was upgrading to the fixed release noted above that it happened and this is the last time it should happen.

We can hope.

[Yannick (splitsch)]

I just upgraded from feisty to gutsy, and apport came and told me network-manager had crashed...

[James D (james-d1)]

Getting the same sort of thing in Kubuntu Gutsy, both on log-in and on waking the computer up from power wasting. The network itself works fine though...

[Henry de Valence (gravity-is-the-man)]

Happened to me in Kubuntu Gutsy, apparently randomly, BUT at the same time GParted also crashed [while fiddling with my partitions :O]. Might be random coincidence, but it might be related. I don't really know.

[Scott Beamer (angrykeyboarder)]

It happened to me as well, but I have no idea why. It was random (although I had been installing other packages - but don't ask me which ones. :) :).

[Scott Beamer (angrykeyboarder)]

Whoa! I just noticed this bug is rather *old*.

My previous comment applied to da "Gutsy Gibbon". :)

[Kalrog (nathan-deckinga)]

I just got this error for the first time as well. Setup is an AMD x86-64 installation of Kubuntu Gutsy (up to date as of last night, but more updates available today 2 for restricted modules and one for nvidia video).

[Zupop (zupop)]

The only thing I can add is that I reported a problem concerning network-manager. After my upgrade to gutsy tribe 5, changing kernel from day to day it often had problems with wireless connections . Now this problem seems to be solved.

[Brian Mathis (bcmathis)]

Got the error after a update on 9/24/07. Im using Gutsy

[Chris Hollenbeck (chris-hollenbeck)]

I also just got the error after updating Gutsy on September 24.

[Ryan McClure (mcc-mcc3d)]

Affirming error, just did an update.

[turox (tuxturox)]

Got the error after a update on 9/25/07. Im using Gutsy

[Kansei (clauretano)]

confirmed, 9/24/2007 update cause this. When I resumed from suspend, nm-applet was missing and I was sad. It worked fine after re-launching it :)

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

Reopening.

[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

I got the same problem after 9/25/07 update

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Can you please attach the output of lspci -v and attach the file /var/log/syslog

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

seen after an update on 20070825 as well

[Jim Bailey (jim-freesolutions)]

Similar problem following Gutsy update this was the first but I have maybe a dozen other Hal and gnome realted failure. shame since things were pretty smooth before latest update.

[Christopher Denter (dennda)]

Same as Jim Bailey here.
(Trying apports sending-methods.)

regards.

[Son (son.caokim)]

In response to Martin Pitt (wrote on 2007-04-25):
Networking stops functioning after crash. I had to reboot, and it seems to rework normally.
The crash happens after/during today's update of latest package from Gutsy repo.

[Glenn Ochampaugh (glenn-ochampaugh)]

I got this crash on suspend resume in Gutsy Tribe 5 with updates on a Core2 MacBook.

[Chris Hollenbeck (chris-hollenbeck)]

Here are my log files. NetworkManager came up normally today when I booted.

[Adrian Bridgett (adrian-bridgett)]

I had been on train (no wifi) and then suspended. Got to the office and resumed (no cable, wifi available but doesn't like bcm43xx driver so it doesn't work). When I say "doesn't work" it does appear to be working for the first time ever so that's an unexpected bonus!

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

Chris, your log doesn't even contain a crash from what i see. Can you get one that captures _this_ signal 5 crash?

[Chris Hollenbeck (chris-hollenbeck)]

Alexander, I don't see anything related at first glance in /var/log/syslog. I also have some archived syslog.0 files that I can take a look at. What should I be looking for? I was directed to this bug by apport and still have the /var/crash/_usr_sbin_NetworkManager.0.crash file if that would be helpful.

[akapteijn (akapteijn)]

same crash here

[RobPower (robpwr)]

Confirmed on Gutsy Gibbon Latest Beta
Here is my lspci -v and my syslog file.

[Jan Kunder (jan-kunder)]

I can confirm the bug.
It happend "now" = 01.10.07 15:18 GMT.
1Gbit onboard Intel
i965G+E6600+2GBRAM (only HEAVY tested & used pieces)
After aptitude upgrade after 10? days.

*****
I also had and have problems from installing till now. After starting PC from OFF state, there is (always?) 90%+ NOT working networking. After console /etc/init.d/networking restart it works fine within few secs!
It sometimes (AFAIR!) corrected "yourself" within 10 minutes after start.
If this is/not regarding this bug - pls tell me.
NOT problems if booted to/on XP/Etch on the same network the same machine.

*****
I hate NO option to attach 5 files at once (not using tar workaround).
If there is any - pls email me!

[Pauldb (polichinel8)]

I had the same error, while I was upgrading from 7.04 (Feisty) to 7.10 (Gutsy), my computer didn't answer i had to
shutdown by pushing 5 sec on the button
After restar i got that problem

PS : sorry, you certaintly saw that i don't write english very well, i'm french speaker sry again...

[mabovo (mabovo)]

Not only network is unstable in Gutsy Beta but last kernel update kill also sound and avahi daemon returned with bug.
It seems that all applets (Tomboy, NM-applet and others) appearing on top panel has problems with gnome. There was one instance that Gutsy disabled all applets installed on superior panel in order to start Gnome.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

mabovo, your comment doesn't match the topic of this bug. Please open new bugs for the issues you mention ... at least if you can reproduce them.

(marked as a duplicate of this one, I don't know why)

[Chris Hollenbeck (chris-hollenbeck)]

This bug is not related to gthumb. It is a NetworkManager bug.

[LEVIS Cyril (atlas95)]

I have this at boot on hardy :/ sometimes

[raanan (raanan-opcat)]

I also have this on boot. usually after a suspend and a failed resume.

[raanan (raanan-opcat)]

the previous post is in hardy

[LEVIS Cyril (atlas95)]

Networkmanager work very but sometimes crash when I do nothing...I use transmission, evolution, liferea, program which check if networkmanager is connect, i don't know if the problem comes here...
- nm 0.6.6 in hardy

[Florian Zeitz (florian-zeitz)]

Same here. Since upgrading to nm 0.6.6-0ubuntu3 I get a apport crash report on every boot that points me to this bug.
But nm works without any problems, this is just a apport inconvenience for me as of now.

[Daniel J Blueman (danielblueman)]

Just reproduced this with network-manager version "0.7~~svn20080818t061112+eni0-0ubuntu1" on x86-64, Intrepid.

 - reboot phone while USB connected, putting it in a particular mode

you should get a network-manager crash file in /var/crash/ ... please
submit that by double clicking so we can see how it crashed and for
what reason.
