• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description I am 2010-08-17 23:36:46 UTC]

in the provided nm-system-settings.conf is a line change:

from:

plugins=keyfile

to:

plugins=ifnet,keyfile

but with this line I get a crash, and with the old one none

Currently, you could comment all the functions you defined in /etc/conf.d/net. Or if they are important to you, you could remove 'ifnet' from the line 'plugins=ifnet,keyfile'. Then I think you won't get the crash.

I'm working on this problem now.

And could you please give me your /etc/conf.d/net? That would be a great help.

[Comment 3 I am 2010-08-18 11:08:26 UTC]

Created attachment 243425 [details]
/etc/conf.d/net

[Comment 4 Robert Piasek (RETIRED) 2010-08-18 11:18:51 UTC]

Can you please try if NM from my overlay (layman -a dagger) fixes the issue for you? If it does, we will add it to portage.

Thanks,
Rob

your ebuild (networkmanager-0.8.1-r6) fixes the issue.

[Comment 6 Robert Piasek (RETIRED) 2010-08-19 08:33:08 UTC]

Thank you for your time spent on testing.

I'll wait another day or two before pushing this patch to portage tree. I want to get as many bugs fixed as possible before pushing new version.

[Comment 7 Alessandro Capogna 2010-08-20 20:03:20 UTC]

same problem here, 0.8-r1 version on amd64. With ifnet in with nm-system-settings.conf it wont work, but if i remove it nm work well. This problem appear after update from 0.7.2 to 0.8-r1 and also if i comment /etc/conf.d/net lines

I have the same identical problem with the just-stabilized v0.8-r1

I don't know if these issues might be merged in the same bug-report.

I had to remove "ifnet" because that plugin is not shipped with the ebuild (or maybe it's installed if using specific useflag).

Yes, ifnet plug-in is not working well for v0.8-r1. Currently the stable version would be networkmanager-0.8.1-r6 in dagger's overlay. It will be pushed into portage soon.

Then why on Earth did our developer stabilized that without removing it from the config file?

Darn it.

It's not enabled by default for 0.8-r1. It's enabled by default for 0.8-r3 though it has problem with dhcpcd/dhclient. Everything would be fine soon.

[Comment 12 Robert Piasek (RETIRED) 2010-08-23 10:46:37 UTC]

That problem should be now fixed. Please sync and re-install NM.
Since it was just a minor config file update, I didn't bump the revision.

[Comment 13 Robert Piasek (RETIRED) 2010-08-23 15:50:53 UTC]

I'm closing this bug down. If you have any other problems after re-building latest version from portage, please re-open.
