Bug 417283 – net-misc/networkmanager-0.9.4.0-r2 hangs on 10-openrc-status

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 410661
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ronald 2012-05-23 16:57:00 UTC]

This part of the file:

case "$2" in
    up) nm-online -t 0 && exec rc-service NetworkManager start ;;
    down) nm-online -t 0 || exec rc-service NetworkManager stop ;;
    pre-sleep) exec rc-service NetworkManager stop ;;
esac

worked correctly in previous versions of NetworkManager (not 100% sure). However, something changed in between.

The command 'nm-online -t 0' now hangs until a connection comes up. This imposes a problem when you shutdown your last connection (as recognized my nm-online). The following happens:

* shutdown last connection *
* NM runs scripts in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ *
* hangs at 10-openrc-status *

This causes other scripts not to run (or very late).

1: I use a hardened system, please see my emerge --info --verbose.
2: I also attached a strace of the 'hanging' nm-online.

Strace of nm-online hanging

A possible fix is to change:

nm-online -t 0

to

nm-online -t 1

or any other integer > 0.

Should be fixed in networkmanager-0.9.4.0-r4
