Package: network-manager Version: 0.9.10.0-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Dear Maintainer, I have just upgraded network-manager to 0.9.10. Since the upgrade when activating the hotspot/shared AP feature, network-manager will 'spam' /var/log/deamon.log with the message provided bellow. This ends up filling up completly the partition containing /var/log and preventing parts of the system from running. The filling up is also relatively fast, it took a few minutes to reach 2GB on a laptop HDD. I am not sure what causes the original issue, I will investigate this later. But whatever the underlying problem is, don't you think network-manager should have safeguards to avoid filling up the logs and ending up breaking the system? At least it could wait between retries to avoid filling up the log too quickly. Regarding the original issue could it be caused by the fact that the name of the computer and the SSID of the hotspot are the same ('yuno')? This would explain the "Name not unique on network" part of the logs. Anyway thanks for your awesome work. Best regards, Log message bellow: Jul 21 17:01:57 yuno NetworkManager[2804]: <info> (mon.wlan0): supplicant interface state: starting -> down Jul 21 17:01:57 yuno wpa_supplicant[993]: Could not set interface mon.wlan0 flags: Name not unique on network Jul 21 17:01:57 yuno wpa_supplicant[993]: nl80211: Could not set interface 'mon.wlan0' UP Jul 21 17:01:57 yuno wpa_supplicant[993]: Could not set interface mon.wlan0 flags: Name not unique on network Jul 21 17:01:57 yuno wpa_supplicant[993]: WEXT: Could not set interface 'mon.wlan0' UP Jul 21 17:01:57 yuno wpa_supplicant[993]: mon.wlan0: Failed to initialize driver interface Jul 21 17:01:57 yuno NetworkManager[2804]: <error> [1405929717.489944] [supplicant-manager/nm-supplicant-interface.c:856] interface_add_cb(): (mon.wlan0): error adding interface: wpa_supplicant couldn't grab this interface.
