Hi, Could you please re-open this as I have the same problem. I was submitting a problem via the gnome-nettool 'Report a problem' link, and the web-form led me here - I am not sure if the information collected from my system has been attached (so please excuse any repetition).
The problem is illustrated by the gnome-nettool Ping tab, but also occurs on other tabs retaining history (e.g. Traceroute). The problem manifests itself as the history drop down list appearing full of blank entries - different user accounts showing different numbers of blank entries depending on their use of the tool. Entering a new address results in a new blank entry (up to the history limit). Edit | Clear history resets the list. Attempting to gain some further information I started the tool with privileges from a terminal session: gksu gnome-nettool The following was reported: (gnome-nettool:2779): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (gnome-nettool:2779): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (gnome-nettool:2779): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (gnome-nettool:2779): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GtkToggleAction' to `GtkWidget' (gnome-nettool:2779): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_toplevel: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed Initiating a ping on 127.0.0.1 gave: (gnome-nettool:2808): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (gnome-nettool:2808): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_toplevel: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed command: /bin/ping ping -b -c 5 -n 127.0.0.1 (gnome-nettool:2808): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_toplevel: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gnome-nettool:2808): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_toplevel: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gnome-nettool:2808): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_toplevel: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gnome-nettool:2808): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_toplevel: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gnome-nettool:2808): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_toplevel: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gnome-nettool:2808): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_toplevel: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gnome-nettool:2808): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_toplevel: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gnome-nettool:2808): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_toplevel: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gnome-nettool:2808): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_toplevel: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gnome-nettool:2808): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_toplevel: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed Attempting to select one of the blank entries from the drop down list gave: (gnome-nettool:2808): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed Expectation: The tool should have stored the entered network addresses (e.g. 127.0.0.1) and made them available from the drop down list. Selecting an entry from the drop down list should have populated the Network Address field. -- No history of IP-adresses saved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/489771 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-nettool in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
