Still repros in 12.10. Also repros in a LiveCD environment, so it's not something with my install.
My computer is a System76 Leopard Extreme. I opened a System76 service request but their technicians cannot reproduce the problem with their hardware. My girlfriend recently got a Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition and it also experiences the problem. Interestingly, it has a similar wireless adapter model (Centrino Advanced-N 6235 rev 24). I am thinking that there may be a compatibility problem between Ubuntu, the Centrino Advanced-N 6230/6235, and something in my environment. Perhaps it doesn't like my wireless router (WNDR3700v2) or the fact that there are about three dozen wireless networks in range. As another test, I disabled my wireless router itself while the problem was reproing. Much like when I tested unplugging a wired cable, nm- applet showed that it had been disconnected from the wireless and that it was trying to reconnect, but the applet was still unresponsive to user input. As before, killing and restarting nm-applet made it work properly again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/825897 Title: network-manager becomes unresponsive, requiring a service restart Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After network-manager has been running for a while (overnight) it becomes unresponsive: - unable to uncheck "Enable Wireless" - doesn't list the numerous additional networks under "More Networks" - doesn't find new networks This behavior persists until the network-manager service is restarted via: sudo service network-manager restart ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: network-manager 0.8.4~git.20110319t175609.d14809b-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-10.46-generic 2.6.38.7 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-10-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Aug 13 09:25:50 2011 IfupdownConfig: auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release amd64 (20091027) NetworkManager.state: [main] NetworkingEnabled=true WirelessEnabled=true WWANEnabled=true ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: network-manager UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2011-07-25 (19 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/825897/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
