[Bug 1879087] Re: dbus errors, frequent roaming and unstable connectivity
Never mind - Somehow my local package simply looked newer from a versioning perspective. I found the right version and as far as I can tell the problems are gone in this version. I have not seen any of the dbus messages and roaming works better (less erratic) here. Thanks a lot for getting this fix in. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879087 Title: dbus errors, frequent roaming and unstable connectivity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpa/+bug/1879087/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Apologies for releasing this one early, I have fat-fingered the sru- release command for the wrong package. This was all by accident... That being said, I don't want to revert this if not needed. Could someone please double-check if this bug is fixed in the (now) focal-updates package, and if not, re-open this bug for future fixing?

Hello Thomas, or anyone else affected, Accepted wpa into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpa/2:2.9-1ubuntu4.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: wpa (Ubuntu Focal) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879087 Title: dbus errors, frequent roaming and unstable connectivity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpa/+bug/1879087/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1879087] Re: dbus errors, frequent roaming and unstable connectivity
Thank you for taking care of this so swiftly. I don't believe I have much to add to the test-case. From testing locally I can see that the warnings disappear from the log and the connection _seems_ more stable. I underscore _seems_ because I have not been able to figure out which other parts of the system are actually using these particular dbus messages, if any. If nobody is actually using these, the perceived improvement could be placebo. I will keep testing though, because I've generally been struggling with a stable wifi connection on 20.04.
