Package: network-manager Version: 0.9.10.0-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
NetworkManager.service is not restarted by systemd if NetworkManager crashed or is killed. To repeat: * boot Debian into Xfce or similar gui with Network Manager Applet * kill NetworkManager, as root 'killall -9 NetworkManager' * notice how Network Manager Applet just says 'Network Manager is not running...' Workaround is to restart NetworkManager: * as root, 'systemctl start NetworkManager.service' Attached patch fixes this and NetworkManager.service is restarted. With the patch the service is correctly restarted, and systemd seems to detect if the service is respawning too fast due to other bugs, like when NetorkManager is crashing after 'brctl addif br0 eth0' (separate bug). -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.17.6+ (SMP w/8 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages network-manager depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dbus 1.8.12-1 ii init-system-helpers 1.22 ii isc-dhcp-client 4.3.1-5 ii libc6 2.19-13 ii libdbus-1-3 1.8.12-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.102-1 ii libgcrypt20 1.6.2-4+b1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1 ii libgnutls-deb0-28 3.3.8-5 ii libgudev-1.0-0 215-8 ii libmm-glib0 1.4.0-1 ii libndp0 1.4-2 ii libnewt0.52 0.52.17-1+b1 ii libnl-3-200 3.2.24-2 ii libnl-genl-3-200 3.2.24-2 ii libnl-route-3-200 3.2.24-2 ii libnm-glib4 0.9.10.0-3 ii libnm-util2 0.9.10.0-3 ii libpam-systemd 215-8 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-8 ii libreadline6 6.3-8+b2 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.48.0-1 ii libsystemd0 215-8 ii libteamdctl0 1.12-1 ii libuuid1 2.25.2-4 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 ii policykit-1 0.105-8 ii udev 215-8 ii wpasupplicant 2.3-1 Versions of packages network-manager recommends: ii crda 3.13-1 ii dnsmasq-base 2.72-2 ii iptables 1.4.21-2+b1 ii modemmanager 1.4.0-1 ii ppp 2.4.6-3 Versions of packages network-manager suggests: ii avahi-autoipd 0.6.31-4+b2 pn libteam-utils <none> -- no debconf information
