A couple of comments... First, this bug is overly broad... The indicator on the phone does work when WiFi or mobile data are connected, however there are some other issues.
Regarding problems on touch. Standard procedure is to include device names and image #s. Also, the indicator does work when WiFi or mobile data are connected, which is different than what you describe on the desktop. Regarding the ifconfig errors, I have seen this error on krillin and arale running the latest vivid-devel. I haven't checked mako. My original thought was this was a kernel error, however if you're seeing this on the desktop, it may be an issue with ifconfig itself ( part of the net-tools package ). My touch testing so far has shown similar errors on RTM and vivid-devel with indicator-network icon latency ( see Bug #1339792 ), DNS taking too long ( 10s - 1m ) to be re-established when switching connections, and routing table errors on arale and krillin ( vivid-devel-only ). Of these, only the last seems related to the NM upgrade as the first two problems occur on RTM as well. I've been tasked with focusing on networking debug this coming week. As I'm not running vivid on my laptop, perhaps we keep this bug for the desktop problem and try and determine what's actually going on before we decide to cut & run? "Revert latest nm" is not a bug, it's a suggested action and without first determining the root cause, is a bit drastic a suggestion at this time... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1422924 Title: Revert latest nm Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since the latest nm, everything is completely broken...
