Hi, On Babbage 1.0 Redboot picks up the MAC address from the fconfig structure. If the MAC address was not set in the fconfig structure, then it would not set the MAC address. Please double check the fconfig structure has a valid MAC address in the failing case.

Status in "gnome-applets" package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-applets Release: Ubuntu 9.04 (modified, see below) on Babbage1 or Babbage2. The error is that notification applets reliably crash on login. We get about 10 message windows that say variations of "The panel encountered a problem while loading OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet". Other applets that crashed were: WorkspaceSwitcherApplet, TrashApplet, WindowListApplet, FastUserSwitchApplet, ShowDesktopApplet, Mixer, IndicatorApplet, and NotificationAreaApplet. Babbage1: Booting with default release 9.04 from Canonical is fine. If I switch out the Redboot for a newer RedBoot (200925), the notification area applets all crash. We are looking to see what changed in RedBoot to cause this. The system is functional and stable, networking works, etc so any insights on what could cause these applets to crash on an otherwise apparently functional system would be helpful. To reproduce on Babbage1, take the Ubuntu 9.04 release and change the redboot. I have attached our 200925 redboot image. To update the redboot on the mmc card from a host (if it is /dev/sdc): # dd if=mx51_babbage_redboot-no-padding.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=512 seek=2 Babbage2: Release: Ubuntu 9.04 with an updated kernel image, no initrd, updated redboot If we boot with an ethernet cable plugged in, no error. Booting without the ethernet cable causes all the notification area applets to crash on login. ** Attachment added: "signature.asc" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28555138/signature.asc -- notification area applets crash on login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
