Sorry, I am new to bug reporting, and I don't know if I am wright here or not. My apologizes if I should post this somewhere else.
I have also the same problem. The nm-applet crashes every time I try to connect to a wireless ad-hoc network made by a Windows machine. Following differences apply by me, though: - The ad-hoc network was made by computer running Windows 7 - I am using a 32-bit version of Ubuntu (Linux 2.6.31-14-generic i686) Unfortunately there is no record of the crash on any log file on my system every time the applet disappears. The only message I can get from the system is from the console. For this, I restart the applet from the console manually every time it crashes and try to select the ad-hoc wireless network again from the available networks list. This is what I get: $ nm-applet ** ERROR:applet.c:334:applet_menu_item_activate_helper_part2: assertion failed: (connection) Aborted This happens only with ad-hoc networks using WPA2-Personal encryption, as described in the original bug report. The nm-applet does not crash, if the ad-hoc network uses WEP encryption. I have been using WEP encryption as a work around for this problem, but this is not a satisfactory solution. -- network-manager-applet crashes on connecting to Vista hosted ad-hoc wireless subnet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479085 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
