Hello, I looked a little forward into the problem, and I concurr to the following :
The problem happens when racoon fails to create or maintain an ipsec tunnel for securing a wifi network I use. actually I do not really know if the problem comes from racoon, from NetworkManager or from the madwifi driver or from gnome. here are the facts : racoon fails to etablish the tunnel because of a problem during the "phase 1" Dec 3 19:00:02 chameau racoon: ERROR: phase1 negotiation failed due to time up. c647c6ccd3f63a21:0000000000000000 and then it messes everything up. actually the error that racoon has can be fixed by resetting the wifi connection (with NetworkManager for example) but then the different questions I have are : what makes that racoon fails, and that the ping command seems to be failing as well (takes a very long time to return an error) ? Why shall gnome get slugish when there is a problem with the network : eventually this can result in the inability to do anything (even leaving the session), wich is very bad for a user friendly graphic interface (unless you want to mimic Windows in every aspect) Does the fact that resetting the connection seems to fix the problem mean that NetworkManager do not see that there is a problem with the connection ? If there actually is a problem with the connection, does it comes from madwifi ? Here are the syslog concerning racoon when there's a bug : Regards ** Attachment added: "bugracoon.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10713812/bugracoon.txt -- gnome very slow to launch (or apps very slow to launch under gnome) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164528 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
