GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 559246
Connecting to WPA-ENTEPRISE network 1) removes info about CA cert; 2) kills nm-applet
Last modified: 2011-07-20 13:11:05 UTC
I have: - intrepid; - university; :) - wi-fi: WPA-Enterprise encryption MSCHAPv2 802.11x key management static IP and DNS, no DHCP CA cert What happened: 1) I've added network (with all settings, including cert); 2) Trying to connect to hidden network. Selecting config. First bug: no cert is entered (but I've selected one earlier) 3) It asks me about cert: "you'ven't specified it, so select it now or ignore". 4) I click on button to select, but no dialog appears. 5) I press ignore. 6) nm-applet crashes. In console: nm-applet ** ERROR:eap-method-peap.c:227:nag_user: assertion failed: (dialog) Aborted https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/290986
#1 (removes CA cert) was fixed in applet SVN on 2008-10-31. For #2, I need a backtrace of the applet crash. That usually means missing or mis-installed applet.glade file, which should be in /usr/share/nm-applet/applet.glade. Make sure you don't have any other version of NM installed, or that you remove any version you tried to build and install yourself, then re-install the packages.
Hi, Den. I've checked that file, it's absolutely the same as must be. (I've checked md5s and they are equal). My Version is: 0.7~~svn20081018t105859-0ubuntu1 BTW, I can suggest that this bug is only mine, 'cause I have missed some gnome icons, so some apps are claiming on this.
Hey Dima, would you mind providing the stacktrace which has been asked in comment #1 for and reopen this bug then? Thanks in advance!
(In reply to comment #3) Hi, Tobias Sorry, now I have no access to mentioned network, and I'm unable to get it until October. So, I only have one line of stacktrace, mentioned in the report: ERROR:eap-method-peap.c:227:nag_user: assertion failed: (dialog)
I am experiencing a very similar problem (perhaps the same one?) with nm-applet 0.8 on openSUSE 11.3 for x86-64. I have set up a wireless connection with all the required information, including the CA Certificate. I am able to successfully connect and use the connection. Occasionally the connection will spontaneously disconnect, and nm-applet pops up a dialog with the connection settings again and prompting to reconnect. However, in this dialog the CA Certificate which I had previously chosen is missing. If I hit "Connect" without reselecting the CA Certificate, I get a certificate warning, and sometimes (but not always) if I click the "Ignore" button on this dialog, nm-applet will crash. The crashing doesn't concern me as much as the fact that nm-applet constantly forgets the CA Certificate. However, I'd be pleased to try to reproduce the crashing issue if someone could give me more information on how to produce the stacktrace requested. Is it just a question of sending the output of "strace nm-applet"? If so, the file might be quite large, as nm-applet might run for several hours or days before crashing in this manner.
