Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2006-10-09 08:20:52 UTC

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful in determining the cause of the crash. Can you get us one with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so.

Comment 3 mensur 2006-10-09 14:17:01 UTC

Since reporting the problem initially, I've reinstalled edgy and I've been unable to reproduce the crash of network-admin app.  The one problem it is still having if using the GUI it doesn't retain the gateway address after specifying a static IP.  I've been configuring it with command line for IP, route and DNS.  

It accepts the address but after clicking OK and opening it up again - it is not staying set as the field is cleared afterwards.

Comment 4 Sebastien Bacher 2006-10-09 14:55:17 UTC

what version of system-tools-backend do you use? That issue is supposed to be fixed with 1.9.7. If you upgrade, did you reboot or restart dbus since? Could you try with the new version after a dbus restart?

Comment 5 mensur 2006-10-09 15:09:58 UTC

The machine was rebooted plenty of times after the last upgrade.  Where is the version of system-tools-backend listed?

Comment 6 Sebastien Bacher 2006-10-09 17:16:08 UTC

dpkg -l system-tools-backend
