The bug has been reported in the Ubuntu error tracker and started since the backported some 1.2 fixes to our 1.2.0 stable version, including that one https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-applet/commit/?h=nma-1-2&id=1fe93d23fac15bdaaca4c51e526725616a15678d stacktrace of the issue "
+ Trace 236403
the ubuntu source seems 1 line off compared the 1.2 stable version, the assert is on l212 there
Inside the client, the client must expect that a connection exposed by NetworkManager may be invalid. For example, if new API/libnm adds a new setting type (for example to support the new MACSEC device), then an older libnm version in the client is not yet aware of that new setting type and the connection (which is valid for the server with it's new version), appears invalid to the client. The client must gracefully handle that. The assertion however indicates that the connection has no NMSettingConnection value. While that may theoretically happen (and should be accepted by the client), it's not clear why that would actually happen. This bug report doesn't contain enough information about why the setting-connection is missing. The circumstances of the crash should be described. What were you doing, what was happening, what software components (and versions) were involved, is it reproducible, how often does it happen, etc.
> This bug report doesn't contain enough information about why Right, sorry but that's all we have, there are no user report to bug tracker just errors collecting stats and those are automatic and don't prompt user for a description. Thanks for the comment, feel free to close the bug as incomplete or such if it's not actable without details, we can reopen the day we get extra info.
let's leave it open, but in my opinion it needs more information to be nailed down... if somebody knows how to reproduce it, that would be valuable.... Thanks! (setting to NEEDINFO for now)
bugzilla.gnome.org is being shut down in favor of a GitLab instance. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time. If you still use NetworkManager and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and supported version of NetworkManager, then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/ Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (workforce and time is unfortunately limited).
