Summary | 0006697: Segmentation fault when connecting | ||||
Description | After applying the following updates: NetworkManager.x86_64 1:0.8.1-61.el6_4 NetworkManager-glib.x86_64 1:0.8.1-61.el6_4 NetworkManager-gnome.x86_64 1:0.8.1-61.el6_4 I can no longer connect to any network (wireless or cable). nm-applet exits with a segmentation fault. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Always happens when connecting to a network. | ||||
Additional Information | I tried removing all network configurations and restarted nm-applet and the computer many times. I finally got it back to work by downgrading to NetworkManager-0.8.1-43.el6.x86_64. | ||||
Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
Tried same update on other machine, no problem. The problematic machine is using VirtualBox-4.2-4.2.18_88780_el6-1.x86_64, the other machine not. Maybe a problem with VirtualBox network settings? | |
I've had the same problem. I'm running CentOS 6.4 in VirtualBox-4.2.18 (on Windows 7 host). I updated NetworkManager, NetworkManager-glib and NetworkManager-gnome. After a restart I had no Internet and the icon had gone and I got a segmentation fault every time I tried to start NetworkManager, which was configured to automatically connect. At first I thought I was in a bit of a catch-22 situation since I couldn't downgrade NetworkManager without access to the Internet, but eventually I realised I could disable the NetworkManager service and set up the connection myself using ifconfig. Then I was able to downgrade NetworkManager, which fixed the problem. |
|
I might be having a different setup here, but I just changed eth0 to NM-controlled and installed NetworkManager. Prior to that I stoped the network service, and afterwards I started NetworkManager. Pinging 8.8.8.8 didn't work prior to starting NetworkManager, and worked again afterwards. I could also start/open the NetworkManager GUI. | |
Well in my case it was exactly the other way around. I have a CentOS 6.4 host and the problem occurs without even starting a virtual machine. I just thought about VitualBox because I have 3 other machines that don't show this problem and have a very similar setup. Only difference is that they don't have VirtualBox installed. |

I've the same issue on a Lenovo R61i with the wireless. When I run "nm-applet" with my user id, I get an error "Segmentation Fault". I've run "nm-applet" as root user, no error, it's working. The difference between user id and root wireless setting is: User id: - IPv4 Settings Method = Manual Root: - IPv4 Settings Method = Automatic (DHCP) CentOS: 6.4 kernel release: 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64 Installed Packages NetworkManager.x86_64 1:0.8.1-61.el6_4 @updates NetworkManager-glib.x86_64 1:0.8.1-61.el6_4 @updates NetworkManager-gnome.x86_64 1:0.8.1-61.el6_4 @updates NetworkManager-vpnc.x86_64 1:0.8.0-1.git20100411.el6 @epel |
|
I just retried again as non-root user, killed nm-applet and restarted it (ip is set to manual). At least in a VM i don't experience those issues. | |
Confirm the bug on my Thinkpad T61. NetworkManager successfully connects to WiFi, but upon connecting the Ethernet cable nm-applet segfaults: $ nm-applet ** Message: applet now removed from the notification area ** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area Segmentation fault (core dumped) $ ps auxw|grep Net root 4603 0.5 0.0 98156 5868 ?

Please be so kind a report this upstream at https://bugzilla.redhat.com. Once it gets fixed there, CentOS will inherit the fix. | |
