On the above PPA I've made available has updated packages for Precise, Quantal and Raring to help debugging the menu functionality. *it does not fix the issue* It would be helpful if people could try these packages and help debugging the issue by providing more information, basically, after updating the pacakge, kill off nm-applet and start the new one like so in a terminal: G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=nm-applet-indicator nm-applet It will start outputting debug information on the console, we'll want to match that output with the output from dbus-monitor in another terminal: dbus-monitor --session --monitor interface=com.canonical.dbusmenu Then we'll match all of that to help figure out how to fix this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780602 Title: nm-applet leaks memory and stops functioning after a while Status in OEM Priority Project: Fix Released Status in OEM Priority Project precise series: Fix Released Status in OEM Priority Project quantal series: Fix Released Status in “libdbusmenu” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “network-manager-applet” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “network-manager-applet” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Bug description: The nm-applet embedded in the task bar becomes indeterminestically unresponsive. Clicking on the applet will still show the popup menu, but none of the menu entries respond to mouse clicks. When this happens, the "VPN connections" and "Other networks" menus also show up completely empty (only a small menu stub is displayed). It is uncertain what causes this behavior. It was originally thought that the cause was memory leaks in nm-applet: nm-applet leaks memory in a fresh install of Natty, increasing to over 200 Mb in 6-8 hours. However, fixes for the memory leaks failed to resolve the occurrence of the anomalous behavior described above. dbus-monitor shows errors such as the following when clicking a menu item or attempting to access a submenu: error sender=:1.14 -> dest=:1.67 error_name=org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._LIBDBUSMENU_2dGLIB.Code0 reply_serial=107705 string "The IDs supplied '[80846]' do not refer to any menu items we have" The errors are returned by bus_event_group or bus_about_to_show_group in libdbusmenu-glib/server.c. -- Stable Release Update Application: [Impact] This issue affects most and any users of nm-applet, especially in environments (such as offices) where the detected wireless networks change a lot, and where roaming can occur frequently. [Test Case] Run nm-applet for multiple hours: - Observe that the VPN Connections submenu still opens and lists connections (if VPN connections are configured) - Observe that the "More networks" submenu for additional detected wireless networks still opens and lists networks. A common failure case is where such a submenu will open but show an empty list (a piece of menu a few milimeters long). [Regression Potential] Minimal, the fixes have been available for a while in the development release (and in other recent releases) with no regressions; furthermore, this corrects "obviously" wrong memory handling without changing the effective behavior of the application. Possible issues could be introducing new memory leaks with the changes however, and although the risk is minimal, this could cause the same failure behavior as listed above under [Test Case]. -- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: network-manager-gnome 0.8.4~git.20110318t152954.9c4c9a0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-9.43-generic-pae 2.6.38.4 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-9-generic-pae i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: i386 CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Date: Tue May 10 11:53:09 2011 EcryptfsInUse: Yes IfupdownConfig: auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Beta i386 (20110413) IpRoute: 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.2.12 metric 1 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link metric 1000 default via 192.168.2.1 dev eth0 proto static Keyfiles: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory NetworkManager.state: [main] NetworkingEnabled=true WirelessEnabled=true WWANEnabled=true ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_CA:en PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: network-manager-applet UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/780602/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
