[Bug 132042] Re: wireless stops working until reboot

2012-10-28 Thread Dan Buch
Upgrading to Quantal has resulted in (seemingly) corrected behavior.
Wireless now connects noticeably faster and reconnects seamlessly after
waking from sleep & hibernation.  I'm going to keep my eye on this for a
while longer, attempt to do stupid things to cause breakage, but for now
the bug appears to be resolved.

[Bug 132042] Re: wireless stops working until reboot

2011-12-30 Thread Dan Buch
After running NetworkManager in the foreground for a few more days I
thought I'd go back to running it via the upstart service.  Within a
minute of `service network-manager start` I began getting prompted for
new network credentials (same old busted behavior.)  I kill'd
wpa_supplicant to see if the behavior was similar to when I was running
NetworkManager in the foreground, but it only made the situation better
for 2 minutes at most per restart.  Only after stopping the network-
manager service and going back to running NetworkManager in the
foreground did the situation improve.

Based on the experience of the past week, my next steps will likely be
to dig into the NetworkManager source to see if there's anything special
going on when the process is daemonized especially wrt wpa_supplicant.

[Bug 132042] Re: wireless stops working until reboot

2011-12-28 Thread Dan Buch
I've been running NetworkManager in the foreground (in a screen session)
for a few days now without any downtime... until a few minutes ago.
Upon waking from standby (from laptop lid being closed,) network
reconnected but then went into the familiar "attempt reconnect -> prompt
for creds -> repeat" loop after 2 minutes or so.  I let it loop a few
times, but then decided to kill wpa_supplicant based on the error
message in the logs frequently mentioning "supplicant" :-P  Once
wpa_supplicant re-spawned the network immediately reconnected.  Could
this indicate there's an issue with a stale pipe or socket wrt
wpa_supplicant?  It's probably worth noting that the PID of
wpa_supplicant when I TERM'd the process was 1033, which (I think) seems
to indicate it was one of the earliest processes spawned since last
boot.

[Bug 132042] Re: wireless stops working until reboot

2011-12-26 Thread Dan Buch
I'm now running NetworkManager in the foreground with output tee'd to a
file on tmpfs with the intent of not slowing things down *too* much
while keeping a record of what's going on.  This is the command:

NetworkManager --log-level=DEBUG --log-
domains=HW,RFKILL,ETHER,WIFI,BT,MB,DHCP4,DHCP6,PPP,WIFI_SCAN,IP4,IP6,AUTOIP4,DNS,VPN,SHARING,SUPPLICANT,AGENTS,SETTINGS,SUSPEND,CORE,DEVICE,OLPC,WIMAX
--no-daemon

pstree is reporting one child process:

/sbin/dhclient -d -4 -sf /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-
client.action -pf /var/run/dhclient-wlan0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp
/dhclient-059b0f80-592e-42bd-8b5a-0e947aa8eb0d-wlan0.lease -cf /var/run
/nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf wlan0

If I experience anything other than perfect wifi uptime while connected
to the current access point, I'll attach the log output.

[Bug 132042] Re: wireless stops working until reboot

2011-12-26 Thread Dan Buch
Since adding previous comment, I've installed rtl8192ce from source (from
Realtek's "92ce_se_de_linux_mac80211_0004.0816.2011.tar.gz".)  The wifi is now
working beyond its previous lifetime.  The only strange behavior I've seen so
far is that I was presented with *3* dialog windows for re-entering wifi
credentials even though I could see that the wifi icon wasn't "thinking" with
the arcs pulsing in and out.  I clicked `Connect` on all three windows (with
cached credentials still entered) and everything still worked fine.  I'd been
presented with the credential input windows before reinstalling rtl8192ce,
although it was never more than one at a time, the wifi icon was always
"thinking", and I was never able to successfully reconnect (having to reboot
instead.)

I'm happy to dig into this further (with my very limited knowledge of kernel
internals) if someone more knowledgeable can point the way.  I've already tried
turning up NetworkManager's logging both via NetworkManager.conf and by adding
the necessary flags to /etc/init/network-manager.conf but it either didn't work
or (more likely) I have no idea where to look for log output (would it be
/dev/null'd when launched via upstart?)

I first experienced this problem with the deskbar-applet package, but
now I'm getting the same error with the gedit-plugins package.  The
weird part (I think?) is that gedit-plugins seems to have installed just
fine - I just continue to receive this traceback whenever using apt-get:
