The apps should not rely on networking being present. We first
discovered this problem when we tried to do a demo without the network
cable plugged in.

Subject: [Bug 392716] Re: notification area applets crash on login

the thing is that if a network connection would have been possible the
system would automatically set the clock via ntp if an ntp server can be
reached during bringing up the interface. so due to the MAC address not
being set and in turn the interface not being able to be brought up the
fallback mechanism for setting the clock was blocked additionally to the
initial problem of the clock being off by ~50 years

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

Release: Ubuntu 9.04 (modified, see below) on Babbage1 or Babbage2.

The error is that notification applets reliably crash on login.  We get
about 10 message windows that say variations of The panel encountered a
problem while loading OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet.  Other applets that
crashed were: WorkspaceSwitcherApplet, TrashApplet, WindowListApplet,
FastUserSwitchApplet, ShowDesktopApplet, Mixer, IndicatorApplet, and
NotificationAreaApplet.

Babbage1:
Booting with default release 9.04 from Canonical is fine.  If I switch
out the Redboot for a newer RedBoot (200925), the notification area
applets all crash.  We are looking to see what changed in RedBoot to
cause this.  The system is functional and stable, networking works, etc
so any insights on what could cause these applets to crash on an
otherwise apparently functional system would be helpful.

To reproduce on Babbage1, take the Ubuntu 9.04 release and change the
redboot.  I have attached our 200925 redboot image.  To update the
redboot on the mmc card from a host (if it is /dev/sdc):

# dd if=mx51_babbage_redboot-no-padding.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=512 seek=2

Babbage2:

That is correct, the issue is not related to networking. It is related to the 
time not being set correctly. 

We (Freescale) will have to investigate to see why the time is not setup
correctly. However this should not cause Ubuntu to fail during bootup,
this needs investigation from Canonical.

We know the MAC address isn't set in fconfig; in previous RedBoot
version it would result in a static MAC address being set.

I don't think the lack of MAC address itself is an issue, unless it
prevents RedBoot from working properly.

The issue is rather with the clock not being picked up by the kernel,
probably because it was initialized differently or not at all.

I took a rootfs with GNOME I had prepared for Babbage 2 which was
working fine there, moved that to Babbage 1; it's on a SATA disk which I
plug via an USB adapter.  I could boot this using the new RedBoot
attached to this bug report (candidate 200925 I guess) and it would
trigger the described errors.  I then overwrote RedBoot with the 200918
version, and I got exactly the same issue.

The only difference in dmesg between the boots was in timing of some
device detections and an e2fsck line because the first boot triggerred
an fsck.

Could you please tell me with which kernel you're testing?  I tested
using a binary Babbage 2 kernel I got from FSL which seems to bring up
Babbage 1 fine (except above issues) including VGA port.

That is in sync with our findings. We have reported the change in
Redboot that causes the failure.

We are not clear why a change in the Redboot binary should impact
ubuntu. We have confirmed that all the Power-up code executed in that
function completed successfully, but for some reason Ubuntu throws up
the error messages.

We would like to know why Ubuntu gets impacted by a change in the
bootloader binary.

Hi,
On Babbage 1.0 Redboot picks up the MAC address from the fconfig structure. If 
the MAC address was not set in the fconfig structure, then it would not set the 
MAC address.
Please double check the fconfig structure has a valid MAC address in the 
failing case.

So in all bad boots, eth0's HWaddr was 00:00:00:00:00:00, and in all
good boots it was set properly; I think this just indicates that RedBoot
does more platform init in the old Ubuntu versions than in the newer FSL

Status in gnome-applets package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-applets

Release: Ubuntu 9.04 (modified, see below) on Babbage1 or Babbage2.

The error is that notification applets reliably crash on login.  We get
about 10 message windows that say variations of The panel encountered a
problem while loading OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet.  Other applets that
crashed were: WorkspaceSwitcherApplet, TrashApplet, WindowListApplet,
FastUserSwitchApplet, ShowDesktopApplet, Mixer, IndicatorApplet, and
NotificationAreaApplet.

Babbage1:
Booting with default release 9.04 from Canonical is fine.  If I switch out the 
Redboot for a newer RedBoot (200925), the notification area applets all crash.  
We are looking to see what changed in RedBoot to cause this.  The system is 
functional and stable, networking works, etc so any insights on what could 
cause these applets to crash on an otherwise apparently functional system would 
be helpful.

To reproduce on Babbage1, take the Ubuntu 9.04 release and change the
redboot.  I have attached our 200925 redboot image.  To update the
redboot on the mmc card from a host (if it is /dev/sdc):

# dd if=mx51_babbage_redboot-no-padding.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=512 seek=2

Babbage2:
Release: Ubuntu 9.04 with an updated kernel image, no initrd, updated redboot 
If we boot with an ethernet cable plugged in, no error.  Booting without the 
ethernet cable causes all the notification area applets to crash on login.
