Public bug reported: GNOME Netstatus lives in the menu bar and presents an overview of the network status. Double-clicking on the menubar icon presents a dialogue with a further option to launch 'network-admin' and configure a selected, or multiple, network interfaces.
This dialogue does not appear if the last previously selected interface is not available. Instead an error message is displayed: SIOCGIFFLAGS error: No such device [Close] A screenshot of the error dialogue (top) and normal operation (bottom) is: http://www.paul.sladen.org/ubuntu/bugs/network-monitor-no-such- interface.png The second screenshot was taken by doing a manual: $ sudo brctl addbr br1 to create the interface. If 'gnome-netstatus' finds that the last previously selected interface is not queriable, it should gracefully accept and than move onto the next interface; or (more easily) simply display an empty interface text-entry box. ** Affects: gnome-netstatus (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed -- Exits with SIOCGIFFLAGS if selected interface no longer exists https://launchpad.net/bugs/44604 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
