after more investigation with awe on IRC, I can provide the following info:
here are the packages I have in the apt cache: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/12021300/ nothing that could cause this issue, as far as I can tell More info about the problem: "nmcli d" reports mobile data as CONNECTED, wifi as wlan0 wifi connecting (getting IP configuration) Morino Morino is an AP that doesn't exist in the place where I am right now, it is an access point which was created via Win8.1 at home (infrastructure mode) in an attempt to share the internet connection of a laptop running Win8. So, it seems NM is stuck trying to connect to an access point which doesn't currently exist. The network indicator shows the mobile data icon, yet the wifi network lists shows "Morino" (the non-existing AP) as green, which means it's connected (or connecting as well, maybe?) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1480877 Title: Access points' "PropertiesChanged" dbus signals freeze UI on mobile devices Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu: New Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Krillin, rc-proposed, r83 DESCRIPTION: I've been trying to track down the cause of the occasional UI freezes on my Krillin device, and I noticed that whenever the UI freezes for 2-4 seconds, I get a burst of "PropertiesChanged" signals in dbus-monitor Here's a log of what's shown in dbus-monitor: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11992322/ I'd guess the problem is in the code that actually catches the signals and acts accordingly. HOW TO REPRODUCE: 1) Move to a place where many wifi hotspots are available 2) Connect the device via USB and run "phablet-shell" and then "dbus-monitor" 3) Use the device while keeping an eye on dbus-monitor output To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-network/+bug/1480877/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
