Public bug reported: I have two instances of the applet: one for eth0 and one for wlan0. Upon login randomly, but mostly always one or both applets crash, and a message offering to remove the applet is displayed, occasionally two of these messages are presented. The .xsession-errors contains what seems to be a clue: > ** (gnome-panel:3065): WARNING **: Failed to load applet > OAFIID:GNOME_NetstatusApplet: > failed to get Bonobo/Control interface:
Uname: Linux 2.6.38-9-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 28 15:23:06 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Ubuntu version: lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 Codename: natty Using Ubuntu Classic session. I am not sure whether this can be related to the fact, that the interface is being connected by the Network Manager, at the time of applet initialisation. I lack the knowledge to further test. ** Affects: gnome-netstatus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/783438 Title: Applet randomly crashes on startup -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
