Happened again today. No specific reason. NetworkManager lost the wireless connection, and it failed to reconnect. After noticing the computer s little slow, I checked a 'top' and there it was, wpa_supplicant stuck again.
Since the whole issue seems to be related to sudo -I can't do any sudoing on any terminal-, perhaps this is related to the bioapi. I have the bioapi (for the fingerprint reader) setup so that sudo only uses it if one pushes return immediately on being prompted for a password. But in any case it's strange that it has only happened twice, all thee other weeks the wireless roaming working just fine between free networks and password-required networks (that need to access the key lock). Prompts for the key lock or for administrator access work just fine (i.e. the bioapi is never involved, I just type the password on the prompt window). -- wpa_supplicant locked up consuming 100% resources https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
