Tuhu, if you type the following three commands into a terminal window what is printed after each command?
sudo stop network-manager initctl status modemmanager ps p $(pgrep modem-manager) 2>/dev/null The third command should print something only if modem-manager is still running. It shouldn't be, but your /DEBUG file showed that it was and that's part of the problem. You'll want to restart network-manager by typing: sudo start network-manager What network devices are active on your computer whenever the problem occurs? Any mobile broadband devices at all? Have you looked at the log file /var/log/upstart/modemmanager.log to see if there are any error messages or warnings there? Bug #974187 reports modem-manager taking a very long time to shut down. That bug is unresolved and due to expire soon due to lack of activity. You might want to subscribe to that bug and add a "me too". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/963106 Title: NetworkManager causes orphaned inodes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/963106/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
