Description Miroslav Suchý 2014-07-15 09:05:53 UTC 
Description of problem:
If you delete all connections in nmtui and then select 'Activate a connection', then nmtui exit with non-friendly error message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.9.10.0-1.git20140704.fc21

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. nmtui
2. Edit a connection
3. delete all connections there
4. Exit nmtui
5. start nmtui again
6. select 'Activate a connections'

Actual results:
nmtui:ERROR:nmt-newt-listbox.c:333:update_active_internal: assertion failed: (priv->active >= 0 && priv->active < priv->entries->len)
Aborted

And end with ncurses dialog still drawn in screen, which looks pretty ugly.


Expected results:
Either clear screen and write nice error message.
Or show dialog with empty list of connections to activate. (I prefer this one)

Comment 2 Wade Mealing 2015-02-19 04:36:01 UTC 
My problem may be related to this being a cloned virtual host.. mac address duplication or mismatch perhaps.
Comment 3 Jirka Klimes 2015-02-27 22:10:54 UTC 
The bug has been fixed upstream:
master: 5aa204e tui: fix a crash when connection list for activation is empty (rh #1119663)
nm-0-9-10: 5e621c4 tui: fix a crash when connection list for activation is empty (rh #1119663)

We will push the fix to Fedora in a next build.

Comment 8 monu 2020-08-30 19:44:14 UTC 
Here the problem is you deleted all default parameters including mac address. 

Solution is..

Do not delete the mac address or you can keep it empty so that it can select default mac address in backend.
But never put any value here axcept default mac address.

  Do not delete the mac address(device) or you can keep it empty so that it can select default mac address in backend.
  But never put any value here axcept default mac address.

There mac address represented by "device".
