Bug 1299666

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1265730 +++

Description of problem:
Whenever I boot the system or resume it from a suspend, GNOME Network Manager's status icon shows the ethernet icon with a question mark as NM thinks it only has local connectivity. If I restart the NetworkManager.service, it the icon changes to the standard ethernet icon.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.9.10.2-5.fc21.x86_64

How reproducible:
100 %

Steps to Reproduce:
1. suspend and resume a machine with ethernet connection

Actual results:
NM thinks it only has local connectivity

Expected results:
NM reports global (Internet) connectivity

Additional info:
don't have another F21 machine to check it it's specific to my machine or not

It's not just your machine.

I started seeing this (the '?' instead of the usual WiFi strength indicator) yesterday after updating to kernel-4.1.8-100.fc21.x86_64. (FWIW updates to enca, epiphany-runtime, freedts, liberation-fonts, perl-Encode, python-pycurl, python3-pycurl, and sqlite came down at the same time.)

As suggested,

    $ su -c 'service NetworkManager restart'

clears the problem temporarily for me. However, suspending and resuming did not bring the problem back. (Perhaps because I resumed immediately after suspending.)

I'd be happy to provide more information or perform tests if needed.

NetworkManager correctly auto-activates ethernet connection on resume (even if it takes some time due to computer slow wake up).

Anyway, can you get output of
$ nmcli device
$ nmcli general
to see the NetworkManager state, because the issue can be just Gnome icon problem.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '21'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

I neglected to report this before, but for me at least -- the situation may be different for the OP -- the problem lasted only a few days (during which time it happened absolutely consistently) and went away after an update, so it must have been very promptly fixed.

So -- assuming I was experiencing the same issue as the OP (and it certainly seems that it was the same) -- this bug can indeed be safely closed.

This is what I got today after resume from suspend:

I just tried to suspend and resume a Fedora 23 system running on the same machine and everything works here as expected. So since F21 is almost EOL anyway, I don't think anybody should spend extra time tracking down this issue.

--- Additional comment from Fedora End Of Life on 2015-12-02 10:27:53 EST ---

Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a fresh installation of Fedora 23 workstation on a hp 820g1 laptop.

I experience the same behaviour as the cloned bug, except that after supend/resume there is connectivity if there was connectivity before.
So, after every boot I have to restart NetworkManager.service.

I have this problem since I set up the system a couple of months ago. The system has been updated once a week or so.
