Which version of NetworkManager and network-manager-applet do you have? Pushed fix for master to branch bg/vpn-state-rh1442782. (In reply to Beniamino Galvani from comment #2) > Pushed fix for master to branch bg/vpn-state-rh1442782. lgtm. From the commit messages it is not clear which one fixes this bug (and why). could you elaborate? Also, add "Fixes: c6e787aac808b2b434455eae8be0137cbab4892a" for commit "applet: fix handling of VPN state changes" (In reply to Beniamino Galvani from comment #1) > Which version of NetworkManager and network-manager-applet do you have? NetworkManager-1.4.4-3.fc25.x86_64 network-manager-applet-1.4.0-1.fc25.x86_64 (In reply to Thomas Haller from comment #3) > From the commit messages it is not clear which one fixes this bug (and why). > could you elaborate? I have updated the commit messages. On master, both "applet: fix handling of VPN state changes" and "applet: subscribe to notify::state property of unsupported devices" are needed to fix the issue. In 1.4 versions only the latter. > Also, add "Fixes: c6e787aac808b2b434455eae8be0137cbab4892a" for commit > "applet: fix handling of VPN state changes" Added, thanks. lgtm Merged to master: https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-applet/commit/?id=84bf7d08cc3cf135d6f4c2956473d5ab23f30158 Also, backported one of the commits to nm-1-4: https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-applet/commit/?h=nm-1-4&id=860b9d711d3d54a839efe1e2db0cc28e97a5f04d This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '25'. 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 25 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. Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 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. |
When a VPN is in use (with openconnect in this case, I haven't tried other VPN kinds), nm-applet wakes up several hundred times per second. This happens regardless if there is traffic over the VPN or if there's no traffic. This is not good for the battery life... When the VPN is not connected nm-applet does not wake up all the time. The VPN is managed by NetworkManager. This happens when nm-applet is used with XFCE, I didn't checke other desktop environments. strace -p on the nm-applet process shows this: poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLIN}]) recvfrom(3, "\0\0\0\0", 4, 0, NULL, NULL) = 4 recvmsg(3, {msg_namelen=0}, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recvmsg(3, {msg_namelen=0}, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLOUT}]) writev(3, [{iov_base="%(\1\0", iov_len=4}, {iov_base=NULL, iov_len=0}, {iov_base="", iov_len=0}], 3) = 4 recvmsg(3, {msg_namelen=0}, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLOUT}]) writev(3, [{iov_base="+(\1\0", iov_len=4}, {iov_base=NULL, iov_len=0}, {iov_base="", iov_len=0}], 3) = 4 poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLIN}]) recvmsg(3, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=[{iov_base="\1\1\325z\0\0\0\0\"\0`\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", iov_len=4096}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 32 recvmsg(3, {msg_namelen=0}, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recvmsg(3, {msg_namelen=0}, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {tv_sec=690201, tv_nsec=877424086}) = 0 recvmsg(3, {msg_namelen=0}, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}], 3, 99^Cstrace: Process 1377 detached <detached ...>
