Description Plug Gulp 2010-01-04 12:46:34 UTC

Description of problem:
With latest update of Fedora 12, the system has become unstable. NetworkManager is altogether disabled and the system freezes. I had to do hard reboot after few seconds. The NetworkManager package is NetworkManager-1:0.7.996-6.git20091021.fc12
The kernel is 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.PAE. The crash manager notifies of the kernel crash and dmesg shows an error: "[drm:drm_mode_rmfb] *ERROR* tried to remove a fb that we didn't own"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-1:0.7.996-6.git20091021.fc12
Kernel 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.PAE

How reproducible:
No specific procedure, just restart the system after an update from 03 Jan 2010.

  
Actual results:
NetworkManager is disabled and system freezes.

Expected results:
NetworkManager should be enabled and system should not freeze.

Additional info:

The system freeze appears to be DRM/graphics related and not NetworkManager related actually.

When you say "network manager is disabled", what specifically do you mean?  Is the 'Networking enabled' checkbox in the nm-applet right-click menu unchecked?  Or something else?

If you can, can you grab the kernel log messages with a command like this typed into a terminal:

dmesg > /tmp/kernel.log

and then attach that file to this bug report?

Yep, sorry for that. I stumbled across two problem at the same time, the Networkmanager issue and the drm error. Someone has already logged a bug related to drm in bugzilla.

The "Networking enabled" checkbox gets automatically disabled after update. And there is no notification that the checkbox has been disabled.

As the bug is already in the database, I will avoid duplicating it here.

Thanks and regards,
