Why do you think that NetworkManager will cause crashes to other programs? It won't. If you see a crash of Firefox (or something else), please report that via abrt or manually to appropriate component. In case, you have problems with establishing a network connection, attach /var/log/messages to this report. This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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 to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
Description of problem: I ran Yum Update with Updates-Testing as per usual and NM was updated. Afterwards, Firefox started crashing, and still does about 20% of the time. IRSSI and Empephany don't seem to crash, but they won't connect to IRC or Facebook. Fedora-easy-karma fails 100% of the time, yum fails 80%; both give seg fault errors as their output. The Gnome clock applet crashes 100% of the time when it tries to synchronize with network time. konqueror fails 100% of the time. When I could get yum to work, it would not allow me to downgrade, giving the following output: [root@jdulaney ~]# yum downgrade NetworkManager Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Downgrade Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package NetworkManager.i686 1:0.8.999-2.git20110509.fc15 will be a downgrade --> Processing Dependency: NetworkManager-glib = 1:0.8.999-2.git20110509.fc15 for package: 1:NetworkManager-0.8.999-2.git20110509.fc15.i686 ---> Package NetworkManager.i686 1:0.8.9997-1.git20110531.fc15 will be erased --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: 1:NetworkManager-gnome-0.8.9997-1.git20110531.fc15.i686 (@updates) Requires: NetworkManager = 1:0.8.9997-1.git20110531.fc15 Removing: 1:NetworkManager-0.8.9997-1.git20110531.fc15.i686 (@updates) NetworkManager = 1:0.8.9997-1.git20110531.fc15 Downgraded By: 1:NetworkManager-0.8.999-2.git20110509.fc15.i686 (fedora) NetworkManager = 1:0.8.999-2.git20110509.fc15 Error: Package: 1:NetworkManager-0.8.999-2.git20110509.fc15.i686 (fedora) Requires: NetworkManager-glib = 1:0.8.999-2.git20110509.fc15 Installed: 1:NetworkManager-glib-0.8.9997-1.git20110531.fc15.i686 (@updates) NetworkManager-glib = 1:0.8.9997-1.git20110531.fc15 Available: 1:NetworkManager-glib-0.8.999-2.git20110509.fc15.i686 (fedora) NetworkManager-glib = 1:0.8.999-2.git20110509.fc15 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): See title How reproducible: See above. Reproducibility goes up in inverse proportion to wifi signal strength. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open up any program the access the internet 2. Failure rate as noted above
