Description of problem: Attempting shutdown, I am seeing an error message of the following form and the shutdown hangs: [186454.6652103]NetworkManager[930]: <error> [1323907401.574780][NetworkManagerUtils.c:519] nm_utils_call_dispatcher(): could not get dispatcher proxy! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): During update to kernel 2.6.41.1-1.fc15.x86_64 and to kernel 2.6.41.4-1.fc15.x86_64. I don't know the version number of the relevant NetworkManager. How reproducible: Shutdown to reboot with new kernel. I don't recall this happening when I was not updating the kernel, but I rarely shutdown unless I am updating it. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run PackageKit to install updates including Kernel 2.'shutdown -r now' 3. Actual results: Shutdown hangs as above Expected results: System should restart with the new kernel and updated kmod-nvidia Additional info: Looks suspiciously similar to bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676316 for i386 FC13, FC14. After powering down and rebooting, a grep for nm_utils in /var/log/* turns up no hits, so I cannot find any logged information. When the shutdown is being performed to boot to a new kernel, the hang seems to occur at a time before akmod-nvidia has had a chance to finish building the new nvidia kernel module. A file of the correct name exists, but is not a valid driver and this causes the display manager to not come up upon reboot. After reboot, therefore, I go to a console and execute 'yum reinstall kmod-nvidia{version}', in the hope that a kernel module for it has been released.
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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
