Package: network-manager Version: 0.9.6.4-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The connectivity checking feature introduced by version 0.9.4 of network-manager doesn't work with the Debian provided version. I added the [connectivity] section (see below) and also tried with the command-line options. Neither works. NM creates no related network traffic, as monitored with ngrep. There is also no mention of the settings, functionality nor failure in syslog, not even with log-level=DEBUG. The functionality is described in the man-page and with --help so it should be expected it is available. The feature requires the use of libsoup. Checking with ldd it reveals that nm isn't linked against it: $ ldd /usr/sbin/NetworkManager | grep soup -c 0 So it seems nm isn't compiled with libsoup headers present. Why the option is mentioned in the --help and the man page even though it clearly isn't compiled in is another bug, one that will become obsolete once nm is compiled against libsoup. Please compile nm against libsoup so the connectivity feature can be used. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (300, 'experimental'), (90, 'oneiric') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.5-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages network-manager depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dbus 1.6.8-1 ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii isc-dhcp-client 4.2.4-3 ii libc6 2.13-36 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100-1 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.0-3 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-3 ii libgnutls26 2.12.20-1 ii libgudev-1.0-0 175-7 ii libnl-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libnl-genl-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libnl-route-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libnm-glib4 0.9.6.4-1 ii libnm-util2 0.9.6.4-1 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-1 ii libuuid1 2.20.1-5.2 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian7 ii udev 175-7 ii wpasupplicant 1.0-3 Versions of packages network-manager recommends: pn crda <none> ii dnsmasq-base 2.63-4 ii iptables 1.4.16.3-1 ii modemmanager 0.5.2.0-2 ii policykit-1 0.105-1 ii ppp 2.4.5-5.1+b1 Versions of packages network-manager suggests: pn avahi-autoipd <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf changed: [main] plugins=keyfile [ifupdown] managed=true [connectivity] uri=http://start.ubuntu.com/connectivity-check.html response=Lorem ipsum interval=30 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
