Package: network-manager-kde Version: 1:0.2-2 Severity: normal This bug reports a severe, but not reproducible, problem. Given the severity, and the resemblance to some existing bugs, I thought it would be useful to report anyway. I am quite unsure what package is the ultimate cause of the problem.
After using knetworkmanager to turn on a wireless network 1) the icon for knetworkmanager disappeared from the kicker 2) the kicker itself stopped being painted and responding 3) when I tried to shut the system down, with shutdown -r now, it would not shut down and I had to power off. When I restarted, things seemed to be working alright. Fuller history: My laptop has an Intel 4965AGN wireless card and a regular ethernet connection as well. The latter is unplugged. I had been starting both with conventional /etc/network/interfaces (using wpa-* options), bring the interfaces up manually. After reading the Debian instructions for network-manager I changed interfaces to auto lo iface lo inet loopback address 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp and shutdown. When I restarted, dhcpclient was trying to get information for wlan0 during the initial system startup. This produced a delay, and doesn't seem like proper behavior, but ultimately the system started. I logged in to my account under KDE, and knetworkmanager (via the applet in the kicker) showed available networks. I selected mine, which is password protected, and entered the password. This failed. This progress indicator went up through 25%, and the logs show it at stage 2. I tried again and failed again. At this point, the icon for knetworkmanager disappeared, the kicker became unresponsive and was not repainted (so eventually nothing was visible in it), and there was an initial period of high CPU use from xorg. The CPU use quieted down. The kicker and 2 wpa_supplicant processes (wpa_supplicant as root) were all in state D (uninterruptible sleep) according to ps. During the whole time dhcp-client continued to attempt to get information non both eth0 and wlan0. >From within a root shell in my KDE session I executed shutdown -r now. Nothing appeared in virtual terminal 1 (which was displaying the startup messages), but vt7 did lose the KDE session and showed messages for the shutdown of window managers and "shutting down apache2." The cursor remained after the end of that last line. I had to hit the power off, which was a dirty shutdown. On reboot, I was not connected to anything. However, this time I used knetworkmanager to connect to my wireless network.
