Setting back to Confirmed since "Opinion" actually means it's closed as being somebody's opinion rather than a bug...
Confirming on the basis that there are multiple people who see this happening, although the exact cause is still unknown. What would be helpful, is if someone who sees this happen frequently could install debug packages for network-manager-gnome (add the line "deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ maverick main" to /etc/apt/sources.list if running in 10.10, then install network-manager-gnome-dbgsym libnm- glib2-dbgsym libnm-util1-dbgsym libglib2.0-0-dbgsym), and run nm-applet in a debugger: gdb --args nm-applet When the debugger starts, type "run" to have nm-applet be started. Once it crashes, type "bt full" then attach the whole output to this bug report. ** Changed in: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Status: Opinion => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/664763 Title: nm-applet crashes if there is no internet: Caught signal 15 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
