It was easily reproduced simply by using the network configuration tool on this particular hardware. The symptoms occurred even after reboots.
The dialog I referred to was not an error dialog, but a progress bar indicator. I only mentioned it because the network configuration tool has been so fast in my experience that I had never seen a progress bar in this context before. Even when the repaint delays were a problem, I got no "application not responding" message at all. -- network tool goes into busy loop trying to read nonexistent /root/.gnome2/network-admin-locations file on IBM xSeries 255 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148614 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
