NetworkManager randomly dying?
Has anyone else observed NetworkManager dying on them randomly? I say
randomly because I don't see a pattern to it yet; no doubt it is
deterministic in some way.
I'm current on rawhide, including NetworkManager-0.2-1.
Nothing spectacular happens to indicate its death; I just happen to
occasionally notice the network is down, and...
# service NetworkManager status
NetworkManager dead but pid file exists
The only remotely useful thing I can find in /var/log/messages:
Aug 31 00:00:22 ip68-110-7-34 NetworkManager: AUTO: Best wired device =
(null)
Aug 31 00:00:22 ip68-110-7-34 NetworkManager: AUTO: Best wireless device =
(null) (null)
Aug 31 00:00:22 ip68-110-7-34 NetworkManager:
nm_state_modification_monitor(): beginning activation for device '(null)'
with this additional line after those in /var/log/debug (to which I have
syslog dumping *.debug):
Aug 31 00:00:22 ip68-110-7-34 NetworkManager:
nm_device_activation_cancel(eth1): canceled
I'm planning on doing further debugging, but first maybe someone needs to
add the NetworkManager package to bugzilla? Or is it there and I'm just
blind?
