Description of problem: hi, mgaapplet crashes (segment fault) when i try to start my ppp0 connection. the ppp0 connection uses the thethering feature of my LG E720 and TIM as provider. No issues were discovered using wi-fi connection. thank you Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep mgaonline mgaonline-2.81-1.mga3 How reproducible: Create 3g/GPRS/EDGE connection-> LG E720-> TIM (internet provider). right click on mgaapplet->start ppp0 connection Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
there was not backtrace ? (and it's likely more drakx-net)
of course, i made a mistake :-) these are the packages: libdrakx-net-1.24-1.mga3 drakx-net-1.24-1.mga3 drakx-net-applet-1.24-1.mga3 drakx-net-text-1.24-1.mga3 i have no backtrace.
Source RPM: mgaonline-2.81-1.mga3 => drakx-net
Source RPM: drakx-net => drakx-net-1.24-1.mga3
then it's kind of useless, can you reproduce it ?
Summary: Mgaapplet crashes when i try to start ppp0 connection (3G connection) => net_applet crashes when i try to start ppp0 connection (3G connection)
yes, i can. maybe can i install the devel packages in order to have a useful backtrace to fix this bug? which packages do i have to install? thank you
assigning it to Thierry Vignaud, because if i'm not wrong, he's the current drakx-net maintainer.

Well it would be Blino (unless he's already father-ing his baby) Anyway I've no hardware to reproduce or test... Marcello: 1) didn't drabug popup a window when net_applet segfaulted? what was displayed in it? (that would be trace to attach to this bug report) 2) could you get a gdb trace ? Just do the following: - enable the "core release debug" medium in MCC's media manager or on command line: urpmi.update --no-ignore Core\ Release\ Debug urpmi.update Core\ Release\ Debug - install the needed packages: urpmi gdb perl{,-Gtk2,-Glib}-debuginfo {glib2.0,gtk+2.0}-debuginfo - then get PID of net_applet with "ps awx|fgrep net_applet" eg: "31298 ? S 2:30 /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/net_applet" Here it would be 31298 on my machine - attach gdb to this PID prior to its segfault: gdb perl <PID> (eg: "gdb perl 31298" on my machine) - type "cont" then <ENTER> - try to connect ppp0 - once it segfaults, type "bt"<ENTER> - copy the backtrace printed by gdb in a text file you'll attach to this bug report

thank you thierry for helping me :-) no, there is not dragbug popup when net_applet segfaults, only the message (in konsole) "segment fault". now i'm using my smartphone connection (with limited GBs available) to use internet, as soon as i can i'll follow all the steps you asked me. thank you and hear you soon ;-) cheers, Marcello
Created attachment 4159 [details] backtrace of net_applet crash done. i hope i've followed the steps in the right way. tell me if i made mistakes or if you need anything else. cheers

This looks like bug #10289 (which I workarounded in drakconf by delaying an event)
CC: (none) => jquelinSource RPM: drakx-net-1.24-1.mga3 => drakx-net-1.24-1.mga3, perl
i have updated my system with recent updates (mcc and draktools included) but it still happens... is the workaround included in those updates or not?
The workaround is only for mcc. And I need to delay the event a little bit more as it still happen on some slow machines
Thierry, are you working on this bug? i know there is a lack of manpower but i would be really grateful because it's a really annoying bug (and together with bug #10735 i'm making a collection of them :-) ) please, let me know cheers, Marcello
news?
thierry, can you fix this issue also for net_applet? thanks cheers, Marcello PS= i'm waiting for your interview reply
Sadly, there's not enough data for me to do anything :-( And I don't have the HW to reproduce However could you try current Cauldron (== incoming Mageia 4 beta2)? We've fixed some segfaults with net_applet.
unfortunately now i need a 100% fully working system because i'm writing the thesis for my graduation... as i finish (hope soon :) i'll try it and let you know cheers, Marcello
You can do a dual-boot between mga3 & mga4...
Summary: net_applet crashes when i try to start ppp0 connection (3G connection) => net_applet segfaults when I try to start ppp0 connection (3G connection)
Note that I've made a fix in drakx-net in order to prevent mgaapplet to segault (bug #12041). It may helps your bug
