Description of problem: Try to use bluetooth tethering by connecting to your phone (I use corresponding menu from gnome-menu, but any other networkmanager tool gives same result): NetworkManager[883]: <info> [1517855956.3374] dhcp4 (bnep0): activation: beginning transaction (timeou NetworkManager[883]: ((src/platform/nm-platform.c:2650)): assertion '<dropped>' failed NetworkManager[883]: g_array_sort_with_data: assertion 'array != NULL' failed kernel: NetworkManager[883]: segfault at 8 ip 00000000004a5ff2 sp 00007ffd219ae5e0 error 4 in NetworkMa As a result of networkmanager crash, dhcp is not triggered (can fix that by running "dhclient bnep0"), and NM fails to acknowledge the device afterwards: when trying to setup VPN connection it fails with result="fail" reason="Could not find source connection." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.8.0 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable bluetooth tethering on your mobile 2. try to enable the bt internet connection via networkmanager 3. fails to init properly, no internet connection (can get internet by manually running dhclient as outlined above, but even after that enabling VPN is not possible using networkmanager)
