rutilt 0.15-0ubuntu5 crashes while applying a profile

Many thanks for this report.
Can you please tell us what data you have inserted in your profile that makes the application crash?
In particular Name and SSID in Wireless Profile, but if you could report all fields we would be grateful.

In "New profile" window:

- Wireless settings
Name=Casa
SSID=wlan-casa
Mode=Managed
Channel=4
Authentication=WPAPSK
Encryption=TKIP
key=myasciikey

- IP settings
Automatic (DHCP)

I still can't reproduce this on my machine.
Can you check if there is a crash report in /var/crash and if so attach it to this bug report?
It should be called something like _usr_bin_rutilt.1000.crash or _usr_bin_rutilt_helper.0.crash.

If such a report is not available, you can help us anyhow by following this procedure:

1) Add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file (remember that you need su privileges to edit it):

deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/ddebs gutsy main universe

2) Open a terminal and update your cache with this command:

sudo apt-get update

3) Install the debug symbols with:

sudo apt-get install rutilt-dbgsym

4) Make a backtrace following this instructions:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace

Finally, please attach the results here.

Here are the gdb backtrace:

Cesare, this looks exactly the same as the crash I fixed with 020_fix_refresh_rate_crash.diff.

Thanks for confirming this Ben.
I'm subscribing motu-uvf to ask for an ack to SRU.
Fix also includes two other patches from Ben:

patch 018_up_and_down.diff to improve reliability with "legacy" drivers
patch 019_fix_ap_address.diff

rutilt (0.15-0ubuntu6) hardy; urgency=low

  * Add following patches from Debian/Ben Hutchings:
    - 018_up_and_down.diff: improve reliability with "legacy" drivers
    - 019_fix_ap_address.diff
    - 020_fix_refresh_rate_crash.diff (LP: #155498)
  * Refreshed line numbers in patches:
    001_fix_desktop.diff
    003_fix_ELF_location.diff

Accepted into gutsy-proposed, please test.

To test it, please add the following line to your sources.list:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-proposed universe

Then, update and upgrade (or install) rutilt.

Check that the application doesn't crash anymore after making a new profile and pressing the "Apply" button.

Please test the package in gutsy-proposed and report here. If we don't have at least two positive feedbacks this fix will not be applied.

Hi

tested it , but it does not work , back to the previous version and locked that version (just in case)

I do not get a connection in this new version . (normally it all works fine)

Thanks for the report.
Its interesting, I'm using it without any problem since more than a month already.
Everything else is normal? Is it giving a connection if you scan? Any other info that you can give which could be relevant (version, driver version/type, etc.)?

installed version 015-0ubuntu5 . driver rt73 . I failed to save the info when it was not working , All i remember i did not connect (cuurent version connects instantly).

I have all the latest updates (proprosed gutsy applied)

I can test again and will get the info you need (just tell me what and how)

I guess you have the stock r73 driver installed, that included with the kernel, correct?
Can you install again the rutilt version in -proposed (its version 0.15-0ubuntu5.1) and check what happens when you:

1. Scan and then connect
2. Create a new profile and then apply it

The version in -proposed also includes a fix which is currently applied in the hardy version, to improve the reliability with the legacy driver. It is possible that this is what is causing your trouble.

Thanks for helping us!

We have an interesting report on this Ben. Apparently some problems with
018_up_and_down.diff which I applied together with
020_fix_refresh_rate_crash.diff.
Would you be interested to have a look at it?

Cheers,

Cesare

I just installed the new version again ( it shows RutilT v0.15-0ubuntu5.1 dated nov 7 2007 06:56:32 CET )
The good news is that is is working OK , no clues what has changed since te last time i tested ..

It works on Gutsy

Thanks everybody

Thanks everybody for testing.

Since we have two successful tests (3 counting me) and 7 days have elapsed, I'm tagging this as verification-motu-done and I'm subscribing this to the archive admins to request that this package is moved from -proposed to -updates, in accordance to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Universe
