Bug Description

Binary package hint: knetworkmanager

The output of /var/log/daemon.log says:

Jan 21 18:46:48 localhost dhclient: receive_packet failed on eth1: Network is down
Jan 21 18:46:50 localhost NetworkManager: <information>^IError from dhcdbd on 'reason' request because: name 'org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.LimitsExceeded', message 'The maximum number of pending replies per connection has been reached'.

The workaround is to restart dbus completely.

Is this still an issue? What can I do to try and reproduce this? At this time I am unable to do so. Thank you.

Perhaps you can force your wireless connection to fail a lot of times, maybe shutting down the wireless router and turning it on again. The failures in my case are real, (bug 78181) but I think this is an additional issue that would require a different fix.

I see this with release Feisty using GNOME. It doesn't seem to be easily reproduced, but if I switch between wired and wireless (which I do tend to do quite a few times a day), it shows up before long (e.g. my laptop uptime is <4days)

afaik this should be not an issue anymore. most likely was a leak of dbus connections back then.
