Dear Philip, thank you for taking the time to look into this issue. VirtualBox is an essential component of the course I am teaching this period, I cannot remove it and am weary of tampering with it. It took me over a week to get it working on Ubuntu 24.04, therefore I will wait for this period to end before removing/modifying VirtualBox.
That said, these freeze ups with NetworkManager I report here have been happening ever since I installed Ubuntu 24.04, before I installed VirtualBox. Whereas I cannot be certain, I doubt one thing is related to the other. I am yet to try a different kernel. Again, I am weary of messing up the system at this stage. In any case, apt is listing only linux- image-6.8.0-45-generic, I still have to figure how to get a different version. I will keep reporting progress on this. Thank you. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2080489 Title: Network Manager stops functioning on Ubuntu 24.04 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I installed Ubuntu 24.04 about a month ago on a Asus Vivobook. Soon after the NetworkManager started misbehaving, with all connections to the internet becoming idle now and then. When this event happens the only way to restore internet access is to reboot the system. If initially these events were occasional, they now take place 3 or 4 times per day, often after signing in from the lock screen. So far I was not able to verify whether NetworkManager is actually crashing, the Settings programme reports "NetworkManager not running" (see attached image). However, in the command line `systemctl` reports an active service: ``` $ systemctl status NetworkManager ● NetworkManager.service - Network Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service; enabled> Active: active (running) since Sun 2024-08-27 18:21:44 WEST; 2h 18min a> Docs: man:NetworkManager(8) Main PID: 1149 (NetworkManager) Tasks: 4 (limit: 18646) Memory: 12.2M (peak: 28.6M) CPU: 836ms CGroup: /system.slice/NetworkManager.service └─1149 /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon ago 27 19:34:08 Symbolic NetworkManager[1149]: <info> [1724006048.8961] man> ago 27 19:34:08 Symbolic NetworkManager[1149]: <info> [1724006048.8965] dev> ago 27 19:34:09 Symbolic NetworkManager[1149]: <info> [1724006049.1482] dev> ago 27 19:34:09 Symbolic NetworkManager[1149]: <info> [1724006049.1484] dev> ago 27 19:34:09 Symbolic NetworkManager[1149]: <info> [1724006049.1488] dhc> ago 27 19:34:09 Symbolic NetworkManager[1149]: <info> [1724006049.1488] dhc> ago 27 19:34:09 Symbolic NetworkManager[1149]: <info> [1724006049.1489] dhc> ago 27 19:34:09 Symbolic NetworkManager[1149]: <info> [1724006049.2049] dev> ago 27 20:33:50 Symbolic NetworkManager[1149]: <info> [1724009630.5340] man> ago 27 20:33:50 Symbolic NetworkManager[1149]: <info> [1724009630.5344] dev> ``` But if I try to restart the service, the command line just hangs up: ``` $ ping 1.1.1.1 ping: connect: Network is unreachable $ sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager ``` Also from `ifconfig` there is no response: ``` $ ifconfig -a ``` Please let me know if there is further useful information I can report.
