My Asus Eeepc 1000H (eeebuntu, intrepid) get this error message in ~/.xsession-errors if the SSID is hidden by the WLAN network. It takes a very long time until there is a connetion established. --- ** (nm-applet:5573): CRITICAL **: nm_utils_ssid_to_utf8: assertion `ssid != NULL' failed ** (nm-applet:5573): CRITICAL **: nm_utils_ssid_to_utf8: assertion `ssid != NULL' failed ** (nm-applet:5573): CRITICAL **: nm_utils_ssid_to_utf8: assertion `ssid != NULL' failed ** (nm-applet:5573): CRITICAL **: nm_utils_ssid_to_utf8: assertion `ssid != NULL' failed ... ...

My gess is that nm-applet fails because of the hidden SSID. In fact there is no SSID. The SSID field in the broadcasted WLAN beacon frame is empty. (I suppose "ssid" should be a zero length string, not a NULL pointer) -- Repeated CRITICAL **: nm_utils_ssid_to_utf8: assertion `ssid != NULL' failed in .xsession-errors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282209 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
