SOFTWARE VERSION: 3.2010.02-8 EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: (Explain in detail what you do (e.g. tap on OK) and what you see (e.g. message Connection Failed appears)) 1. Tap "Internet Connection" from status bar. EXPECTED OUTCOME: "Select Connection" window opens and I can see all the neighbor WLAN access points and cellular operators GPRS service name. ACTUAL OUTCOME: "Select Connection" window opens. First time it will try to find networks (spinning logo), after that only says "No connection available". REPRODUCIBILITY: (always, less than 1/10, 5/10, 9/10) Current situation: always EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED: vpnc and vpngui OTHER COMMENTS: The "Select Connection" window was working without problems, but after one day it stays blank. If I remember correctly, that happened after VPN (vpnc) connection died (very quick yellow label flashed up in the display, didn't catch the message). Now I can start the Internet connection by using the WLAN or GPRS interface by using the dbus-send command (http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control#Networking). I can see the cellular GPRS connection information and WLAN APs from Settings -> Internet Connections -> Connections (and from /var/lib/gconf/system/osso/connectivity/IAP/ directory). I don't know if this behavior is normal, but right now icd2 looks like to be restarted when "Internet Connection" is pushed: ---- May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 icd2 0.87+fremantle6.1+0m5[2572]: Received com.nokia.icd2.select_req (u) request May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 icd2 0.87+fremantle6.1+0m5[2572]: tracking info sender ':1.56' and message (nil) added to request 0x3a160 May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 icd2 0.87+fremantle6.1+0m5[2572]: requesting request 0x3a160, attr 1, (null)/0/(null),(null)/0/[ASK] May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 icd2 0.87+fremantle6.1+0m5[2572]: running module 'libicd_policy_merge.so' new_request policy May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 icd2 0.87+fremantle6.1+0m5[2572]: running module 'libicd_policy_ask.so' new_request policy May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 icd2 0.87+fremantle6.1+0m5[2572]: Requesting 'Select connection' dialog May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 icd2 0.87+fremantle6.1+0m5[2572]: policy iap ask pending returned May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 icd2 0.87+fremantle6.1+0m5[2572]: 'Select connection' dialog responded (2) May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 icd2 0.87+fremantle6.1+0m5[2572]: policy returned ICD_POLICY_WAITING for request 0x3a160 May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 icd2 0.87+fremantle6.1+0m5[2572]: request 0x3a160 is waiting for actions May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 icd2 0.87+fremantle6.1+0m5[2572]: request 0x3a160 with status ICD_REQUEST_WAITING May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 icd2 0.87+fremantle6.1+0m5[2572]: Received com.nokia.icd2.scan_req (u) request May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 icd2 0.87+fremantle6.1+0m5[2572]: scan start for type 'DUMMY' May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 icd2 0.87+fremantle6.1+0m5[2572]: '[SCAN]' type 'DUMMY' ICD_STATUS_CHANGED_SIG with status SCAN_START, '' sent to '(null)' May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 waitdbus[2607]: trying to connect to the system bus May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 waitdbus[2607]: got connection May 19 16:00:41 Nokia-N900-42-11 icd2 0.87+fremantle6.1+0m5[2608]: icd2 version 0.87+fremantle6.1+0m5 starting ----
The problem was solved by removing all IAPs from /var/lib/gconf/system/osso/connectivity/IAP directory and rebooting the device. So looks like some of IAPs %gconf.xml file was corrupted.
(No codefix included, hence resetting resolution)
I also encountered this problem. It may be worthwhile to make this more robust to corrupted files in that directory. (Tracking down this bug as the root cause took quite awhile.)
