Hello Sebastien, or anyone else affected,

Accepted network-manager-applet into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/1.8.10-2ubuntu3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Hi all,

I have verified the other two patches associated with 1.8.10-2ubuntu3. This is the third and final fix of 1.8.10-2ubuntu3 which is blocking the update being published on bionic-updates.

Has the error reports reduced with the 1.8.10-2ubuntu3 as expected? I can't access the link as "not a member of a group that is allowed to see the data from error reports". I have just requested access.

It's unfortunate there is no specific reproduction instructions for this bug that can be manually verified. Hopefully someone with access to the errors.ubuntu.com link above can confirm the fix has lowered the number of error reports (as suggested by the reporter of this bug), and then tag this issue and then change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for network-manager-applet has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
