do you know what kind of edit operation you were performing when it crashed?

this is most likely related or duplicate of bug 436425 ... please dont mark it as dupe just now. want to understand if there are different triggers for this first.

I was connecting to my campus wireless with the following instructions.

http://www.it.utah.edu/services/connected/wireless/config/ubuntu.html

Get this errors also.

Error initializing editor
Method "GetSecrets" with signature "sasb" on interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection" doesn't exist

It crashed when I was setting up my pptp vpn connection. I had just clicked the checkbox "available to all users"

I didn't spill my Friday night beer over my keyboard or anything :-)

appeared for me in karmic setting ipv6 from ignore to automatic

Appeared for me today in Karmic when checking the box that was something like "Make available to all users" in the wireless settings tab.

Edit Connections > Wireless > Edit > (checkbox lower left) > Apply
PolicyKit asked to authenticate. After I did it crashed.

Now I can no longer click the Edit button without getting the same error Mike Basinger reports.

In my case it crashed when changing the wired connectin to use OpenDNS. After clicking "Apply" and entering the admin password.

I added a new wired connection (DHCP) with the option 'Available to all users', after entering my password it crashed

Same happens to me as Jordi Rovira i Bonet said. Then i tried to edit connection again but this time it gave me "Method "GetSecrets" with signature "sasb" on interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection" doesn't exist" error. I deleted the connection and this time it went normal it did not gave me "GetSecrets" related error but clicking the apply button crashed the applet again.

Also when i run nm-connection-editor from console it gave me:
(nm-connection-editor:1993): IBUS-WARNING **: Connect to unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-1asxGDD52y,guid=2bc147be7f7601a7c226b6774abd45f4 failed: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-1asxGDD52y: Connection refused.

Just ignore the previous post. I disabled IBUS but it stills crashing. In my case i want to edit auto discovered wireless connection to change dns settings. I changed IPv4 Settings -> Automatic (DHCP) to Automatic (DHCP) adresses only and entered new dns then hit apply. When i reopened nm-connection-editor all changes lost. Also if checked Available to all users check box and then hit apply it shows me authorization window i entered my password and it crashed. After that moment it shows "Method "GetSecrets" with signature "sasb" on interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection" doesn't exist" error if i want to edit same connection again until i delete the connection.

the GetSecrets bug is bug 436884 ... uploaded a fix for that for beta. please verify whether you can still reproduce this crash after that ends up in the archive. Thanks!

I just got the error after upgrading the network-manager packages and restarting the system.
I clicked on "Available for all users" and "apply". The network disappeared from the list on networks and then it crashed. Network works though.

I updated nm and now the situation is different. When i want to change dns settings same thing happens. All the changes i entered just get lost. I clicked apply to all users check box and application crashed. But after i opened the application at least it did not show me GetSecrets error window. Also i noticed something that it shows wrong tooltip.When cursor is on search domains input box or dns servers input box it always says "IP addresses identify your computer on the network. Click "Add" button to add an ip address".

Here the core dump when it was crashed.

Crashed when changing DNS settings. Nasty bug. \:

Happens for me with a fresh install of Karmic from today (with NM package that has the get secrets patch). In my case, I have a wired ethernet connection that is set to automatic (DHCP), and I'm trying to switch to a static IPv4 config. The "available to all users" box is checked for the connection.

I also tried unchecking the "available to all users" box and editing the IPv4 info, and also deleting the "Auto eth0" connection and recreating it. I didn't get crashes but I haven't been able to get NM to actually use the static IPv4 info ... it always seems to end up using DHCP.

I ended up having to hand-edit /etc/network/interfaces to provide the
static IP address and default route, also either /etc/resolv.conf or
some config file for the resolvconf file (if that's installed) to make
things work. The NetManager GUI is useless for that, and it should not
be. Plus the actual GUI is done poorly, regardless of functionality.
(fields too small, moving from field to field doesn't work right,
etc.)

if you can reproduce this, please check out todays dailies from https://edge.launchpad.net/~network-manager/+archive/trunk ... just add that ppa and upgrade.

Adding the PPA fixes it for me.

Fixed for me allso.

Adding the PPA and updating does not fix this for me. However, now the
network settings, including IP, gateway, additional route, etc. are
retained SOMEwhere, so they show up the next time the Network Settings
dialog is run, but they have no effect: nothing shows up in
/etc/network/interfaces, the route does not change, and the IP does
not change.

Also the network manager applet disappeared from the upper panel.

Another issue is that the 'service' program does not work in Karmic,
so I have to explicitly run "/etc/init.d/networking/restart" instead
of "service networking restart". I'll file that as a separate bug.

My criticism of the user interface, regarding tabbing between fields
and size of fields, remains.

A note: I also have the resolvconf package installed.

I was doing nothing more than checking the settings. I attempted no changes.

I was trying to set a static address for my Eth0 and I wouldn't stick, then these crashes started happening.

I get this bug whenever I save a wireless connection with "Available to all users" checked. I am also unable to change wireless settings from DHCP. If I set to static or DHCP Addresses Only, it reverts to DHCP.

I get the same bug when trying to change from DHCP to static on both my laptop and a desktop running Karmic with most current updates.

This is also fixed for me when using the network-manager builds from the above-mentioned PPA.

After adding the above PPA Network Manager no longer crashes, but still unable to change DHCP address to Static.

Adding the above PPA Network Manager also does not fix my problem of changing from DHCP to Static ip for Eth1. Also nm-applet is not starting on login. This is on a clean install of the RC desktop ISO.
