[Bug 1410253] Re: nm-applet crashes upon activating mobile broadband device

 

Same here, this seems to be a regression bug - didnt happen to me on 14.10
When i start NM-Applet from the terminal i get the following message at the time of the crash

nm-applet:ERROR:applet-device-broadband.c:636:get_icon: assertion failed: (info)
Aborted

before that i only saw
** (nm-connection-editor:5944): WARNING **: Unsupported connection type 'generic'
** (nm-connection-editor:5944): WARNING **: Unsupported connection type 'generic'
** (nm-connection-editor:5944): WARNING **: Unsupported connection type 'generic'
(nm-applet:5932): nm-applet-WARNING **: Could not find ShellVersion property on org.gnome.Shell after 5 tries
**

Furthermore the applet is still running - even the connection works
