System Tray Networks Entry Issue

[Snowhog]

Just finished an update/dist-upgrade; my normal daily activity; and something resulted in an issue with the System Tray Networks entry. First, the icon has changed (not really an issue). Second, clicking on the icon, which normally opens the entry, now results in an error:


Anyone else seeing this and know what is causing it and how to fix it?

I have the same thing here. Not sure of a fix.

I had ,,,,,,,,Tuesday the updates broke network management ,,,,no icon in the system tray , no network ,,,,,,,I did not have time or the inclination to try to fix it so booted to 14.04 .

Wednesday I booted 16.04 to the previous kernel 4.4.0-21 and all was good ran updates and it was fixed .

I have not ran today's updates yet ,,,,,,,,,if it brakes once agin I will post back to say it this time .

Not so here.

What kernel version are you booting from? What Desktop Theme are you using? What Icon Theme?

the kernels I have are ,,,,,,

vinny@vinny-Bonobo-Extreme:~$ ls /boot | grep "vm"
vmlinuz-4.4.0-18-generic
vmlinuz-4.4.0-21-generic
vmlinuz-4.4.0-22-generic

4.4.0-22 was the one that network was broken on for me.

my Desktop theme is "Bare Naked" and the Icon theme is "Breeze Dark"

Well Vinny, I tried Bare Naked and Breeze Dark (Icon Theme) and no change to the error when clicking on the Network icon in the System Tray. I'm using the 4.4.0-22 kernel. I'll reboot into the -21 kernel and see if it makes a difference.

Added:

Nope. No difference with the -21 kernel. The Network icon in the System Tray still comes up with the error.

same thing here too.

Well, I connected wired. Installed wicd, removed network-manager and now all is fine. My computer wifi actually seems faster.

An update has just come through on 14.04 with the change detail of

netlink-fix-crash-in-netlink-monitor-validating-netlink-messages.patch:

maybe it's the fix and available for 16.04 also?
