Hi Dan,
I ran into issue when NetworkManager keeps crashing/respawning. I have
no idea what happened. My laptop was rebooted (might been my sons work)
and this was the situation I stumbled upon. Running 4.1 kernel on Linux
Mint. NetworkManager version is 0.9.8.8.
Regards,
Arend

Ran NetworkManager manually on the machine. On every run the following
shows up in dmesg
[19456.972855] traps: NetworkManager[5497] general protection ip:469f8e
sp:7ffeab94c1f0 error:0 in NetworkManager[400000+10c000]
and in the terminal:
(NetworkManager:5508): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a
previous GError or uninitialized memory.
This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL
before it's set.
The overwriting error message was: Key file does not have group
'connectivity'
Not sure which key file it is talking about so no idea where to look.

Yeah, that'll do it... glad to see it got figured out.

Yikes. My mistake. I have two libnl-3 versions installed and
NetworkManager loaded the wrong one. Doing walk of shame here.

Odd, can you get any more log messages out of the machine? Or perhaps a
backtrace? Looks like it's happening quite early in boot, before
anything would really get configured...

Is this about the keyfile plugin that is mentioned in my
NetworkManager.conf:
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile,ofono
dns=dnsmasq
[ifupdown]
managed=false
