dnsproxy: invalid answer where there are no DNS servers available
by Nuno Gonçalves
Hi,
Typing "ping abcd", where abcd does not exist on /etc/hosts or in the
search domains, will usually hang for a while with Connman.
I've compared with other systems and my conclusion is that libnss_dns
is retrying the DNS request to connman, since connman answer does not
include the query field.
This behaviour comes from [1], where both a invalid Query and no
upstream servers are handled in the same way.
I believe the query field must be part of the answer when the Query
message was valid, but just happens to not be possible to resolve.
Thanks,
Nuno

[PATCH v2 0/1] Start online check on IP address update
by Robert Tiemann
Differences between v1 and v2:
- Start of online check has been removed from
__connman_service_ipconfig_indicate_state() in v2, the only call of
start_online_check() is in address_updated(). The reasoning behind
this is that it only makes sense to check the online state if there is
an IP address assigned, so address_updated() seems to be the
appropriate place. Moreover, start_online_check() was frequently
called twice in v1 because of a state change followed by an IP address
update.
- There is a call of cancel_online_check() inside start_online_check()
to avoid multiple simultaneous starts of online check which could have
caused resource leaks.
- Function check_proxy_setup() returns true if the caller should call
__connman_service_wispr_start(). This was done to make sure that
__connman_service_wispr_start() is always called after
cancel_online_check() inside start_online_check().
- Function start_online_check() uses early return for better
readability.

Failed to create storage directory: No such file or directory
by JH
Hi,
I built the connman from git source upstream, but I could not run it:
$ CONNMAN_WEB_DEBUG=1 src/connmand -d -n -c /etc/connman/main.conf
Failed to create storage directory: No such file or directory
Connection ":1.163" is not allowed to own the service "net.connman"
due to security policies in the configuration file
Where is the storage directory? Do I have to run it in root?
Actually, I've just ran it in root, still could not find storage and crashed:
Failed to create storage directory: No such file or directory

Thank you.

connmanctl scan wifi: Error /net/connman/technology/wifi: Not implemented
by tormen＠mail.ch
Hi,
I have a problem to make wifi work within connman.
I tried to google, tried, googled, tried, but can't get around
it :/ ... so I really hope someone can give me a hint.
'connmanctl scan wifi' always gives me a
Error /net/connman/technology/wifi: Not implemented
I am currently using iwd, it's running. iwd can access wifi
and scan all good [1].
Just connman seems to have a problem connecting to it.
[1] for instance all of this works fine:
'sudo iw wlan0'
'iwctl device list'
'iwctl station wlan0 scan'
'iwctl station wlan0 get-networks'
I had first tried wpa_supplicant... and am now using iwd
(supposedly iwd is a bit more stable / better ?!)
Both showed the same symtptoms and problems.
I then stopped iwd and connman (via systemctl).
Then I started logging journalctl right before
starting iwd via systemctl.
--> see journalctl.log
http://sprunge.us/hJog0I
Started connmand via CONNMAN_SUPPLICANT_DEBUG=1 connmand -n -d
--> see conmand.log
http://sprunge.us/8iz5eV
And issued some connmanctl commands
--> see cli.txt
http://sprunge.us/eYpuKG
The only thing I noticed was that
'connmanctl enable agent'
consistantly gave me a
Error agent: Method "SetProperty" with signature "sv" on
interface "net.connman.Technology" doesn't exist
(but the command returns with exit code 0 ?!))
But not sure what to do with this.
Thaaaaaaanks a lot for any help with this to unstuck me,
Tormen
PS:
My goal is actually to use cmst later.
For now within cmst the "Rescan" button is grayed out.
(most likely because the connection to the wifi agent is broken)

[PATCH 0/1] Start online check on IP address update
by Robert Tiemann
Hi,
I've discovered that ConnMan does not enter online state when going
from IPV4LL to DHCP-assigned address. ConnMan remains in ready state
because the online check is not triggered again in this case.
Here is a scenario for reproducing the problem:
- A device running ConnMan is attached to an Ethernet switch.
- The Ethernet switch is powered on, but is connected only to the
device, not to any network.
- The wired service is set up for DHCP.
- ConnMan tries to configure the Ethernet connection via DHCP, fails
because there is no DHCP server on the network, and resorts to
IPV4LL.
- ConnMan starts sending periodic DHCP requests to get a proper IP
address.
- After connecting the switch to a network which has a DHCP server,
ConnMan's DHCP requests are answered. IP configuration succeeds, but
ConnMan remains in ready state.
I have checked the debug output. After the configuration via IPV4LL
has succeeded, __connman_service_wispr_start() is called, and
wispr_portal_detect() fails with the message "Could not get
nameservers". Then, ConnMan ends up in ready state. Fair enough.
When the DHCP requests are answered, the Ethernet interface is
configured correctly, but __connman_service_wispr_start() is not
called again. Thus, ConnMan remains in its previously assumed ready
state.
To fix this, I have prepared a patch against master which triggers the
online check when the IP address is updated. It works, but I am not
sure if this is a good solution or if the patch is just fighting a
symptom caused by a problem which should be fixed somewhere else.
Cheers,
Robert

crash of connmand
by tormen＠mail.ch
Hi again,
well in my short time with connmand I got it already to crash for me.
Must be my good influence that tends to bring out the best of
software ;)
Please find the output of connmand -n -d here:
http://sprunge.us/zyKJkl
And a journalctl of a 2nd crash here:
http://sprunge.us/766omR
I don't remember the exact circumstances, so for now that's all I got.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist.

Right, so best thing to do is to enable the full log and see what is
happening, e.g. the states of the services.

Any C / C++ test program available?
by JH
Hi,
The Git source has a test directory but they are all Python test
programs, are there any C / C++ test programs available for:
(1) Set up WiFi connection based on input of SSID and password.
(2) Get current connected network interface at configuration of
SingleConnectedTechnology = true
(3) Monitor network signal strength for WiFi and cellular.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
