[Bug 1102507] Re: dbus crashes when networking service is restarted

[frizzle21]

** Description changed:

  on ubuntu 13.04 32 bit , dbus crashes when i do "sudo service networking restart".
  unfortunately, this stops unity as well.
- the computer keyboard became unresponsive and i had to create a folder on the desktop with the mouse context menu to find compiz in /usr/share/applications and start it with a doubleclick.
+ the computer keyboard became unresponsive and i had to create a folder on the desktop via the mouse context menu, open nautilus through that folder, find compiz in /usr/share/applications and restart unity by doubleclicking compiz.
  
- this brought back the window decoration and the keyboard, but the overall experience was still extremely slow.
- and the internet didn't come back on, even after i started networking again manually, and made sure that network-manager is also running.
+ ( i think Unity should be in there, not "compiz" )
  
- when i tried to start the also crashed nm-applet, it told me that it
- can't reach it's dbus destinations, so i decided to do an "sudo service
- dbus status", which showed me that dbus had also crashed.
+ this brought back the window decoration and the keyboard, but the
+ overall experience was still extremely slow. And the internet didn't
+ come back on, even after i started networking again manually, and made
+ sure that network-manager is also running, obviously because nm-applet
+ had crashed along with dbus.
  
- How come dbus depends so heavily on networking, that it will crash, kill
- the network connection management and the internet connection entirely,
- kill compiz and herewith unity also, just because i restart the
- "networking" system service in the background?
+ Starting nm-applet failed with the error message telling me that dbus is unreachable.
+ After a "sudo service dbus status" showed me that dbus had also crashed, i found my way back to a working system quite soon.
+ 
+ So how to reproduce this bug:
+ 1. /etc/init.d/networking stop
+ 
+ Problems you will encounter immediately:
+ compiz crashed
+ dbus crashed
+ unity gone (window management, window decoration, keyboard navigation/typing/capture/focus)
+ nm-applet crashed unrecoverable
