Communication error with Android after update 2.3.4

Question

My Droid X2 was just updated with Android version 2.3.4 and system version 1.3.380.MB870. I use the phone for development and noticed that right after the update I started to get a lot of additional logcat activity. One error that is constantly being printed is

10-14 10:47:12.153 1476 1507 E TundConnector: Communications error 10-14 10:47:12.153 1476 1507 E TundConnector: java.io.IOException: No such file or directory 10-14 10:47:12.153 1476 1507 E TundConnector: at android.net.LocalSocketImpl.connectLocal(Native Method) 10-14 10:47:12.153 1476 1507 E TundConnector: at android.net.LocalSocketImpl.connect(LocalSocketImpl.java:238) 10-14 10:47:12.153 1476 1507 E TundConnector: at android.net.LocalSocket.connect(LocalSocket.java:98) 10-14 10:47:12.153 1476 1507 E TundConnector: at com.android.server.NativeDaemonConnector.listenToSocket(NativeDaemonConnector.java:99) 10-14 10:47:12.153 1476 1507 E TundConnector: at com.android.server.NativeDaemonConnector.run(NativeDaemonConnector.java:83) 10-14 10:47:12.153 1476 1507 E TundConnector: at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:1019) 10-14 10:47:12.153 1476 1507 E TundConnector: Error in NativeDaemonConnector 10-14 10:47:12.153 1476 1507 E TundConnector: java.io.IOException: No such file or directory 10-14 10:47:12.153 1476 1507 E TundConnector: at android.net.LocalSocketImpl.connectLocal(Native Method) 10-14 10:47:12.153 1476 1507 E TundConnector: at android.net.LocalSocketImpl.connect(LocalSocketImpl.java:238) 10-14 10:47:12.153 1476 1507 E TundConnector: at android.net.LocalSocket.connect(LocalSocket.java:98) 10-14 10:47:12.153 1476 1507 E TundConnector: at com.android.server.NativeDaemonConnector.listenToSocket(NativeDaemonConnector.java:99) 10-14 10:47:12.153 1476 1507 E TundConnector: at com.android.server.NativeDaemonConnector.run(NativeDaemonConnector.java:83) 10-14 10:47:12.153 1476 1507 E TundConnector: at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:1019) 

Does anyone know what this means? I noticed that my location services do not seem to work in my mapActivity applications either. Any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Well, the name TundConnector should imply that it is part of the package that uses Tund, the SSH tunneling daemon (it basically connects a local socket to the socket with some random Internet services via SSH).

Since it is trying to unsuccessfully connect to the local socket, I would say that the local socket of the tund daemon was either moved (by accident) or deleted in the update you received.

What is the name of the application package that the log displays?
