Modemmanager error

Is there a way to silence the message below that appears on my logs?

I don't have a modem of any kind installed on my machine but modemmanager is a dependency for NM.

Thanks in advance.

This is probably not really a solution but these guys have the same problem: http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?pid=23323
... they seem to hope that in the future, networkmanager will not pull modemmanager as a dependency any more.

And these guys seem to have a similar problem (though not on an arch-like system): http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.a … phus/96646
... the threat is in russian but (if you don't speak russian) google translate will give you an idea what they say.
... they seem to suggest that there are two .service files dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.service and dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager.service and you should enable or disable both of them.

good luck

Might be something worth trying if you do not need modemmanager.

The PKGBUILD has the line "--with-modem-manager-1" which configure seems to indicate that modem manager is enabled... yeah.

Remove that line and the dependency to modemmanager, and then rebuild and install.

Done!

Does systemd know where it is?

# This D-Bus service activation file is only for systemd support since
# an auto-activated ModemManager would be quite surprising for those people
# who have MM installed but turned off.  Thus the Exec path available to
# D-Bus is /bin/false, but systemd knows the real Exec path due to the MM
# systemd .service file.

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.ModemManager1
Exec=/bin/false
User=root
SystemdService=dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.service

Found the solution here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34971

# systemctl start ModemManager.service && systemctl enable ModemManager.service

If you just want to disable it, you can do this:
