[SOLVED] Networkmanager/Modemmanager crash

Harey · 2011-01-12 08:24:57

Hi all,

I am in the process of setting up my Acer Laptop. I thought I should use networkmanager to manage my wired/wireless devices. So I followed the wiki and installed networkmanager, modemmanager and kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement on my KDE4 desktop.
Wired and WLAN interface are working, but I can't get my Huawei E220 UMTS/3G Modem for mobile broadband communication to work. It is recognised by the applet, but when I click on 'manage Connections' and try to fill in a new connection on the tab 'Mobile broadband' the dialogue quits with a crash when choosing the Provider. Is there a way to manually define connections ?

BTW, on a previous installation on this laptop wicd was working without any problem. Wvdial for the mobile UMTS device was working too. My intention only was to manage all my connections more elegant in one place

Any clues?

Harvey

Yes, I did. And as I stated in my post this way is working. Only networkmanager applet for kde4 seems to be buggy.

Ha!

There is a missing dependency for kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement: mobile-broadband-provider-info!
If this is not installed the applet crashes even if you choose to set all manually...

Edit: All is well now. I can use my Huawei Stick. Only have to figure out how to access the storage on the stick. Setting this to solved.

Emphatically NOT SOLVED. I DID install mobile-broadband-provider-info, and the network manager applet still crashes at the same point.

Well, at least for me it IS solved. Did you reboot or at least restart modemmanger/networmanager?

Nevermind, was some fit of blindness on my part. SOLVED.
