Which NetworkManager, ModemManager and Plasma NM do you use? Go to "Manage Connections" -> Other and look for the version string there. Sim unlock works for me here. The dialog appears again if the unlock process fails. You did not mentioned the policykit password dialog appearing, it is necessary to unlock the simcard. I am working in Fedora 15 with kde 4.7.1 from kde-redhat repo. Also: -NetworkManager-0.9.0-1.fc15.x86_64 -ModemManager-0.4.998-1.git20110706.fc15.x86_64 -kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9-0.59.20110919git.nm09.fc15.x86_64 No policykit password dialog appear; how can I get it?

NM should trigger the policykit password dialog when it needs the password. Plasma NM does not need to do anything. If it is not asking then there is something wrong somewhere in NM <-> MM communication, unless ModemManager-0.5 has changed the way it handles permissions.

I tried with another computer using: NetworkManager-0.9.0-1.fc15.i686 ModemManager-0.4.998-1.git20110706.fc15.i686 kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9-0.54.20110812git.nm09.fc15.i686 A box asking a password appear and it unblocked the sim card. I will tray again with my laptop. Hmmm in August 20 I commited a patch to allow marking GSM Pins as not required. Can you check if in your connection configuration your PIN is marked as "Not required"? Just go to Manage Connections -> Mobile Broadband -> "select your connection" -> Edit. There should be a combobox beside the PIN text edit. In your case the correct configuration is "Always ask". Storing the PIN is allowed but risky since NM will use that same PIN with any SIM card that is in your modem, which may not be the correct one. Created attachment 64287 [details]
Crash after trying to unblock sim card.
Sorry, this message should have come before the attachment. I tried again without success. The dialog box appears and appears again. This is I copy the logged messages: Oct 6 16:03:24 satelite NetworkManager[888]: <warn> (ttyUSB0): failed to look up interface index Oct 6 16:03:24 satelite NetworkManager[888]: <info> (ttyUSB0): new GSM/UMTS device (driver: 'option1' ifindex: -1) Oct 6 16:03:24 satelite NetworkManager[888]: <info> (ttyUSB0): exported as /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/2 Oct 6 16:03:24 satelite NetworkManager[888]: <info> (ttyUSB0): now managed Oct 6 16:03:24 satelite NetworkManager[888]: <info> (ttyUSB0): device state change: unmanaged -> unavailable (reason 'managed') [10 20 2] Oct 6 16:03:24 satelite NetworkManager[888]: <info> (ttyUSB0): deactivating device (reason 'managed') [2] Oct 6 16:03:24 satelite NetworkManager[888]: nm_system_iface_flush_routes: assertion `ifindex > 0' failed Oct 6 16:03:24 satelite NetworkManager[888]: nm_system_iface_flush_addresses: assertion `ifindex > 0' failed Oct 6 16:03:24 satelite NetworkManager[888]: <info> (ttyUSB0): device state change: unavailable -> disconnected (reason 'none') [20 30 0] Oct 6 16:04:12 satelite abrt[6437]: invalid number '/var/spool/abrt' Please, is the PIN marked as "Not required" or not? This crash happens if your Plasma NM was compiled against kde-workspace < 4.7.0 and now is running with kde-workspace >= 4.7.0.

Rex, we need a rebuilt kde-plasma-networkmanagement in the kde47 repo.

I did rpmbuild from the src.rpm and now it works. Thanks for all!! |
