Re: stopping modem manager

["X.H. Sheng" <xhsheng gmail com>]

Hi Jirka,

Could you send the file of org.freedesktop.ModemManager.service?

I have one as follows in my ubuntu machine:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.ModemManager
Exec=/usr/sbin/modem-manager
User=root


Should I must run modem-manager to start modem in the embedded system rather than pc? I looked into the networkmanager 0.8 open source and noticed modem-manager is part of NetworkManager, then, instead of starting a separate modem-manager daemon,  can I just run NetworkManger and let NetworkManager handles the modem? If I can do so, how can I set the configuration and system-settting?



thanks

Xiaohong

modem-manager is implemented as a D-Bus service and it's autostarted by D-Bus
when a call is made on it. NetworkManager pokes it every 2 minutes and thus
restarts it.

You can disable modem-manager by removing D-Bus service file
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.ModemManager.service
