Re: stopping modem manager STARTING AUTOMATICALLY

[toabctl <toabctl googlemail com>]

Hi have the same problem. i use debian squeeze (on armel) and tried the network-manager and modemmanager versions from debian squeeze. I also tried nm and mm from ubuntu natty (re-cross-compiled on debian squeeze) and still have this problem.

Output from NetworkManager is:

# NetworkManager --no-daemon

NetworkManager[804]: <info> NetworkManager (version 0.8.3) is starting...

NetworkManager[804]: <info> Read config file /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf

NetworkManager[804]: <info> trying to start the modem manager...

NetworkManager[804]: <info> monitoring kernel firmware directory '/lib/firmware'.

NetworkManager[804]:    SCPlugin-Ifupdown: init!

...

...

I had the same output with the debian versions. There is no problem when i start modem-manager manually:

# modem-manager --debug

** Message: ModemManager (version 0.4) starting...

** Message: Loaded plugin Option

** Message: Loaded plugin Ericsson MBM

** Message: Loaded plugin Sierra

** Message: Loaded plugin AnyData

** Message: Loaded plugin Longcheer

** Message: Loaded plugin Novatel

** Message: Loaded plugin SimTech

...

...

i have the file /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.ModemManager.service installed and content is:

[D-BUS Service]

Name=org.freedesktop.ModemManager

Exec=/usr/sbin/modem-manager

User=root

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Tom

What distro and NM and MM versions? Could you grab syslogs from
/var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon.log (or similar)?

Normally, there should be something like this there:
...
 NetworkManager[1312]: <info> trying to start the modem manager...
Jan 23 23:01:40 gromit modem-manager: ModemManager (version
0.4-4.git20100720.fc14) starting...
...
