I considered what you said and put the sim card into a phone even though it was allegedly unlocked and set it as you suggested and indeed it does NOT ask for a pin now. I would consider the main issue resolved now, thanks! I've been fighting this for 2 years unsuccessfully so this is a major win for me.
The superuser access issue is a separate one but does not affect me now since the pin is unlocked. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to plasma-nm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1584612 Title: Mobile broadband requires reboot every time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-nm/+bug/1584612/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
