RE: ModemManager 1.14.0: Can't send sms with some chars
Hi Thilo, Thanks for pointing out the “>” causes the shell to attempt redirect mmcli’s output into a file. I still see the “…Cannot generate PDUs: Error processing input text” after the “# mmcli –s 6 –send” command. Digi International is assigning a resource next week to look into: “confirm that we are using UTF-8 locale in our setup”.

RE: ModemManager 1.14.0: Can't send sms with some chars
Hi Aleksander, I created a ticket with our IT team and our email communications appear to be working now. I understand the command from the Digi router shell: "modem sms-text 16511234567 world范例" runs the following commands: # # mmcli -m 0 \ # > --messaging-create-sms="text='hello world范例',number='+16511234567'" # # mmcli -s 6 --send My test results, when running the above commands from the shell, shows the "/bin/sh: can't create --messaging-create-sms=text='hello world范例',number='+16511234567': Read-only file system" probably because I do not have the correct permissions when running from the shell. I will ask our Engineering team how to find if this filesystem error is seen when executing "--messaging-create-sms..." after the router shell command: "modem sms-text...". Please will you confirm the "mmcli -s 6 --send" command should not result in the following error when "text" includes Chinese characters? # error: couldn't send the SMS: 'GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Error .Core.InvalidArgs: Cannot prepare SMS to be sent: Cannot generate PDUs: Error pr ocessing input text' Your original response indicates that we should not see the "...Cannot generate PDUs..." error, but I want to be sure as my Team is requesting Engineering to provide OS builds addressing: "proper UTF-8 locale either in the environment or in the filesystem".

Hi Aleksander, Thank you for the prompt response found at the following link: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/modemmanager-devel/2022-June/009281.html Sorry for my delayed response. Your response did not make it to my email inbox. A colleague pointed me to the above link. I will review your response with Digi International Sr Product Manager. The test results in my email are from troubleshooting a potential issue when sending SMS from the Digi Cellular Router shell: Sending SMS via “modem [sms|sms-text] ” results in error when message contains Chinese characters: # modem sms-text 16511234567 world范例 error: couldn't send the SMS: 'GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Error.Core.InvalidArgs: Cannot prepare SMS to be sent: Cannot generate PDUs: Error processing input text' successfully deleted SMS from modem Sending SMS via “modem sms-binary ” will send the SMS message with Chinese characters, but some phones receive the SMS text as empty or : # modem sms-binary 16511234567 world范例 successfully sent the SMS successfully deleted SMS from modem Do you know if the above “modem sms-text” and “modem sms-binary” results are expected, or if our ModemManager implementation may require a fix to support sending SMS message containing Chinese characters? Thank you. -Scott

The mmcli interface receives in the 'text' field of the key-value pair given to --messaging-create-sms, and there is one simple usecase like needing double-quotes and single-quotes that isn't properly covered, as in the link above. For that, the suggestion was to have a new --messaging-create-sms-with-text=FILE that we could use to feed a given file contents as text input. The issue you're experiencing, though, is not the same one. I *believe* the problem could be your locale settings. Can you confirm you're using a UTF-8 locale in your setup? The text you're using in your setup must be UTF-8 so that mmcli reads it correctly and passes it down to DBus in the correct format. /bin/sh: can't create --messaging-create-sms=text='hello world范例',number='+16511234567': > Read-only file system > > I have no idea what that "Read-only" file system error is, that totally looks like a problem in your script. Are you by any chance creating a file in the filesystem with the --messaging-create-sms option contents?? If so, that would also be an indication that you're lacking proper UTF-8 locale either in your environment or in your filesystem. This totally looks like something unrelated to ModemManager, please check your scripts. > # Successfully created new SMS: /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/SMS/6 > > /bin/sh: Successfully: not found > > Another indication that this issue is in your scripts, not in ModemManager or mmcli. > # # mmcli -s 6 --send > > *# error: couldn't send the SMS: > 'GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Error* > > *.Core.InvalidArgs: Cannot prepare SMS to be sent: Cannot generate PDUs: > Error pr* > > *ocessing input text'* > > Thank you for looking at this.
