Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
It is magical how a single service can make a mobile broadband works out of the box.Thanks for all contributors, I learned so much by just this thread alone. And congrats treehugger!
Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
It is now working. thanks for the help. :) :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
After enabling ModemManager, unplug usb modem and plug it again. Now should Network Manager notify you their is Mobile Broadband device available. so what happened after that?
Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
Ok it enabled after entering password. Don't know if it started. user@user-ThinkPad-X60:~$ systemctl enable ModemManager Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.service to /lib/systemd/system/ModemManager.service. Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ModemManager.service to /lib/systemd/system/ModemManager.service. user@user-ThinkPad-X60:~$ systemctl start ModemManager user@user-ThinkPad-X60:~$
Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
It's all gone pear shaped.
Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
You're not supposed to type '#'. Leave this out. It only means the command must be run as root.
Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
Oh it just appeared correctly for the first time !
Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
systemctl is how it appears when typed, even when it's copied and pasted from you it appears as systemctl on my machine. Thinkpad X60.
Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
Check your spelling. You typed systemctl incorrectly.
Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
I seem to have made a mess of it. Nothing happened after entering password.
Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
Is there a GUI for ModemManager ? No In order for NetworkManager to recognize your mobile broadband you need ModemManager to be enabled and started automatically each time the system start up. We use "systemctl" to enable, disable, start and restart system services. the command i posted up must be executed as root(when we use #, it means that command can be only run-ed by root ) or be run-ed by using sudo. Open the terminal and type: $ sudo systemctl enable ModemManager $ sudo systemctl start ModemManager if you use sudo, type your own password. $ sudo -i // use it to become root user

Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
Hi, I assumed the two lines of code are terminal commands so have entered them and on starting receive this message;
Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
On Trisquel 8 ModemaManager service is not enabled by default, to enable it: # systemctl enable ModemManager # systemctl start ModemManager
Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
Have downloaded sandboxie as it's now free and will attempt to run mob broadband from inside. If not, at least the browser can be isolated.
Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
Yes it's a Huawei E169G USB modem.
Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
Is it a Huawei? Which model?
Re: [Trisquel-users] mobile broadband setup
With the Windows user screen it shows; 3G3/HSDPA (depending on location) 3 usb modem - (default) (no user name or password) Authentication - *99# 3internet (static) -APN IP settings - dynamic On Trisquel; Network connections/Mobile broadband it puts the number and APN in when the dongle is connected and lights on the dongle change from yellow to green.(auto connect) PPP settings are given as CHAP on windows screen so I've picked CHAP and turned the others off. ( tried with them all on and off). Also tried compression setting on/off. Even tried with firewall off but still can't get a connection. I'm done, stick a fork in me.

I have an old 3 mobile broadband dongle (PAYG) that still works on win 7. Recently tried it with Trisquel but can't make it connect. With windows it auto configures and signs on to the network. No passwords or sign in names are used. Trisquel allows editing of network connections so have changed a few settings but no connection occurs. Has anyone used a 3 dongle with Trisquel ?
