Hello all, I can confirm that this modem causes a system freeze in Lucid. As an experiment, I backported modem-manager from Maverick into Lucid, with no other changes (it was a rather trivial backport). After doing so, I am able to insert the modem without any issues. -- USB device insertion

This is bizarre. I did a fresh install of Lucid 10.04.1 onto a netbook, then plugged in my Option modem (0af0:d033). I confirm that it caused my system to lock up. I just spent the past 4 hours trying to bisect this issue, and I can't get it to fail reliably. In my bisection adventure, I found

OK, I finally got a chance to try 10.04 and I confirm the lockup still exists.However, the error you report is easily resolved, you missed one rather poorly documented step. Use The Synaptic Package Manager to verify you do not have the default hsolink package loaded. Also remember sudo

I have not tried 10.04 yet, but probably will in the next week or so. If I had to guess right now I suspect what you are experiencing is an artifact of the somewhat publicized Ubuntu elimination of HAL in 10.04. In 10.04 Ubuntu totally eliminated the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). The

Well, I tried Pat's solution again, and succeeded. The only wrinkle is that once connected, Firefox and Evolution will not connect to the internet unless started with sudo. So I used Authorizations to give myself implicit authorization. Do you know where the problem is? Curt -- USB device

Pat, I remember having a ton of DNS issues for a while (they're all cleared up, but for the life of me I wouldn't be able to tell you how), and all the resolv.conf stuff sounds all too familiar. I use static DNS (OpenDNS is a good DNS server, Google has a DNS server too) and I haven't had any

Curt, I wish I had a solution for you. Pat's workaround was successful for me. In fact, I'm using the Quicksilver connection right now to send this. Ideally, it would seem to me that the GNOME folks would see what's different between GNOME's tools (network-manager and modem-manager) and wicd,

Thank you for posting the workaround. I've added the workaround to a question I had regarding the exact same issue (#91686) and have marked it solved, even though technically it isn't solved since the answer is a rather involved workaround. There must not be enough Quicksilver/Ubuntu users for

I have pretty much come to the conclusion this is a udev problem.The only way the hso driver could have been called into play to replace SCSI emulation for USB on the ZeroCD is via a udev action, and this udev action is clearly where the breakage is located. Done properly the ZeroCD in the
