Hi I had the same problem with Kubuntu 13.10 and the DW-156. A downgrade of the usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data to the version from precise fixed the segfault problem. The quantal and raring packages didn't do the trick (both segfaulted like the saucy packages). See http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/usb-modeswitch and http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/usb-modeswitch-data for the packages.
Regarding the "not working after reboot": I can't confirm this with the precise packages but I had to add usbserial und option to /etc/modules and I need to plug the modem in two times. The first time only the storage part gets loaded. In the second time the usb_modeswitch gets activated and the modem part loads up. I still have a problem with modemmanager using the wrong ttyUSB device (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/modemmanager/+bug/819784 ) but for now I get a connection using wvdial. regards cd311 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1242209 Title: usb_modeswitch_[6077]: segfault at 8 ip 00007f1e2bc8cc41 sp 00007ffff9579048 error 4 in libc-2.17.so[7f1e2bc03000+1bd000] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-modeswitch/+bug/1242209/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
