** Description changed: Hi, I use Ubuntu 15.10, I have done a fresh install formerly using 14.04 on the same hardware setup. If I boot Ubuntu from power-off, then I must sometimes enter the PIN- code for the mobile broadband SIM-card, I also get prompted for my password (to make changes to the mobile broadband device); however, most of the time only my password is needed, and the saved PIN-code is used. - After entering my password the 4G-USB-modem gets green light for establishing an 4G (or 3G) connection, but it is impossible to connect to the 4G-internet from the desktop drop down menu of network manager at this stage; I get an error message. - (I have set up this 4G-internet-connention with help from the network-manager wizard, using defaults, except turning off roaming and setting "allow all users to connect.") + After entering my password the 4G-USB-modem gets green light for + establishing an 4G (or 3G) connection, but it is impossible to connect + to the 4G-internet from the desktop drop down menu of network manager at + this stage; I get an error message: "(Translated from Swedish-Activate + connection failure) Creating object for path + '/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/1' failed in libnm- + glib." + + (I have set up this 4G-internet-connention with help from the network- + manager wizard, using defaults, except turning off roaming and setting + "allow all users to connect.") However, if I choose to reboot without power-off, the green light on the USB-modem stays on during the reboot (keeps 4G-connected I presume), then it is possible to connect to internet from the drop down menu, most of the time. Some times I also had to deactivate-activate mobile broadband from the drop down menu before internet connection could be established. - It is also not possible to edit the connections of the mobile broadband - in the network manager applet (gets an error message). Editing the wifi- - connection works just fine. + It is also not possible to edit the connections of the mobile broadband in the network manager applet; I get an error message: "(Translated from Swedish-Error initiating editor) settings/nm-settings-connection.c.955 - Connection didn't have requested setting 'ppp'". + Editing the wifi-connection works just fine.
