Public bug reported: The gsm-utils daemon in Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) can't be started du to a problem in the order of commands in the init.d script.
This patch will fix it: 23,26d22 < if [ "$RUNGSMSMS" != "yes" ];then < echo "GSM SMS deamon not yet configured. Edit /etc/default/gsm-utils first." < exit 0 < fi 37a34,38 > > if [ "$RUNGSMSMS" != "yes" ];then > echo "GSM SMS deamon not yet configured. Edit /etc/default/gsm-utils > first." > exit 0 > fi The cause of the problem is that "$RUNGSMSMS" != "yes" is checked before the actual /etc/default/gsm-utils file is sourced using test -r /etc/default/gsm-utils && . /etc/default/gsm-utils # for overwriting some parameters This is easy to fix but basically renders the daemon process unusuable.
