So I re-tested your incorrect APN scenario and another that was as close as I could get to your original scenario. Note, I didn't check the mobile data settings in any of these tests.
Here's what I did on mako, running rtm image #26 plus a modified version of the latest ofono from the rtm. I stopped ofono & NM, then edited ofono's gprs settings file for the current SIM ( more on that later ) and appended ".foo" to each of the context "AccessPointName" values. I also deleted /var/lib/NetworkManager/timestamps and then rebooted. NM tries context1 ( "ATT PHONE" ) four times ( each failing ), then context2 ( "ATT WAP" ) which also fails. NM marks each connection as "Invalid". Note, I also discovered that NM tries to activate other contexts found in previous SIM card directories under /var/lib/ofono. I will open another bug for this problem. Next, I stopped ofono and NM again, edit the gprs file, and correct the AccessPointName values and reboot. After rebooting, NM seems to properly find the correct context and activates it. I also tried to simulate your first scenario, but checking an environment variable ( "OFONO_RIL_DATA_FAIL" ) in rilmodem/gprs- context.c in the callback that handles the data reply. If the env var is set, I treat it like a FAILED reply from ril. Again I rebooted and watched NM fail to connect either context and mark both Invalid. After removing the env var from the upstart job, I rebooted and again NM comes up and properly activates the correct context. I will try to reproduce on krillin next. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1349273 Title: NM does not retry opening mobile data on reboot Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: In case NM has failed to open any mobile data context, it will not re- try when rebooting the phone. This happened with a pre-paid SIM with no credit: opening a data context for it obviously failed. After adding credit to the SIM, I followed the instructions from the operator to reboot the phone to get data. However, after rebooting I had no mobile data. Taking a look to system settings, cellular data was set to "Off" and I was able to revert the situation marking the "2G/3G/4G" option. Make NM retry the list of contexts in case no context was ever active on previous boot would make life easier for the user.
