Hello Jerry, or anyone else affected, Accepted libmbim into hirsute-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmbim/1.24.8-1~21.04 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-hirsute. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: libqmi (Ubuntu Hirsute) Status: New => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libmbim in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1934286 Title: Update the ModemManager to 1.16.6-2 to support some modems in Focal and Hirsute releases. Status in OEM Priority Project: Confirmed Status in libmbim package in Ubuntu: New Status in libqmi package in Ubuntu: New Status in modemmanager package in Ubuntu: New Status in libmbim source package in Hirsute: Fix Committed Status in libqmi source package in Hirsute: Fix Committed Status in modemmanager source package in Hirsute: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] Some IOT products use wireless modems which can be working only when recent versions of the ModemManager suite are used. The following 2 modems need the ModemManager suite to be upgraded: * Foxconn SDX55 T99W175 5G sub6 PCIE Modem * Quectel SDX24 EM160R-GL 4G LTE CAT16 PCIE Modem The main fix requested is to add the FCC unlock mechanism for Foxconn modems. * FCC unlock operation for Foxconn modems https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/merge_requests/534/commits * dms: new 'Foxconn Set FCC authentication' command https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/libqmi/-/merge_requests/254/commits The minimum versions of the ModemManager suite required to enable the support for the above 2 mentioned modems have been verified: (LP: #1928665) * ModemManager: 1.16.6 * libmbim: 1.24.8 * libqmi : 1.28.6 The ModemManager suite in the Impish release meets the requirements. [Test Plan] = How to Reproduce the Bug = Execute the following commands to list the modems detected by ModemManager in Hirsute and Focal releases: $ mmcli --list-modems No modems were found = Test Procedure = 1. Install the Ubuntu system on the tested hardware The following images will be used to verify the version of the ModemManager suite: * Impish: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/impish-desktop-amd64.iso * Hirsute: https://releases.ubuntu.com/21.04/ubuntu-21.04-desktop-amd64.iso * Focal: https://releases.ubuntu.com/focal/ubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso 2. Upgrade the kernel and driver ( for Foxconn and Quectel modem ) The kernel needs to get some patches from 5.13 and includes a back ported Quectel driver to support these 2 modems. We have prepared a kernel packages for testing: https://people.canonical.com/~mschiu77/lp1928665/v2/ 3. Install the ModemManager suite ( for Hirsute and Focal releases ) The ModemManager suite will be installed from the -proposed component: $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install modemmanager $ sudo apt install libqmi-utils 4. Execute the following commands 4.1 Get the run-time environment $ uname -ar $ lsb_release -a $ mmcli -V $ qmicli -V 4.2 Check the status of the ModemManager service $ sudo systemctl status ModemManager.service 4.3 List the detected modems $ mmcli --list-modems 4.4 Check the modem’s status $ mmcli --modem 0 4.5 Install and execute Lenovo’s FCC unlock app ( for Quectel modem only ) $ sudo snap install --devmode --dangerous dpr-wwan_1.0-wwan- test_amd64.snap 4.6 Enable the detected modem $ sudo mmcli --modem 0 --enable 4.7 Check the modem’s status $ mmcli --modem 0 = Analyze the Tested Result = 1. Check if installed packages are working The result of test procedure 4.1 and 4.2 can be used to make sure the installed packages are working. If the Modemmanager.service is active(running), the packages are working. 2. Check if the supported modem can be detected The result of test procedure 4.3 can be used to see if the modem can be detected by ModemManager or not. The supported modems should be listed. 3. Check if the modem can be enabled If the modem can be enabled, the state of the modem in the test procedure 4.7 will be set to be registered. = Certification Validation = Additionally to the aforementioned test cases, the Certification Team will perform some coverage testing across supported devices to make sure the other modems still work as expected. [Where problems could occur] There is a risk that modems supported in the old versions of ModemManager suite may not be supported in the newer versions. [Other Info] We need to upgrade to these 3 packages (in Impish) at the same time: * ModemManager: 1.16.6 * libmbim: 1.24.8 * libqmi : 1.28.6 To support the mentioned 2 modems, the system needs to use kernels which include specific patches and kernel config options . For ex., there is a patched 5.11 kernel which is working for: https://bugs.launchpad.net/austin/+bug/1928665/comments/7 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1934286/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
