Re: Re: Re: [Sugar-devel] [TRANSIENT ISSUE] 3G-Modem not being recognised
Hi all. * I tested on XO-1.75 with os14; the frame appeared fine (booting-up with the USB-flash drive, and USB-modem inserted) !!! * Pulling off my hair, I re-tested on XO-1.75 with os11 (booting-up with the USB-flash drive, and USB-modem inserted) ; thankfully, the frame-icon did not appear (as before). * I then tested on XO-1.75 with the os12 (booting up with the USB-flash drive, and USB-modem inserted); the frame-icon appeared FINE here too. I compared the packages-difference between os11 and os12; os12 has an updated version of usb_modeswitch and usb_modeswitch_data. Also, in os12, there is no more the error usb_modeswitch_dispatcher: *** glibc detected *** usb_modeswitch_dispatcher: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x00081fe0 *** that was happening in os11 (in the culprit case, that is). So, bad news : Things are happening without us knowing the root-cause :-\ good news : Seems like http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/12340 can be closed :D Thanks everyone for the help (especially James).

Thanks, James/Tony. But that works, too, fine. The mobile icon plus the frame presence is ok. Another thing, though, that I have noticed is, With the 3G USB stick in, after Disconnec-ting and Remove-ing (with PM off) when I select Shut Down, it does not shut down normally. I have to Power off the system.

That's not what Ajay said here: http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2012-November/036409.html Ajay, can you confirm in the above posting that all power management was disabled? I agree that the frame icon for the modem may not be present if power managament was enabled, but I see that as a separate problem now.

As Jerry mentioned, the trick is to uncheck Power Management option under the Power options of the laptop. Otherwise, the scenarios outlined by Ajay can be reproduced.

Interesting, thanks. Updated SL #4255. I've never seen data counters in 13.1.0 builds. > I did not try without the memory stick. I think your tests show that Ajay's problem is likely to be unique to the pen-drive in use.

Re: Re: [Sugar-devel] [TRANSIENT ISSUE] 3G-Modem not being recognised
I repeated these tests XO-1.75 and XO-4 OS14 Huawei E160E modem Imation 8GB memory stick I was unable to replicate the fault described by Ajay, the modem appeared in the frame, both plugged in after boot and before boot but for both laptops In the first test, memory stick and modem plugged in after boot, the frame never got past displaying connecting, even though I could browse the net ok In the second test, memory stick and modem plugged in before boot, I got to the connected display in the frame but the upload and download kB counters never updated past 0 even though I was browsing, the connected time did update ok. I did not try without the memory stick.

Re: Re: [Sugar-devel] [TRANSIENT ISSUE] 3G-Modem not being recognised
Ajay You do not say which OS you are using or whether its Sugar or Gnome desktop. For most of 13.1.0 the modem dongle has not been appearing in the Sugar frame. It was fixed at OS11 I think but I have not tested it a lot to see if its always there in the frame.
