Re: stopping modem manager STARTING AUTOMATICALLY

2011-01-24 Thread toabctl
Hi have the same problem. i use debian squeeze (on armel) and tried the
network-manager and modemmanager versions from debian squeeze. I also tried
nm and mm from ubuntu natty (re-cross-compiled on debian squeeze) and still
have this problem.

Output from NetworkManager is:

# NetworkManager --no-daemon
NetworkManager[804]:  NetworkManager (version 0.8.3) is starting...
NetworkManager[804]:  Read config file
/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
NetworkManager[804]:  trying to start the modem manager...
NetworkManager[804]:  monitoring kernel firmware directory
'/lib/firmware'.
NetworkManager[804]:SCPlugin-Ifupdown: init!
...
...


I had the same output with the debian versions. There is no problem when i
start modem-manager manually:

# modem-manager --debug
** Message: ModemManager (version 0.4) starting...
** Message: Loaded plugin Option
** Message: Loaded plugin Ericsson MBM
** Message: Loaded plugin Sierra
** Message: Loaded plugin AnyData
** Message: Loaded plugin Longcheer
** Message: Loaded plugin Novatel
** Message: Loaded plugin SimTech
...
...

i have the
file /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.ModemManager.service
installed and content is:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.ModemManager
Exec=/usr/sbin/modem-manager
User=root



Any ideas?


Cheers,

Tom

What distro and NM and MM versions? Could you grab syslogs from 
/var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon.log (or similar)?

Normally, there should be something like this there:

Hello!

I have exactly the opposite problem: the Network Manager doesn't start the Modem
Manager. 

I have the pertinent files: "org.freedesktop.ModemManager.service" under
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-service and "org.freedesktop.ModemManager.conf" under
/etc/dbus-1/system.d.
And also an apropriate configuration for the connection under
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connection (it works when I start it manually).

Why does my NM not start my MM?

Thank you,

Ana

Yes, NM will poke MM via D-Bus service activation when NM starts.  D-Bus
service activation is a great facility but it has historically been a
bit difficult for people to setup if they are building everything
themselves.

Basically, dbus-daemon listens for requests from clients (like NM) and
if the client requests a service that is not yet running, dbus-daemon
looks in /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/ for a special file that
contains launch parameters.  If one exists for that service, dbus-daemon
will then queue the client's request, start that service, and deliver
the client's request when the service is alive.

Not entirely; what you're seeing is the NM glue code to take
user-provided configuration and tell ModemManager to start the 3G
connection using that configuration, and device management to fit modems
into the NM device model that any NM-aware client already uses.

It's a separate project available on Freedesktop like NetworkManager:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ModemManager/ModemManager/

If you mean telling NetworkManager to bring up a predefined 3G
connection then you can use nmcli (available in NM 0.8.1 and later) to
do so, or for ealier NM versions you might be able to use
cnetworkmanager.

You can also use ModemManager without NetworkManager too, there are
various examples of getting the list of recognized modems, scanning for
providers, and connecting the modem in the test/ directory in
ModemManager git.

Maybe, but I'd like to solve this the right way instead of adding more
and more config options; there are already a bunch.  However, I'd
entertain a patch which did this as long as it also correctly returned
an error back to the caller when ModemManager isn't running and a mobile
broadband connection was requested.

For debugging, that's something that needs to be fixed in ModemManager
itself, and debugging options should be tunable via SIGHUP or a D-Bus
method.  MM gets autospawned so callers don't have an opportunity to
specify --debug on the command line unless it's run manually by the
user.

And what about creating a "[modem-manager]" section on NetworkManager.conf?
This way we could have a "disabled=true" directive to avoid loading MM, and
a "debug=" to easy debugging it.

At this time, you either remove the modem-manager package, or you remove
the dbus auto-activation file referenced earlier in this thread.

I have various ideas how to only run ModemManager on-demand, which
basically revolve around using udev to spawn ModemManager if it's not
already running when a new serial port appears, and have MM quit if it's
not managing any modems.  NM would then stop poking MM automatically,
and just rely on its presence.

The one thing that doesn't solve is if MM crashes, it wouldn't
necessarily get restarted automatically, which is quite useful to
recover from bugs for users that don't know how to manually restart it.

Re: stopping modem manager

Hi Jikra,

I am new to networkmanager open source and need your help.

For networkmanager 0.80, do you mean networkmanager will also bring up
modem-manager? But I didn't see it. Is it because networkmanager doesn't
detect the modem in udev?

Also, I have questions of relationship between networkmanager and
modem-manager. I read the code of networkmanager 0.8.0, and modem-manager is
part of it. When we do compile or build, install, will "modem-manager"
exe-file automatically be generated? But it seems there is no main()
function in the folder of modem-manager. And I didn't see modem-manager exe
file be generated when I do make install networkmanager.  Or we need to
download a separate packet to build and install modem-manager?

Also, if I want to set modem in linux terminal instead of through graphic
applet, how can I do it?

Currently, I put "org.freedesktop.ModemManager.service" under
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-service and "org.freedesktop.ModemManager.conf"
under /etc/dbus-1/system.d. In addition, I put a keyfile TestMode under
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connection. However, I am still not able to make

Yes, that's the right content of the file.
However, you don't have to and should not do anything with this file.

The above suggestion about removing it is just a workaround to disable modem-
manager to be started via NetworkManager daemon.

modem-manager is complementary program to NetworkManager and it is used to 
manage modems. You don't have to execute it manually. It is run automatically 
by NetworkManager.
So, you just have to plug your modem and that's it. As far as configuration is 
concerned, you should set up a connection using nm-connection-editor. You can 
run it from terminal or just right-click on nm-applet in systray and choose 
"Edit Connections...". Then select "Mobile Broadband" tab and add your 
connection.

Re: stopping modem manager

Hi Jirka,

Could you send the file of org.freedesktop.ModemManager.service?

I have one as follows in my ubuntu machine:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.ModemManager
Exec=/usr/sbin/modem-manager
User=root


Should I must run modem-manager to start modem in the embedded system rather
than pc? I looked into the networkmanager 0.8 open source and noticed
modem-manager is part of NetworkManager, then, instead of starting a
separate modem-manager daemon,  can I just run NetworkManger and let
NetworkManager handles the modem? If I can do so, how can I set the
configuration and system-settting?

modem-manager is implemented as a D-Bus service and it's autostarted by D-Bus 
when a call is made on it. NetworkManager pokes it every 2 minutes and thus 
restarts it.

You can disable modem-manager by removing D-Bus service file  
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.ModemManager.service

Re: stopping modem manager

2010-08-23 Thread Rune Gellein
Hi,
I tried to just kill the modem manager, but Network manager started it
again, so if you remove it, network manager will continue to try to start it
in the background.
And because of these dependencies, when you update the system again, the
modem manager will be pulled back in (at least in gentoo).

So what I am looking for is a setting in the Network manager configuration
to stop it from loading the modem manager at all.

Anything like that available?

Rune

For ubuntu my answer would be to remove the modemmanager package
... that would do the trick.

stopping modem manager

2010-08-20 Thread Rune Gellein
Hi,
I just upgraded from Network manager 0.7.2 to 0.8.1 and I noticed it now
automatically starts the modem manager.

I am using wireless lan (using ndiswrapper).  So I don't need the modem
manager which also seem to load lots of modem specific plugins into memory.

Is it anyway to stop Network Manager from loading modem manager on startup?
If not, any plans to add this?
