[Bug 318265] Re: Network-Manager-Applet asks for PUK and PIN of only up to 4 digits long while these codes can be up to 8 digits long
My Lucid installation with NetworkManager version 0.8 still only allows 4 character PIN. A workaround, for reference follows. I was able to reset the SIM card using the PUK by doing the following: > sudo dbus-send --system --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.ModemManager /org/freedesktop/ModemManager/Modems/0 org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Modem.Gsm.Card.SendPuk string:"" string:"" where the '--print-reply' is not strictly necessary, and I'm not sure if I needed the '--type=method_call' either. I guessed as the '--dest' to send to and verified by using '.GetImsei' to see when it worked. The path was taken from the /var/log/syslog message where the modem was initialized. The method is from the spec.html document provided as docs with NetworkManager. Once I sent this message, I was able to use the modem with the PIN again. Whew!

On my lucid installation (with proposed and backports repositories disabled and everything updated) it is still only possible to enter 4 characters. Mathieu, do you have proposed or backports enabled? Is the change in an update that is delivered there? -- Network-Manager-Applet asks for PUK and PIN of only up to 4 digits long while these codes can be up to 8 digits long https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/318265 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Looking at this, it seems to me like PINs longer than 4 characters should now be supported in network-manager 0.8 (lucid and later). Could someone please confirm this works for them so we can close this bug?

One can also "enter" the PIN manually (once every time the modem is connected to the computer), assuming you know the serial port used for configuration and that the modem supports standard AT commands: echo -e AT+CPIN=\"\"\\r > /dev/ttyUSB$ where is your PIN and $ is the number of the corresponding port. On my Huawei E1550, it's always the first port. -- Network-Manager-Applet asks for PUK and PIN of only up to 4 digits long while these codes can be up to 8 digits long https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/318265 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As a work-around you can use the SIM card in a mobile phone enter the PUK-code there, and set a new PIN-code, then use the SIM card without problems. -- Network-Manager-Applet asks for PUK and PIN of only up to 4 digits long while these codes can be up to 8 digits long https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/318265 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
