Here is a workaround to auto start a mobile broadband connection after user login:
In the command line list the configured connections in your Network Manager: $ nmcli con list NAME UUID TYPE TIMESTAMP-REAL Tele2 Default 1 93c93207-adce-40e4-beb5-d9f9c830d474 gsm Sat 25 Feb 2012 01:27:42 PM CET Vipnet connection 1 054bdd1f-34e3-4db1-b18b-d38e885276c8 gsm never The first item in a row is the connection name. Now, create a command script that starts one of your connections after a delay of e.g. 10 seconds (maybe you'll need a longer delay if your broadband device needs more time to initialize): #!/bin/sh sleep 10 nmcli nm wwan on nmcli con up id "Tele2 Default 1" If the connection is used by multiple users on your Ubuntu, you can put the lines in a file accessible to all users, e.g. /usr/local/bin/start_my_connection and set the file permissions as follows: $ sudo chmod 775 /usr/local/bin/start_my_connection Finally, configure starting the script after login: in Startup Applications Preferences add an item and enter the script path (/usr/local/bin/start_my_connection) as the program command. ** Attachment added: "Startup Applications Preferences screenshot" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/modemmanager/+bug/874900/+attachment/2782055/+files/add_startup_application.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874900 Title: "Enable mobile broadband" option gets unchecked To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/modemmanager/+bug/874900/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
