Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 19.04 (and likely earlier) Modem Manager is installed with
filter policy 'strict' as opposed to 'default', which actually makes
Modem Manager _less_ strict regarding explicitly blacklisted ttys (see
man modemmanager).
This means that ttys, that are explicitly blacklisted from Modem Manager
by using ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1" in its udev rule is still opened
and probed by Modem Manager although it should not.
This is a common cause of problems and frustrations for people working
with actual serial devices, e.g. within embedded development (e.g.
Arduino and the like). See https://nick.zoic.org/art/failed-to-set-dtr-
rts-systemd-modemmanager/ for an example.
A proposed solution is to change the following line in:
/lib/systemd/system/ModemManager.service
from:
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ModemManager --filter-policy=strict
to:
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ModemManager --filter-policy=paranoid
