Description schweineschwarte 2016-03-12 20:19:47 UTC
Created attachment 122256 [details]
output of "journalctl -f"

Hello,

I have installed openSUSE 42.1 (with Plasma) and now my surfstick doesn't work (with openSUSE 13.1 it works fine).
If I want to connect it shows the message:
"Modem (ttyUSB2)
Das Modem kann nicht initialisiert werden."
(The modem can't initialized.)

The PIN and the connectivitydata (standardapproach) are correct.
The stick was identify correct:
"linux-f9t1:/var/log # lsusb
Bus 004 Device 012: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E169/E620/E800 HSDPA Modem
[...]"

If I do "journalctl -f" it throws the output of the attachment.

The message "Connection requested both IPv4 and IPv6 but dual-stack addressing is unsupported by the modem." says it gives a problem with dual-stack addressing, so I deactivate IPv6, but now "journalctl -f" throws:
"Mär 10 17:46:35 linux-f9t1 NetworkManager[1581]: <warn>  (ttyUSB2): Failed to connect 'AldiTalk/MedionMobile': Connection requested IPv4 but IPv4 is unsuported by the modem."
But that can't be right.

At https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1182566 it gives a similar bug (but it is one year old and not fixed). The called workaround with »$ mmcli -m 1 --simple-connect="pin=1234,apn=pinternet.interkom.de"« works for my problem, too.
But it is only a workaround.

Comment 1 Aleksander Morgado 2016-03-13 10:50:23 UTC
Looks like the connection is failing because NM asks for IPv4+IPv6 and the modem exposes IPv4 support only:
"Connection requested both IPv4 and IPv6 but dual-stack addressing is unsupported by the modem."

Can you try to re-create the connection settings from scratch in NM? Or, can you edit your connection settings so that IPv6 is disabled?

After all, this may not be a ModemManager problem, should've read the log before asking you to move the bug from NM bugzilla to MM bugzilla, sorry for that :/

Hello,
"Or, can you edit your connection settings so that IPv6 is disabled?"

I have done this in the past. ;)
So I wrote:
»The message "Connection requested both IPv4 and IPv6 but dual-stack addressing is unsupported by the modem." says it gives a problem with dual-stack addressing, so I deactivate IPv6, but now "journalctl -f" throws:
"Mär 10 17:46:35 linux-f9t1 NetworkManager[1581]: <warn>  (ttyUSB2): Failed to connect 'AldiTalk/MedionMobile': Connection requested IPv4 but IPv4 is unsuported by the modem."
But that can't be right.«

Ok, then we need MM debug logs to see what MM is doing...

Why? Attaching the logs to the bugreport directly is preferable, so that they can be kept as reference forever.

I see no connection attempt being made in the ModemManager logs; could you try to do that?
Comment 8 schweineschwarte 2016-03-13 16:08:11 UTC
Well, I have to try it, but then comes the message:
"Modem (ttyUSB2)
Das Modem kann nicht initialisiert werden."
(The modem can't initialized.)
After, I stopped the record.
When should I stopped the record else?

The log-record contains some sensitive informations. If I forget to black some sensitive information these don't live forever at the internet.
Comment 10 Aleksander Morgado 2016-03-13 16:26:04 UTC
Ok, it looks like you're affected by the issue fixed here:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=eecb4c46cc35c43c12e84e530b3be50374baa792

This commit will be available in NetworkManager 1.2.

Meanwhile you can try to fully disable PIN request until you get NM 1.2, something like:

$ sudo mmcli -i 0 --pin=XXXX --disable-pin

Ok, thank you for your help!
Your workaround works fine. :)
