Connected to GSM over USB, clicking "Auto GSM network connection" causes freeze requiring reboot -- Nokia N95

[muzzamo]

Binary package hint: network-manager

I have upgraded to From Hardy to Intrepid.

I Connected a Nokia N95 (N95-1) via USB, option for "Auto GSM network connection" becomes available as expected.

Upon clicking it I get the network manager spinner, two green lights then the system freezes a few seconds later. Unable to kill X or do anything else, can't ping the system anymore (although this may be because networkmanager has disconnected my ethernet connection, i'm not sure of the behavior there)

As a secondary issue I noticed that under intrepid knetworkmanager is being loaded (i have the kubuntu-desktop package) as well as networkmanager as part of gnome startup. Before doing this test I quit knetworkmanager and made sure it is not running, so i'm assuming for now that didn't cause the problem.

Confirmed. Freezes system sometimes or just doesn't work without any indication of failure. Using N95-1 on Vodafone UK.

Same problem.

Intrepid freezes when using Novatel Ovation MC930D 3G modem on Dell E4300 laptop.

Syslog shows nothing. Scroll-lock is not blinking.

Is possible to debug this problem somehow?

I have a 5310 XpressMusic. When I connect it via USB and choose PC-suite on the phone, the connection 'Telia' becomes available in the network manager. I can without problems connect to the internet, but when I choose to disconnect it from the network manager, my computer freezes.

Could it be related?
Anywhere I can look for info?

Has this issue been fixed in Ubuntu 12.04?

[Thomas Hood (jdthood)]

Compare bug #272302. Do you see similar messages in the syslog?

[Expired for network-manager (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

I just restart my pc and it recognised my sound card. And now everything
it's fine (untill next time).
