DUN connection not registered in Network Manager

[dpc]

After upgrade to ubuntu 10.10, blueman fails to register mobile broadband connections in network manager. Blueman notifies that bluetooth dialup was successfull and will be available in network manager but no such connection can be found there.

Ubuntu 10.10
Blueman 1.21
Network Manager 0.8.1

Same experience here.

Supposedly this works through HAL.

HAL has been removed from Ubuntu.

I know of no tool other than Blueman that will let me access my mobile device's broadband connection. :-(

[Steve Yelvington (steve-yelvington)]

I was able to restore networking by removing Blueman completely, rebooting, deleting the device pairing, and starting over using the native stack.

If you don't thoroughly clean everything and pair the devices from scratch you won't have a chance to properly configure the DUN functionality so that Network Manager accepts it.

Thanks for the hint, that worked smoothly. My A2DP headset connects as well so I think I can do without blueman now.

Same experience: blueman lets me connect, pair, trust, browse on my phone. Starting dial-up connection also seems to be working, but nothing shows up in network manager. Worked flawlessly in Lucid.

[Andrzej Blukis (blukisandrzej)]

The same for me. Purging everything and installing again haven't change anything. There is no DUN connection in NM. If I try to add manually cell phone connection in NM, the selection list of device is inactive (there is "any device" text on it), so i cannot use my phone to configure this. How to fix this?

Same problem as obove. No connections in Network Manager after succesfully connectiong to phone.

[Valmantas Palikša (walmis)]

DUN support currently does not work with NM. However it's possible to get a working DUN connection with PPPSupport plugin in blueman.

I can confirm this too. DUN using blueman doesn't work in Ubuntu 10.10. But now the dial up works with the default bluetooth applet, so the fix is in comment #3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/blueman/+bug/660373/comments/3 Thanks Steve!

I have this problem on Kubuntu with KNetworkManager (or plasma-widget-networkmanagement) too. I tried PPPSupport plugin, but I get always “Modem initialization timed out”. On Ubuntu is it possible to use gnome-bluetooth for DUN, but it does not works for Kubuntu. DUN with Blueman worked well on 10.04.

Hi!
Just upgraded to 10.10.
Tried first native BT stack for a dial-up connection to my Sony Ericsson 905C.
NM did ask for a mobile broadband connection, which seemed registered correctly and showed in Wireless Networks.
When attempting to activate DUN, the mobile was asked for a Desktop remote Connection instead. So no success.

Then tried Blueman which asked for correct connection, but NM did not show any connection. Hopefully, Blueman stack will be updated to work without HAL. It has a much better GUI and functionality then the original applet.

[GNUbee40 (docnino)]

Ok. It seems, the DUN can only be activated through the NM by clicking on the Network name, which bears the name of the Mobile Network provider you entered when setting up the bluetooth DUN.
Quite intuitive, actually, just not what I was used to do.

[Slava Bendersky (volga629-skillsearch)]

Confirm that problem is exist.
NMintegration plugin didn't show up under plugin tab in blue manager.
Xubuntu 10.10 Maverick.

[mumileda (mumileda)]

Confirm that problem on xubuntu 11.10.

[swiftgeek (swiftgeek)]

Confirm that problem on latest Archlinux - it was working without hal and previous versions of networkmanager.

Insane debug level ;)

[Sami Olmari (olmari)]

Try newest blueman, 1.23

[iclestu (iclestu)]

this is affecting me too on kubuntu 12.04. any progress on resolving?

[Marat BN (maratbn)]

Problem definitely effects me, anybody know why it has been marked invalid for Ubuntu?

[Bootch (di-man)]

Same problem in Xubuntu 12.10.

[Dipanjan Patra (patraanjan23)]

confirmed. Same problem in lubuntu 13.04. I just can not connect to internet via bluetooth using blueman! Neither NAP nor DUN works. Blueman adds devices normally without error. But when trying to connect to NAP or PAN or DUN it either shows connected or just gives error message. When it shows connected it actually is not! There is no connection in the network manager. I need a fix for this problem.
P.S. I have found a temporary solution by installing 'gnome-bluetooth'. But it's not very reliable under LXDE. It still let me connect to internet using PAN/NAP and the the network manager also shows connected. But the problem with 'gnome-bluetooth' is that it is not integrated to LXDE so I can't access bluetooth settings at all! Please help!
