So basically what happened is that unity8 depends on ofono, which ending up getting installed on your system when you installed the preview.

As this is unintentional, I've added a unity8 task as we really should only require ofono on touch devices with builtin modems, for the short to medium term, desktop Ubuntu will still rely in modem-mananger for WWAN support.

I've kept the ofono task open, as there's obviously still a bug there, however it's of low importance to us right now.

If you intend to keep the unity8 preview installed on your desktop, you should be able to fix the annoying crashes by dropping an upstart override file into place for ofono.

Simply do the following:

% echo "manual" > ./ofono.override
% cp ./ofono.override > /etc/init
% sudo reboot
