DUN via bluetooth with a password fails

[Ritesh Khadgaray]

[Impact]

 * Unable to connect to a DUN n/w via bluetooth .

[Test Case]

 * Create a bluetooth connection via DUN capable device ( Nokia 6680) using bluetooth settings from gnome-control-center .
 * I have posted a sample connection created below, with username and password keyed in manually

$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/system-connection/example
[connection]
id=Mobil-BT connection
uuid=c57749ea-92fb-4297-8db4-875b66b3319a
type=bluetooth
autoconnect=false

[bluetooth]
bdaddr=00:16:4E:24:EA:2F
type=dun

[gsm]
number=*99#
apn=apn.example.com
username=userexample
password=secret

[serial]
baud=115200

 * Click on the connection from network icon in panel

[Regression Potential]

 * I dont see any regression potential with the patch for precise/raring/saucy.
 * This looks good as per upstream
 * Fixes issue with dun connection, and works fine with PAN (bt) and phone as modem.

[Other Info]

 * Upstream - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701507 .

ppp: simplify the code using generic functions for getting username/password

Ritesh,

We need a quantal debdiff for this SRU as well could you please try to have that done by tomorrow?

Thanks
Adam

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

Let's wait for this patch to be landed in upstream master tree, then I'll happily push it to saucy and raring... for precise and quantal it may require some rework.

I've notified Jiri that I'm curious how ready the patch is to get merged.

[Iain Lane (laney)]

I pushed this to n-m's bzr but I won't upload - Mathieu can do that if he's happy. Also didn't do anything with the SRU. Thanks for the fix :-)

[Marc Deslauriers (mdeslaur)]

Thanks for the precise, quantal and raring debdiffs. They look good, ACK.

I've uploaded them for processing by the SRU team, with a minor change in the version number to prevent collisions.

Thanks!

As a part of the Stable Release Updates quality process a search for Launchpad bug reports using the version of network-manager from precise-proposed was performed and bug 1255592 was found. Please investigate this bug report to ensure that a regression will not be created by this SRU. In the event that this is not a regression remove the "verification-failed" tag from this bug report and tag 1255592 "bot-stop-nagging". Thanks!

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

Hi Ritesh, can you confirm the patch works for precise?
the package is still in precise-propsed queue!

[Ritesh Khadgaray (khadgaray)]

Hi

  Sorry, I do not have the h/w to test this. The code does seem fine to me ( does not touch ipv6) , and is straight backport of the upstream.

[Chris J Arges (arges)]

This bug is difficult to verify because it requires a DUN capable handset as well as an APN that uses a username and password. If it cannot be verified perhaps it should be rejected so that other fixes can be SRUed for stable releases.

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

This code is a backport from upstream, I don't think there is a real need to test it again, it is part of the new network-manager so far, and work without any issues.

@jpds - What releases have you tested this on? Is it verification-done for precise and quantal?

[Adam Conrad (adconrad)]

Removing the precise and quantal SRUs for this, as no one's stepped up to verify these, and they're blocking further network-manager SRUs. If someone comes forward to do some testing, we can re-upload this patch over the newer uploads.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

quantal has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the quantal task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
