GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 776384
nm-applet not show wwan options on menu after logout/in Edit
Last modified: 2017-01-09 07:04:33 UTC
With DW5811e(EM7455), mobile data connection not show on nm indicator after logout -> login. packages which be used: network-manager: network-manager_1.2.2-0ubuntu0.16.04.3_amd64 nm-applet: network-manager-gnome_1.2.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.4_amd64 Steps to reproduce: 1. boot device with 4G sim card + DW5811e(EM7455) wwan card 2. check nm-applet indicator then "Mobile Braodband" could be found in menu in normal cases. 3. logout then login 4. check nm-applet indicator then "Mobile Braodband" not shows in menu anymore. 5. but still could connect to wwan by nmcli, so looks device and networkmanager work fine. investigation: * In nm-applet, it caused by device-added signal comes before mm_new_ready() which is the call back of mm_manager_new(). And that asynchronous way was added by 408b88cc (Dan Williams 2014-05-01: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23639247/ * revert 408b88cc fixed this issue. also created a issue there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1651019
btw, my distribution is Ubuntu Xenial 16.04.1.
Proposed fix in branch bg/mm-device-race-bgo776384.

awesome! thanks, btw, could that patch be merged to nm-applet 1.2 as well? so that, we can also enjoy the fix by the distributions which stick on nm-applet 1.2 :)
