Of note: I plugged the device (Voyager) in (via USB) to keep it powered. What I did not know is that it is detected as a USB "wired" wifi device! Network Manager connected to it without me having to...

Final Update...

I found the best solution: cancel Verizon and go with Clear. They have a wireless "hot spot" device that does not require any connection software. It is just a secure router.

I will do what I can to help!

I get that sometimes as well. I usually figure it is just Verizon.

Did you setup the device via Windowz? Make sure its firmware is updated?

Did you check to make sure your Network Manager is not trying to create a connection?

Right click on the Network Manager and click Edit Connections. The select the Mobile Broadband tab. Delete...

Check for any /dev/ttyACM (sometimes mine shows up as /dev/ttyACM1). If you not getting any listing, then I would say the modem is the problem.

Try: (without the modem plugged in)

Greetings jayk_s4,

The first thing I would do is change the [Dialer Verizon 4G] to [Dialer Verizon4G] (remove the space). Then use wvdial Verizon4G to start the connection.

Did you activate...

Figures.

After many attempts to find a solution. I find one right after posting here. :redface:

This worked for me:

Open a terminal:


id -u <username>

Bummping this thread.

I am also having this ussue. I can send files from /home/USERNAME to the trash (via nautilus), but under /var/www/html I always get the "Cannot move file to trash, do you...

Alrighty then.

Never mind.

Greetings,

I am currently using xfce and slim on ubuntu 11.10. (xubuntu-desktop)

There are still a few "bugs" to work out, but the more annoying one has to do with the plymouth splash.

No worries. That is what make a forum great! The conversation will wait for you. ;)

This one is for 4G:

[Dialer Verizon4G]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 100000000

Uploading my current configuration:

Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = AT Q0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Stupid Mode = 1
New PPPD = yes

Alrighty then!

Just bought a Sony VAIO Laptop E Series VPCEB. (Yes, with *******)

I installed Ubuntu 11.10 dual boot. Working well.

Again, no love for the Pantech UML290 VW. However, using...

I forgot to subscribe! Which is why I did not get the notices. ;)

No worries. I am sure we can get this to work. Just to be thorough, do you have ppp

Thanks Mike!

Sorry for the late reply.

I know for a fact that Verizon has a version of VZAccess for Linux. It comes with Red Hat Enterprise. The problem could easily be solved if Verizon...

Alrighty then!

The following code is, at best, a crude effort. It works on my machine and takes a few things for granted. It has no real error checking. I created it so that I could enable and...

Finally found the answer to this.

Found this: Re: [SOLVED] GNOME PPP Check permissions

So, I set /usr/sbin/pppd to allow anyone to run/execute it.


sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/pppd

Then, to...

UPDATE:

Still no connection via Network Manager.

However, I did get wvdial to make a connection. Posting here so that it may help someone else.

I gathered data from these posts/threads:...

I searched around a bit before committing to upgrading to the Pantech UML 290. All indications were that it would work on Ubuntu out of the box.

I found and followed the instructions here:
