Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop

I use CDMA Mobile phone to access internet outside my home. In earlier versions (5.10, 6.06) of Ubuntu I was setting up this modem through "Networking" menu. There was an "activate" button and after clicking on it the system was getting connected to internet by running pppd.

In Ubuntu Edgy the "activate" button has been replaced by a "checkbox" and the manual says that if you check the box the connection gets activated. While this is true for "eth" connections, no connection is established for the "Modem".

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

Since I stopped using this mobile phone I did not check whether this bug got removed in Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10.

Today I have checked with Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 Live CD and confirm that the bug does not exist in both versions.

I don't think it is necessary to check the development release of Ubuntu 8.04.

I have an internet connection with 400 MB monthly limit and could not download large iso files. I generally wait for shipit CDs arrival for new versions of Ubuntu.

But if you feel that I should check this iso for this particular bug could you please introduce any tester who is from New Delhi India to me so that I can obtain the CD from him/her.

Thanks for following up for this bug.
