Re: HP lt4220 (Snapdragon X12 LTE)

Canonical dropped dispatcher-c-rewrite from their usbmodeswitch package: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/us ... 0-2ubuntu1

So I moved on to Ubuntu 20.10 (and usbmodeswitch 2.6.1) to see if current usbmodeswitch will able to configure modem automatically. After all usbmodeswitch-data is updated now and include config for this modem.

Unfortunately, for some reason usbmodeswitch fail, and I have no idea why. Please take a look at this usb_modeswitch_2-3 log:

Code: Select all

USB_ModeSwitch log from Sun Sep 27 06:27:13 +02 2020
Raw parameters: --switch-mode 2-3
Use global config file: /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf

Use global config file: /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf
Use top device dir /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-3
Check class of first interface ...
 No access to first interface. Exit
edit: Another attempt looks more promising:

Code: Select all

USB_ModeSwitch log from Sun Sep 27 06:42:18 +02 2020
Raw parameters: --switch-mode 2-3
Use global config file: /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf

 Interface class is 02.

Extract config 03f0:0857 from collection /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/configPack.tar.gz

Command line:
usb_modeswitch -W -D  -b 2 -g 3 -v 03f0 -p 0857 -f $flags(config)
Then log does not change, probably because usb_modeswitch crash:

So either way it doesn't work :(

Just to be sure I checked "echo 3 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/2-3/bConfigurationValue" and it allow to get modem working.

Turns out first log caused by regression in Linux 5.9 (I installed it to get fix for other issue). So it's not an usb-modeswitch bug.
I will try to bisect it and will post result here, because this regression is directly related to usb-modeswitch and prevent it from working correctly.

As for second log and crash - I have no idea, but it's doesn't happen on Linux 5.8 so I not sure if it's important.

I have responded to the kernel bugzilla report. I'll see if I can pinpoint the reason why I introduced the "change" event in the udev rule.

I had the same/similar issue with my HP lt4132 since Kernel 5.9

The fix discussed on the Bugzilla Page on the Kernel change (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209469) worked fine for me:

Changing

Code: Select all

ACTION!="add|change"
to this:

Code: Select all

ACTION=="add"
in /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules
resulted in the modem working again.

I would not really expect this to be changed back in the kernel anytime soon, as it reads like it was done to fix other issues.

The maybe a fix needs to be done on USB_Modeswitch side.

I have posted the report that triggered the change with "change" (haha).

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209469#c16

I'll have to check how a switch back to "add" only will affect reboot behaviour.
