Cosmo Communicator - Linux / Re: Full installation guide KDE Plasma on Cosmo Communicator
« on: July 09, 2023, 07:38:14 pm »
Hi there from July 2023. Thank you very much for all of you hard work to make this guide!
Sadly I haven't been as successful as tdashna. I've been through the guide multiple times trying different interpretations of the instructions, but always end up in the same place: When I run "activate-context 1" I always get this error:
At no point have I gotten the Phone or Messages apps to work. They always report "No network/There is currently no network."
Observation: When I install mobile-broadband-provider-info it warns me that that it's downgrading that package. Should I have skipped the downgrade and left the newer package intact?
When you open Networks plasmoid from the widget bar is the mobile signal box ticked and the airplane mode box unticked?
Yes, mobile signal is ticked and airplane mode is unticked.
Is the SIM and phone working fine in Android?
Yes. The guys at the Verizon store set me up with a new SIM card especially for the phone, and it works beautifully when I use stock Android.
Is the SIM in slot 1 and you rebooted after adding the SIM?
Yes, slot 2 always has a MicroSD in it and there have been many reboots.
When you open Connman UI app (search from the Application Launcher) there is a status tab and a mobile tab. What do they say?
The Status tab says that Cellular is powered but not connected.
On the mobile tab Cellular box: Powered is ticked. Mobile data is unticked and if I tick it, the tick is a lighter blue, it waits a few seconds and then unticks itself. Rude!
Selected SIM has both Powered and Online boxes ticked.
Mobile Data has both boxes unticked, and ticking has the same self-unticking behaviour as above.
Connection type lets me select any of the three options, but the bubble is a lighter blue and it doesn't seem to have any effect on anything.
Here are my settings from Ofono's list-contexts scripts, in case that helps. Allegedly AccessPointName can be either internet or vzwinternet. I've tried both without success.
I've been a Raspberry Pi enthusiast since the very beginning and I daily drive a Framework laptop with Ubuntu on it, so my confidence level is high that I understood your instructions and carried them out properly. I'm also ready to try anything to get this thing working and will gladly report any results back to help out the community here! Thanks again for any help you can offer.
