Bug Description

This bug has been reported the last two times I powered up my laptop, even though my laptop doesn't have mobile telephony capabilities.

Since upgrading to 14.10 I have had two "Mobile Broadband" entries under the network indicator.

The only related software I can think of is installing the Unity 8 desktop preview. (Which I did months ago, so it did not trigger this issue.)

So basically what happened is that unity8 depends on ofono, which ending up getting installed on your system when you installed the preview.

As this is unintentional, I've added a unity8 task as we really should only require ofono on touch devices with builtin modems, for the short to medium term, desktop Ubuntu will still rely in modem-mananger for WWAN support.

I've kept the ofono task open, as there's obviously still a bug there, however it's of low importance to us right now.

If you intend to keep the unity8 preview installed on your desktop, you should be able to fix the annoying crashes by dropping an upstart override file into place for ofono.

Simply do the following:

% echo "manual" > ./ofono.override
% cp ./ofono.override > /etc/init
% sudo reboot

So the dependency chain is unity8 → qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-telephony0.1 → telephathy-ofono → ofono. If we don't want ofono on some installs, we'll need to break the dependency somewhere... I've a feeling it should be between the telephony module and telepathy-ofono, since the functionality feels valid still even without modems (i.e. VoIP). Adding a telephony-service task then.

Thanks Michael. I'll add this to our network/telephony agenda for this week.

The workaround in #6 worked (and I no longer have "Mobile Broadband" entries in my network indicator). Thanks!
