Hi,
After upgrade to 13.1 I noticed the ModemManager process. It is one of the first things which is started after boot.
I have static network setup and pppd is running a DSL modem connected via network.
$ mmcli -L No modems were found
What is ModemManager good for and why it's installed and running by default?
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ModemManager/
It is DBus activated (the systemd service is only a wrapper).
What das this mean? Aren't these links responsible just for always starting it? /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ModemManager.service
No.. they are there to make the DBUS service manageable in CGroups.. but, if everything goes right, a Type=dbus service should not be started 'just like this'.
It should start as soon as something tries to 'reach' the DBus path (/org/freedesktop/ModemManager).
If you run GNOME, then this is triggered as soon as you login (gnome-shell tries to offer modem connections there are any).
Well, that's why I am asking all this. I have static network setup and surely don't want to offer my users any network related stuff. Actually now I have uninstalled and blacklisted ModemManager like I had already avahi and NetworkManager but how I know what else could pop up if a user starts gnome? Can I be sure that my network setup is static and nothing would change anything automatically nor users are allowed to this if they plugin their phones? I still wonder why things like ModemManager are installed and running by default after update. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
