Too bad.
Then, you could do a grep on the entire disk (except your home and data) to find the string.
I started with /etc and found nothing relevant. Trying /usr/share/doc wasn't relevant either :-(
How can I stop this? At worst, you might remove its rpm. Sort of like pulling at the tread on the jumper, what else gets unravelled?
Removing that leads to the deinstallation of NetworkManager and NetworkManager-KDE. No doubt that will lead to other operational problems!
Don't use YaST to remove it: use rpm --nodeps. Hopefully, some program will complain that some thing is missing. Who cares.
Or chmod the binary to not be executable.
Hm. Sounds better. At least that might give me some error logs that I can trace back through ...
Any suggestions has to how I can make YAST actually delete the entry? How about manually deleting some file from the command line?
Yes, you can remove or rename the modem-manager file. Something else will complain or crash, I suppose - and hope };-)
The trouble is I can't pin one down. The best I've found is one with the modem strings, but since the modem isn't configured anyway the settings in there are all empty. Deleting that didn't help.
The ideal would be knowing what configuration can change that behavior, but I have no idea. By making it crash, you might learn which app is responsible, at least.
Makes sense, yes, but so far my 'hacking' (and guesswork-driven at that!) hasn't hit on it.
