plasma-dialer doesn't call
03-18-2022, 06:51 PM
Sorry for a delay, didn't have time to play with it.
@acrux yes, I checked the log
sudo journalctl -b | grep 'modemmanager\|eg25-manager\|modem'
and I see that it hooks to ModemManager and ofono is missing, so you are right, probably it came with vanilla phone, but later was removed from system.
Thanks @dcinoz, you are right, log said that modem is inactive, and turning it on manually with
mmcli -m 0 -e
enables calls with plasma-dialer! I was confused by misleading "disable" button at modem settings screen, because it is clickable and makes impression, like modem is on, but it's not... and enabling doesn't work from that screen. The problem now is that it's doesn't turn modem on automatically after phone restart, so I need to do it manually every time. I tried to put that mmcli command to .bashrc and .bash-profile but that seem to be failing, I'll try to figure out later why specifically.
Another problem that I had is that person on another end can hear me, but I couldn't here them... thanks @israel for the hint, I configured audio device and now everything works. Plus today I've got an update of alsa and plasma-dialer that solved the bug with empty "Active call list" screen.
So bottom line - it works now, that is awesome, except I don't know how to automatically enable modem... I believe there should be some deamon that properly starts it instead of my clunky bash startup scripts? Any hints on that?
