Embedded Linux Discussions

Hi,

I try to install modem manager into BBBw (BeagleBoard.org Debian Image 2019-07-07)
I got Error:
E: Unable to locate package modem-manager

If I use snap:
sudo snap install modem-manager
Error: sudo: snap: command not found

Thank you,

David

Hi,

I downloaded deb file for manual installation. But it fails on dependency. I manually install one of the depended package:
You might want to run ‘apt --fix-broken install’ to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
modemmanager : Depends: libpolkit-gobject-1-0 (>= 0.99) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt --fix-broken install’ with no packages (or specify a solution)

Thank you,

David

I’m sorry, snap is not installed by default.

Something is wrong with your network… Are you connecting thru WiFi or the USB interface?

Hi Robert,

I am using BBBw wifi for internet.

May be blacked by company’s firewall?

It was working before with WIFI. WIFI is autoconnected after booting up.

Let me verify the internet access first. Thank you!

Hi,

It was blocked. It is crazy. Everything is blocked without notice. And ping is blocked. No clue what’s going on. No I am connected to a guest wifi. It’s updating. Thank you very much.

Best Regards,

David
