Yeah, essentially ‘all’ WWAN modems (in the states?) that are sold as part of a laptop, have FCC locks. One needs to run a script designed for their modem (I believe, I’m new to cellular modems in Linux) on every boot that unlocks the modem so that it can be used by the system. I grabbed the necessary script but there’s something else missing that I’m not aware of, but kubu has ootb.
I’m just a geek who pokes at things and learns by doing/breaking/fixing, I’m nothing special. But I’m just very baffled at this. It would appear (?) that maybe the service necessary isn’t running, but I don’t know what that service would be (afaik things ending in .d are daemons, of which the /etc/ModemManager/fcc-unlock.d is) so I’m sort of flailing, confused.
I might poke L4N, as if I can get this going, I’d be content with the system. I’m used to struggling with stuff (flashbacks of getting wifi working in the 00s), it’s just so frustrating to be right there and stuck.
Hey, sorry for just never getting back to you, I’m not going to be able to take a look at it, I’ve found myself in somewhat of a mental health crisis, but I hope youre able to work it out, I’m wishing you luck
I’m glad you at least have a working system. And thank you, I appreciate it very much. I’ll find my way back where I need to be, I just have to figure out how first

Thanks, by the way :)

It’s all good :) I reverted back to kubuntu and all is well. I hope things improve for you!
