[Bug 1340154] Re: On modem initialization, Modem Manager 0.5.2 sets text mode instead of PDU mode for SMS, but newer modems can't work in this mode
I also have a system which I thought could not be upgraded beyond 12.04
because of a lack of PAE support, but then I recently found that many
Pentium M CPUs can work with a PAE kernel, but do not advertise PAE
support.
To check whether this is the case for your system, simply install a PAE kernel:
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae
See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE
If you find your system really does not work with a PAE kernel, all is not lost, see:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu-fake-PAE
I'm marking this bug as affecting modemmanager instead of modem-manager-
gui.

Bug description:
To-date, cannot utilise Modem Manager GUI in 12.04 LTS, as it is understood that there is a 'bug' in Modem Manager version 0.5.2 that installed in Ubuntu 12.04 by default. On modem initialization it sets text mode instead of PDU mode for SMS, but newer modems can't work in this mode.
I understand the GUI works well and has been introduced into Saucy Salamander and later versions, but Modem Manager versions 0.6 or later has not yet been made available for 12.04 LTS users which enables its SMS functions etc to work.
It is hoped that an updated version of Modem Manager that addresses
this and other bug fixes can be introduced into 12.04 LTS very soon
for users like myself who have been looking out patiently for a couple
of years for this functionality. Thanks in advance for the anticipated
support... cheers!
