Modem keeps silently dropping data every few hours on my #Librem5 😐
I could spend *days* troubleshooting why it seems to silently drop it's data connection...
Or I could distro-hop and see if it happens under #postmarketos!
@xethos Maybe installing these patched packages might be the solution. I did not test it myself yet:
@janvlug I swear to god, complaining about anything FOSS is pretty well always the easiest and fastest method to get high quality answers to any problem you may have
Starting from the beginning, and <4 minutes into the FOSDEM talk, Sebastian has described the issue I'm having to a T
Thanks for pointing out what is almost certainly the solution to my biggest roadblock with my L5 <3
@xethos @janvlug The issue I described in that talk has a (downstream) fix that has been deployed in PureOS in early 2023. Unless your system is misconfigured, this can't be the problem you're seeing today.
There's another problem with the modem we're seeing - cellular data connection sometimes gets "stale", with no incoming packets being received on the interface. It's a completely different and unrelated issue that doesn't have a fix yet, just a poor workaround (using old-school PPP for data)
@dos @janvlug Taking a look through the thread (and especially the date merged)... yeah, I kinda figured :/ Thanks for the confirmation (and fixing the first issue!) though
For now, I'll live with using my PPP as my daily carry. I a*dore* having an external charger and multiple spare batteries anyways 😅
Is there an issue I can keep an eye on instead of randomly trying every few months?
