Disable the Displaying of Modem Manager Plugins

[eusanpe]

Hi All,

Is there a way to disable the modem manager plugins from displaying at boot up?
I need them for my broadband connection. It keeps on displaying over my splash screen
briefly while booting.

I tried to create a script with the output to /dev/null 2>&1 and modified the ModemManager
dbus service to use this script but to no avail.


Thanks,
Tony

Modemmanager is started as a dbus service, so using a redirect won't work.

I use net-misc/networkmanager-0.9.4.0-r2 with the modemmanager useflag and I don't see those annoying messages.

That is the version with the modemmanager use flag. that I am using. If I don't use a splash screen the modem modules do display anyway.

You can edit the source files to remove this.

• Download the tarball of modemmanager that you are using (or copy it from distfiles).
  
• Extract the source somewhere, and go into the modemmanager directory.
  
• ./configure (add '--with-polkit' if you are using the policykit use flag)
  
• edit the mm-manager.c file in the src directory:
  
  
  
  • comment out line 158 (at least, with modemmanager-6.0.0):
    

    Code:

    mm_info ("Loaded plugin '%s'", mm_plugin_get_name (plugin));

  
  

Then do a make and make install (as root). Fixed.

It annoyed me too.
