Bug 334079 – net-misc/networkmanager-0.8.1-r4: could not get port's parent device of TTY's

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jordan 2010-08-23 14:18:17 UTC]

During boot up when Network Manager starts, it prints "modem-manager: (tty/tty&#): could not get port's parent device" (The ampersand being a letter and the number sign being a number). This is printed out for every tty device in /dev.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start my laptop

could you please attach your kernel .config?

What version of udev are you using and do you have extras flag enabled or not?

Could you please include your dmesg as well?

Thanks

I'm not sure if modemmanager will work with:

CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=y
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY_COUNT=32

Let me test it and get back to you.

[Comment 8 Jordan 2010-08-25 22:20:25 UTC]

This output still occurs in net-misc/networkmanager-0.8.1-r6

Hi,

I have the same issue here, did it work?

[Comment 10 Jordan 2010-11-13 23:14:30 UTC]

This is still occurs with net-misc/networkmanager-0.8.2

[Comment 11 Jordan 2010-12-14 20:43:05 UTC]

Still occurring with net-misc/networkmanager-0.8.2-r1

[Comment 12 Jordan 2010-12-14 20:55:19 UTC]

For fun I changed CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS to no and recompiled, it solved the issue.
