Description Franz Holzinger 2019-03-10 13:50:13 CET
I use the net applet to connect the GPRS/Edge/3G HUAWEI modem and I enter the password. I see the connection. Then I open the browser window and enter any url. Normally I should now be redirected to the login page of the provider in order to connect again. This does not work any more as in Mageia 5. I do not see any provider login page. It still works with WLAN, but not with GPRS. The connection GPRS still works fine under Windows Vista.

CC'ing some people who can help figure out which package is the culprit.

Franz, can you please, after booting your system and trying again:

  Open a terminal/konsole
  Become root
  Run:
       journalctl -ab > log.txt

  Attach log.txt to this bug report.

The connection via the GPRS modem has not been successfull. No error message is shown. However the "connect" button remains inactive all the time. It never changes into an active "deconnect" button.

Summary: GPRS internet is not redirected to provider login page => GPRS internet is broken

Thanks for the logs, Franz.

Assigning to the Mageia Tools maintainers and CC'ing the registered drakx-net maintainer, for them to figure out whether drakx-net is the culprit or whether the issue is with another package.
