Description of problem: Gnome GUI does not have a modem controls. It will not show up in the top right corner menu nor does it work within Gnome settings as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.38.1-2.fc33.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the Fedora 2. Try to start or access modem Actual results: Nothing. No modem menu nor modem control Expected results: Modem entry shall be there. Additional info: Modem Manager GUI will see modem, but is unable to activate connections etc, but at least nmtui does work and will let activate modem profiles.
Also, gnome-control-center does not have the modem related parts as well.
I am suspecting the Gnome to be broken from the settings side of things, but just issuing dconf reset -f /org/gnome/ for the current user did not change a thing. Is there something more to check and reset?

Modem controls are back and seem to work again as well.
Where ? I still don't have modem controls in Gnome top right menu, neither in the network settings.
Note: The gnome-control-center modem portion is not working for me, but I have desktop top right corner menu what does work.

FEDORA-2020-543204d787 has been pushed to the Fedora 33 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.
Sorry but problem persists. Even with dconf reset, or creating a new user. Nothing to activate LTE connection on Fedora33 and Gnome 3.38. No menu in the top right corner and no settings in Gnome control center. It was working perfectly before F33.

(In reply to Edouard Bourguignon from comment #11) > Cf https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3203 The fix for that issue is what was just backported. Does anything show up in the journal from gnome-shell when you login or try to access modem controls from the system menu?
There's nothing anymore about modem control in the system menu, since Gnome 3.38. I will try to login and see if I get something in the journal
Can modems be discovered and otherwise managed using `nmcli`?
That's what I want to check now, maybe I have an other bug somewhere else. Got this with nmcli: > nmcli con up "Orange Orange Internet" Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection (device lo not available because device is strictly unmanaged). This connection was created in F32, it was working fine when configured/activated from Gnome, never tried from nmcli before tho. And since I can't edit it from Gnome now... lsusb: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 03f0:a31d HP, Inc HP lt4132 LTE/HSPA+ 4G Module
Does modemmanager detect your modem? mmcli -L should tell you.
Ok, I've just figured out that it works 1 boot out of 10, or something like that. And when the card is detected, I have everything in place in Gnome, and LTE connectivity works. So I guess my problem is not related anymore to this one (maybe kernel?). Big thanks for your help.
