Bug Description

From https://bugs.launchpad.net/zhongshan/+bug/1572886

current build number: 4
device name: turbo
channel: ubuntu-touch/rc/meizu.en
last update: 2016-04-19 10:38:50
version version: 4
version ubuntu: 20160418
version device: 20160412-d272a77
version custom: 20160324-945-18-69

Steps:
1.turn on sim pin lock
2.reboot the device
3.swipe to dismiss the greeter

Actual result:
phone lock screen is displayed

Expected result:
sim lock screen should appear before the phone lock screen

It also happens sometimes on arale without any pattern to reproduce, just random on reboot.

=============

After debugging it seems that this is caused by ofono removing the modems in the middle of the unlock process. You can see the difference for Turbo and Krillin below.

Log for Turbo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16666147/

Log for Krillin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16675431/

I have tried on a turbo device and behaviour of ofono seems normal (list-modems shows right values and I can enter PIN). It looks like some race condition on boot.

Yes, indicator-network seems to check only at startup if a SIM pin is required. On all the other devices that's fine, ofono is ready by then. However, on turbo the complete stack boots up so fast, ofono isn't ready inspecting available modems and sim cards by that time.

FWIW, here's the turbo related report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/zhongshan/+bug/1559533

Indicator-network is asked by unity8 when it first shows the greeter to "unlock all SIMs". At this point it goes and looks at ofono to find out which SIMs need unlocking.

I can't do any further debugging, as I don't have access to a turbo device.

Pete Woods (pete-woods) wrote :

Assuming mzanetti is correct, and that what's happening is that the indicator is asking ofono about the SIMs before it is ready, then we need a way of getting the indicator to delay the unlocking until ofono actually *is* ready. I'm not sure what signals we should be waiting on there, though..

@pete-woods, you need to wait for org.ofono.SimManager to appear in the list of interfaces of Interfaces property for each modem. You can check at that moment Present property there and if Present=1, check LockedPins.

Got my Meizu Pro 5 today, upgraded to rc-proposed and this started happening. I need to unlock SIM manually now from indicator menu.

On OTA-10.2 I got the SIM unlock dialog on boot still, several times.

Pete Woods (pete-woods) wrote :

Did some debugging on this today, it's caused by ofono removing all the modems after we queue them up for unlocking. Then it adds them back again a short time later. This basically clears them from our unlock queue, as they are different modems as far as indicator-network knows.

Further debugging reveals this happens at each startup of indicator-network. Maybe the bug is in QOfono...

No, that's not true. Misread the logs.

I'm adding a branch that improves logging in the indicator, although obviously it doesn't fix the issue that exists in Ofono.

The last few times I've booted my turbo i had to enter the sim pin, so it might be working now? or maybe just good luck?

@julia-palandri, this is all about timing, so probably it is just good luck. However, silo 29 has a new ofono that should fix this, you can give it a try if you want. Ticket is https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/1610 .

After OTA 13, the problem still exists on my phone. It worked only once: the first time after the update.
