bug#35640: Make USB modems just work on Guix

[pelzflorian (Florian Pelz)]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1971 bytes --]

When plugging in a USB modem, i.e. a “surf stick” / internet stick
with a SIM card for mobile broadband, setup should be as simple as
WiFi.  However, a few things are missing in Guix.

First, the manual claims:

 -- Scheme Variable: modem-manager-service-type
     […]
     This service is part of ‘%desktop-services’ (*note Desktop
     Services::).

But it is not part of %desktop-services.  The first attached patch
fixes this oversight.

Now I can type this to get an internet connection:

sudo nmcli connection add type gsm ifname ttyUSB1 apn internet


However, I want to be able to do this setup graphically.  I made a
second patch to propagate iso-codes (for mobile broadband country
selection) and mobile-broadband-provider-selection (for selecting
defaults for providers) in nm-connection-editor
(network-manager-applet) and gnome-control-center.

Propagation is ugly though.  Should I try patching
network-manager-applet instead?  I assume there are other packages
doing such patching that I can imitate.


Now I can configure the modem as Mobile Broadband in a graphical
interface.  I cannot do so in nmtui; I believe this modem setup
feature is not included in nmtui.


However, this is not the whole truth.  Before I can configure
anything, I have to run

sudo ~/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -c ~/Downloads/usb-modeswitch-data-20170806/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:14fe -v 0x12d1 -p 0x14fe

because my modem by default presents itself as a CD containing Windows
drivers and not as a USB modem.  Preferrably, usb-modeswitch and
usb-modeswitch-data would be packaged (as a single package).  I can
try that later this week.

Lastly, there are udev rules in usb-modeswitch, I believe, because on
Debian I do not need to run any command; mode switching happens
automatically when plugging in the USB modem.  I suppose that means
there should also be a usb-modeswitch-service-type extending udev?

Regards,
Florian

I meant mobile-broadband-provider-info.

There is a branch wip-gnome3.30.  Should I base the patch on
wip-gnome3.30 or on master?

There are two source URLs, so these two must be two packages, right?

The installation medium uses %desktop-services?  I will check, but my
proposal does not concern the installation medium.

There is no size difference.  The patches only affect installed systems.

The comment is unnecessary, but otherwise LGTM!

I’ve confirmed that there is no size increase:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix size network-manager | tail -1
total: 534.9 MiB
$ guix size network-manager modem-manager | tail -1

Would it be an option to avoid propagation by instead substituting
references to these two things in the code of network-manager-applet and
gnome-control-center?  WDYT?

Thanks!

:) I have attached the patch without the command.

Also attached is my current work-in-progress package for
USB_ModeSwitch.  It does *not* work because I cannot figure out how to
use tcl in the package’s inputs field.

#:use-module gives me errors; only (@ (gnu packages tcl) tcl) appears
to work.

I will try finding and imitating an example for such substitutions
tomorrow.

I uploaded

This was a mistake, I mean

+              ("tcl" tcl:tcl)))

It still gives me errors when used:

This tcl:tcl gets resolved all right elsewhere in the libusb.scm file.
There must be something special about <package> definitions or their
inputs.

The problem is there's a use-modules cycle somewhere.

Should be

   (inputs `(("libusb" ,libusb)
             ("tcl" ,tcl:tcl)))

But I guess you meant that anyway.

The problem is there's a use-modules cycle somewhere.
Try putting usb-modeswitch in another module (a new one if necessary).

Also, does it really require tcl?  Sounds kinda weird to me.

Using a new module helps, thank you!  Now I also do not need a prefix
tcl: anymore.  @Ludo: without that prefix, I got errors because 'zip
was redefined or something, I do not remember now.

Now only packaging issues remain.  When I use trivial-build-system,

       #:builder
       (begin
         (use-modules (guix build utils)
                      (guix packages))
         (let ((source (assoc-ref %build-inputs "source"))
               (tar (assoc-ref %build-inputs "tar"))
               (bzip2 (assoc-ref %build-inputs "bzip2"))
               (share-dir (string-append %output "/share")))
           (copy-file source "data.tar.bz2")
           (invoke (string-append bzip2 "/bin/bzip2") "-d" "data.tar.bz2")
           (invoke (string-append tar "/bin/tar") "xvf" "data.tar")
           (install-file (string-append "usb-modeswitch-data-"
                                        (package-version this-package)
                                        "/usb_modeswitch.d") share-dir))
         #t)))

this package-version call seems not to work (at least not without more
adding more modules).  Is this the right approach?  Also I forgot, do
I need this #t at the end?


> Also, does it really require tcl?  Sounds kinda weird to me.

TCL is not needed for command-line mode switching, but there is a TCL
script called usb_modeswitch_dispatcher that gets called by the UDEV
rule and by the systemd service file shipped with USB_ModeSwitch.
This dispatcher automatically modeswitches USB devices that are
plugged in, I believe.

Florian

That could be a collision with ‘zip’ from (srfi srfi-1) or with ‘zlib’
from (guix licenses), which can both be worked around by doing something
along these lines:

  #:use-module ((srfi srfi-1) #:hide (zip))

You’re missing a comma (“unquote”) so that ‘package-version’ is called
on the host side; it doesn’t exist on the build side.

#t is unnecessary here.

Just “New file”.  Make sure to add the file to gnu/local.mk please.

Please adjust the module name: it should be ‘usb-modeswitch’.

Please make it a full sentence, and ideally expound a bit (info "(guix)
Synopses and Descriptions").

Please don’t refer to global variables ‘%outputs’ and ‘%build-inputs’.
Instead, take them from the phase’s arguments:

  (lambda* (#:key source outputs inputs #:allow-other-keys)
    (let* ((out (assoc-ref outputs "out")))
      …))

The phase must return #t.

Probably `multi-mode', as expected in Texinfo.

Could you send an updated patch?

Is USB_ModeSwitch needed for proper use of ModemManager?  I’d say “no”
but I’m unsure.

Thanks for working on it!

when running make.  Then I rebuilt and commented and uncommented and
moved some code and putting the code in gnu/packages/libusb.scm worked
again in ./pre-inst-env.  Later it failed again.  Danny speculated the
reason was a use-module cycle.  I would like confirmation that this is
what a use-module cycle looks like and that I should stop trying to
put usb-modeswitch back in gnu/packages/libusb.scm.


As for the packaging, I hope it is correct to still refer to %outputs
in the trivial-build-system for usb-modeswitch-data.

Should I also make the usb-modeswitch-data package install the license
file of usb-modeswitch-data?

Or should I use gnu-build-system instead of trivial-build-system?
trivial works now though.

The file dispatcher.c of usb-modeswitch is licensed bsd-2 and not
gpl2+.  Should I list both licenses or just gpl2+?

I have checked the license of the files of usb-modeswitch-data and
usb-modeswitch by going through each of them with the `less` program
and reading its header while assuming that no license header means the
file has the license described in the README file, by diff’ing the
license files with a license downloaded from gnu.org, and that nothing
looked like a program blob (there only are very small hex strings for
the messages USB_ModeSwitch sends like

MessageContent="55534243123456782400000080000612000024000000000000000000000000"

that seem harmless).  Is this the usual procedure?

Currently I also install the UDEV rule shipped with
usb-modeswitch-data; I hope this is correct.

Currently I install the usb_modeswitch_dispatcher that is needed by
the udev rule in a separate output called “dispatcher”.  I am unsure
if this usb_modeswitch_dispatcher would need the usb_modeswitch
program from the “out” output.  Is it OK when one output only works
when the “out” output is installed too?

What is still missing is adding a service type for usb-modeswitch that
extends the udev service type by the rules file and that calls the
usb-modeswitch dispatcher once every reboot.  I can try making one,
but I am not sure if this is the right approach.  I am also unsure if
this service should be part of %desktop-services; many modems need it
though and modem-manager-service-type.

Regards,
Florian

You cannot use #:hide on (gnu packages …) modules, for unfortunate and
obscure reasons.  The trick would be to hide the other ‘zip’ binding,
the one from (srfi srfi-1).

Yes.

In general we should install license files.  If ‘trivial’ works for you,
that’s OK; an additional line to install the license would be welcome,
but not blocking.

I think it’s enough to mark it as ‘gpl2+’ because, IIUC, the combination
of all this is GPLv2+.  If you think that needs clarification, you can
just add a comment about the ‘license’ field.

Yes.  I often just scan a few source file headers, not necessarily all
of them, but of course doing an exhaustive search is even better!

Yep.

I’d say no.  :-)  In general, we want “guix install foo:bar” to provide
something that Just Works.

We’ll see that later.  :-)

Let me know if you want to send an updated patch if you we should
proceed with the one you sent.

I did not #:hide anything.  The error is reported when (or after?) a
call to “make” loads guix/scripts/pack.scm (which I have not changed)
after putting the packages and required modules into libusb.scm
instead of usb-modeswitch.scm.

I add the license file.

Since nobody is likely to use the USB_ModeSwitch dispatcher.c without
USB_ModeSwitch, I tend to leave it at gpl2+.

I will try substitute*ing the dispatcher script to use /gnu/store
until it just works.

I will send an updated patch tomorrow with a working ”dispatcher“

bug#35640: Make USB modems just work on Guix

Please find attached a patch that no longer propagates
usb-modeswitch-data from usb-modeswitch.  I can now modeswitch my USB
modem by running

$ ./pre-inst-env guix install usb-modeswitch:dispatcher
$ lsmod -v #find bus name and device name of modem
[…]
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 12d1:14fe Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Modem (Mass Storage Mode)
$ for d in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/; do echo $d; cat $d/busnum; cat $d/devnum; done
[…]
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/
1
7
[…]
$ sudo usb_modeswitch_dispatcher --switch-mode 1-1 --config-file ~/.guix-profile/etc/usb_modeswitch.conf


I added the --config-file option since by default
usb_modeswitch_dispatcher loads its optional config file from /etc and
a future Guix service type for USB_ModeSwitch should be able to pass a
config file.


The udev rules file in usb-modeswitch-data has lines like:

ATTR{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTR{idProduct}=="002a", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '/%k'"

Maybe I should substitute these by

RUN+="/gnu/store/…-usb-modeswich-2.5.2/usb_modeswitch '/%k'"

but this would introduce a cyclic dependency between usb-modeswitch
and usb-modeswitch-data.  Therefore this rules file should rather be
fixed in a future USB_ModeSwitch service type.

Regards,
Florian

Or should I rather use a patch file instead of substitute*?

Sounds good.  Another option would be to install the udev rule as part
of the ‘usb-modeswitch’ package, which makes more sense and would solve
the problem.  But anyway, don’t lose your hair over it.

I think it’s OK like this.  It does mean Guix’s
‘usb_modeswitch_dispatcher’ has an option that upstream doesn’t provide.
It would be worth proposing it upstream.

Thanks!

The udev rules file is shipped with usb-modeswitch-data, so I need to
install it from usb-modeswitch-data.

Frankly, I am not actually sure if usb_modeswitch_dispatcher is really
needed for the USB_ModeSwitch service type.  In much earlier (2010)
versions of USB_ModeSwitch
(<https://web.archive.org/web/20100921062014/http://draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/usb-modeswitch-data-20100826.tar.bz2>)
the UDEV rules file referred to usb_modeswitch_dispatcher.  It does
not do so anymore, instead it apparently uses usb_modeswitch directly.

I will ask in the USB_ModeSwitch forums tomorrow if the dispatcher is
needed.  I will also ask about an option for specifying the config
file.  usb_modeswitch has one, usb_modeswitch_dispatcher does not have
the option.

Florian

bug#35640: Make USB modems just work on Guix

[pelzflorian (Florian Pelz)]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1801 bytes --]

Find attached patches that make USB modems just work, fixing this bug.

I have confirmed that at least on x86_64-linux

(service usb-modeswitch-service-type)

works with the default config and that

(service usb-modeswitch-service-type
         (usb-modeswitch-configuration
                              (config-file #f)))

works, passing no config file, leading to different defaults.  Manual
use as described in a comment of the usb-modeswitch package works as
well.


I hope using putenv before wrap-program is OK.  I tried using
computed-file #:options instead, but could not get it to work.

I am uncertain if having paragraphs like this in
modem-manager-service-type and usb-modeswitch-service-type is a good
idea:

     This service is part of ‘%desktop-services’ (*note Desktop
     Services::).

I am sure, it is needed.

There are two different executable files called usb_modeswitch.  The
one used by the UDEV rule runs the dispatcher.

I have not asked.  I will propose the patch after this is commited at
Guix.

bug#35640: Make USB modems just work on Guix

I forgot to ask: The USB_ModeSwitch website says:

If you are a system integrator (package maintainer) you can use this
XML file to check for new releases: usb-modeswitch-versions.xml
<http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/usb-modeswitch-versions.xml>.

Is it possible to add a hash of this URL to the usb-modeswitch and
usb-modeswitch-data packages so that guix refresh notifies us of new
releases?

No, it’s not that simple.  You could write an “updater” (see (guix
upstream)) that specifically reads this file and reports the new version
specified in this file, but maybe it’s overkill to do that for a single
package.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I think it’s OK.

Looks like we’re almost there!  A couple of comments and suggestions:

(computed-file …) should probably be moved to a separate procedure, to
keep the main procedure concise.

Instead of (case …), maybe this would be slightly clearer:

  #$(if config-file
        #~(string-append … #$config-file)
        "")

Perhaps add comments to explain what’s happening here.

Why do you think so?  ‘wrap-program’ does not read $PATH, AFAICS.

wrap-program uses (which "bash").  Without bash in the path, it
generates a wrong shebang “#!#f”.

I meant that the ‘patch-shebangs’ phase should take care of this, so you
can remove this substitution and save two lines.

It is needed.  Upstream USB_Modeswitch bundles jimtcl.  Its Makefile
uses jimsh0 from the bundled jimtcl, if possible, and replaces the
shebang using sed.  Therefore it seems right to use jimsh for Guix’
USB_ModeSwitch as well.

patch-shebang fails because the basename of #!/usr/bin/tclsh is not
jimsh.

patch-shebang: /gnu/store/24yzny7szv1fnmq6ci1x2ndyy7dzyigk-usb-modeswitch-2.5.2-dispatcher/bin/usb_modeswitch_dispatcher: warning: no binary for interpreter `tclsh' found in $PATH

In short, you cannot do that for (gnu packages …) modules.

But if you remove that #:prefix, it’s hopefully fine?

I have attached the patch again without the comment and with
mentioning modem support in the Desktop services section in the
doc/guix.texi manual.  Previously it was only said in the Network
services section that modem-manager-service-type were part of
%desktop-services.

Applied.  I had applied the desktop.scm yesterday, so I’ve taken just
the texi part here.

I have confirmed that the patch attached to this e-mail makes
network-manager-applet’s libnma library load its data from the store
and not the profile.  This fixes nm-connection-editor from
network-manager-applet as well as gnome-control-center which
previously required modem-broadband-provider-info and iso-codes to be
installed in the profile.

I am still working on packaging USB_ModeSwitch which some USB modems
require.

Florian

Great.  Applied with the changes below; the spacing change is to please
Emacs (C-M-a & co. get confused by opening parentheses at the beginning
of a line.)
