Unicode strings appearing in AT command queue

[phyce]

Hi,

When I start the FSO/zhone stack, I enter my pin and the zhone app just hangs. When starting the framework by hand, I got this :

(<framework.subsystems.ogsmd.modems.ti_calypso.channel.MiscChannel? object at 0x6162d0> queue is: deque([(u'AT+CPIN="1234"\r\n', <bound method SimSendAuthCode?.responseFromChannel of <ogsmd.modems.abstract.mediator.SimSendAuthCode? object at 0x6af450>>, <bound method SimSendAuthCode?.errorFromChannel of <ogsmd.modems.abstract.mediator.SimSendAuthCode? object at 0x6af450>>, 7)])) Traceback (most recent call last):

raise TypeError?('expected str, got %s' % type(data))

TypeError?: expected str, got <type 'unicode'>

This was tested debian ; but it was crashing on FSO milestone 2 before. On FSO I could kill zhone, and on second startup IIRC it showed the network was registered. On debian I'm still figuring out how to make it work.

This is a French Orange FR simcard that works OK with Qtopia and ASU.

Hi,

this is an aggreate confirmation message: Several people who have tried the Debian installation have hit this issue.

(this also means that unless you have more information to add, you do not have to add a note to this bug, to save mickey nerves ;-) )

Ah, thanks a lot. This is very helpful. I can't apply this in the present form though, since I rather want the actual input fed into the command queue being well formatted in the first place. I'll have to add a safe-guard / conversion in QueuedVirtualChannel?.enqueue().

Hi mickey,

thanks for looking into that. I can confirm that this happens also for dialing a number, so probably for every action that passes user input from zhone via dbus to the modem (I have not tried sending SMS).

I will include lock’s patch temproarily in the Debian package and revert that once it’s fixed properly upstream.

Thanks, Joachim

should be fixed with [4d2f21364ceef5bf8b722387b3fa841defb634d8]
