My guess here is that what I saw was an instance of the generic problem that NM seems to have some times creating connections, which is probably related to not detecting the creation of the ofono's ConnectionManager interface.
As I usually have two SIMs around, this is maybe easier for me to reproduce. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1349273 Title: NM does not retry opening mobile data on reboot Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: In case NM has failed to open any mobile data context, it will not re- try when rebooting the phone. This happened with a pre-paid SIM with no credit: opening a data context for it obviously failed. After adding credit to the SIM, I followed the instructions from the operator to reboot the phone to get data. However, after rebooting I had no mobile data. Taking a look to system settings, cellular data was set to "Off" and I was able to revert the situation marking the "2G/3G/4G" option. Make NM retry the list of contexts in case no context was ever active on previous boot would make life easier for the user.
