HUAWEI DATACARD connection problems on Ubuntu 12.04

Are you facing this problem? Well, I face it a lot.

But let me tell you clearly, this article is only targeted to solve the connection problem. It means it is properly installed and getting mounted.
So I tried to solve this problem by a very simple method. I don't know how many of you have also used this datacard on Windows platform but there if it gets disconnected, there is an option of "Redial". As there is no proper user interface on Linux, so this "Redial" option is not available.

Though, you can always try :)

In my title bar, there is a network manager sign, through which we manage connections.

Step I: As soon as we insert the datacard, an option shows up in the network manager - Enable Mobile broadband. You need to check it.

Step II: Your network name(SIM name) is showing in the manager, click on it.

Step III: Keep repeating these steps until it gets connected. Have patience, it will get connected. Its the "Redial" :)

P.S : At step III, if you fail, then its important to first - un-check Enable Mobile broadband and then recheck it again. UN-checking is important i.e

Disable -> Re-enable -> Click on Your network name -> Wait for it(then try again)

error: stray '\' in program

 stray.c:6: error: stray '\315' in program   stray.c:7: error: stray '\242' in program   stray.c:8: error: stray '\234' in program  If you are getting error messages like above in your C/C++ program, then don't worry. ;-) Perhaps you have copied the code from somewhere. If your code is small ,then the simplest solution is that you should start typing it from zero. That is , delete all the code ( the lines you know you have copied) and re-type it. If your code is lengthy and you do not want to type it, then you should use this software : Hex Editor Wiki You may be wondering that why this problem even occurred. The reason for this is that your code might contain some hidden octal (not-readable) characters which the compiler cant understand and you can not see. They are present in your code because you have perhaps copied it from somewhere. So, simply you can retype the same code to solve the problem. ----- Happy Coding :-)

error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘struct ’

list.c:47:39: error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘struct Litsnode’ So, I was trying to run a program based on linked list and this is what I got. This is a very silly problem. I am mentioning it here just to help those who got frustrated like me :-\ Let me show you the line where this error occurred : 46   struct Listnode * newnode; 47   newnode = (struct Listnode *) malloc(sizeof(struct Litsnode)); Now, View it properly. Check the name(spelling) of the structure mentioned to sizeof : " struct Li ts node ". Though the defined name of the structure was : " struct Listnode " That's it.  This happens all the time that we may type something wrong. The important thing is to identify it. :-) Feel free to give any suggestions :)

ssh: Could not resolve hostname git: No address associated with hostname

I came across this error when I needed to clone a git repo. I tried few times but I couldn't get it working. There were few suggestions on the internet, but none resolved my issue. So, lets get to the point, this issue may occur due to following reasons: 1. If you are using proxy to access git and it is not properly configured/proxy is not allowing you access git due to permission issues. More here: git-clone-no-address-associated-with-name getting-git-to-work-with-a-proxy-server 2. This happens due to a silly mistake. [I do make silly mistakes sometimes] Are you actually using git clone for cloning? I used this - ssh git@github.com:neovim/neovim.git instead of git clone git@github.com:neovim/neovim.git ----- Hope this have resolved your issue :-) Happy Coding.
