In case you haven't already found it the fix is here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus-property-service/+bug/1427697
Instructions from that link...
Prerequisites for your phone:
Turn on developer mode: "System settings" | "About this phone" | "Developer mode"
Make the OS image writable by entering on external computer connected via USB:
phablet-config writable-image
Make sure that WLAN is turned off.
Steps for fixing tethering (only needed once; repeat after a phone update)
unplug the USB cable (on phone side suffices);
2015-10-15: it seems to have changed now: you must be connected already
correct in /usr/bin/tethering
:
rndis0
should be usb0
enable rndis:
sudo android-gadget-service enable rndis
enable tethering:
sudo tethering enable
Note: this might print an error, which can be ignored.
If not done before, plug in the USB cable and the computer connects to the internet using a new wired connection.
Instead of steps 2.-4., you can use a script named fix-tethering
on your phone:
sh fix-tethering
The file fix-tethering should contain the following 4 lines:
#!
sudo sed -i -e 's/rndis0/usb0/g' /usr/bin/tethering
sudo android-gadget-service enable rndis
sudo tethering enable
