  • v-mobile-broadband has been removed from 14.04. It is the reason. Try with the Launchpad repository given you earlier.

    Visit This for installing such app. Alternatively install modem-manager-gui by apt-link

V Mobile Broadband is not in default Ubuntu Software Center repositary currenlty. You will have to install it from PPA. To add the PPA, run next commands in console:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:crass/v-mobile-broadband
sudo apt-get update

then run 

sudo apt-get install v-mobile-broadband

or open your link above with software-center from /usr/bin/.

  • it must be here http://ppa.launchpad.net/crass/v-mobile-broadband/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/binary-amd64/Packages not in http://ppa.launchpad.net/crass/v-mobile-broadband/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages so it is trusty not saucy, thinking how add/fix it.
