Reset to default

seeing i can't delete this and i've found the answer:

Someone here suggested to update to the latest ModemManager like: Code:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common # contains add-apt-repository
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:aleksander-m/modemmanager-bionic
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install modemmanager libqmi-utils libmbim-utils policykit-1
sudo reboot

and it all started working. Must have been a a ModemHandler bug in the older verision of ModemManager that the base image of NVidia comes with.
