Recently I have tried to install my Grameenphone new 3G Modem in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I have tried again and again to install it, and at last I have become successful. Today I am writing this article to share the process. Let’s start.

(7) Now write the following command and press ENTER:

(8) Wait until it is finished and finally you will get your GP 3G Modem installed on your Ubuntu.

You gonna have problem in running Qt based apps like VLC Player, SM Player, Odesk Time Tracker after installing this modem, then you have to do some more work. Here is the solution brought by Minhazul Haq:

Hope now you will be able to run Qt based apps. I have tested it on 32-bit arch, Minhaz vai have tested it on his Kubuntu (64-bit). If you face any problem, just let me know. I will try to help you. Thanks!
