I'm looking for the idle setting in kppp, so that I can set a certain time for it to disconnect from the internet if the connection has been idle for some time (like 120 seconds). In doing a web search I found this forum posting that says that kppp has this setting somewhere, but I've looked, and I myself couldn't find it.
View 1 RepliesWhen I run top d 0.5 on my machine and I press 1 to enable the SMP View, I notice that all of the CPUs keep toggling between 100%idle and 0% idle.
The odd part is that when a CPU goes to 0.0% idle, I would expect to see one or more of the other columns peek, but they are not.
What is causing this?
Code:
I recently upgraded to Debian Squeeze (6) from Debian Lenny (5). kppp was working in Lenny, but does not work now. It connects to the modem, and dials, but it then gives an error 1 (pppd error that apparently means "An immediately fatal error of some kind occurred, such as an essential system call failing, or running out of virtual memory.") Often the program freezes, and I have to use xkill to get rid of it. I can connect to the internet using pon/poff (via a setup with pppconfig), but kppp does not work. I'm a member of both dialout and dip groups.The file /etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options is set to noauth (it's uncommented, and thus working).

After doing much searching and reading I figured out to open Gnome PPP from the terminal with sudo. When I do that it works fine. Also KPPP opens that way although I haven't tried it to see if it connects. Although this works it's not a very convenient way to connect. How can I get it to work without doing this?
Is anyone here using KDE4 and KPPP?
If so, how'd you get it to work?

I am connecting the modem over USB. The GUI shows me it is dialling the number, and then connecting to the network, and after a while ( it sends it 9 times it seems) it terminates.
A problem with kppp. It will not detect modem after a fresh install. It did last week before Ubuntu 11.04 turned up its toes, but when it worked it was weird. It found the usb modem on /dev/ACM0 as user but /dev/usb/ACM0 if logged in as root. Now it will not open modem at all. Gnome ppp has no problem and wvdial correctly identifies it.

Under 11.0 I was using Kinternet for a dialup connection through an external USB modem.Kinternet isn't available under 11.3, so I installed KPPP but haven't been able to get it to work. The modem and provider has been configured through YaST.At first with KPPP there was an error with permissions as a user. One old thread discussed how to fix this through chmod, which was successful for me.Now there is the error message 'Unable to create modem lock file'.Under configuration, use lock file is checked.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a desktop computer running Debian Lenny, a 56 K modem, and a dial-up account, currently configured like this: computer -> modem -> UPS -> phone jack
When I run off a Knoppix live CD, I can use kppp to configure pppd (using PAP/CHAP authentication and hardware control flow) to dialup and surf. When I try to user kppp to configure pppd exactly the same way on my hard drive installation, I get nothing. Both my Knoppix live CD and Debian Lenny use exactly the same version of kppp, but the pppd related files in /etc/ppp look a bit different.
Under both Knoppix and Debian Lenny hard drive installation, when I try to connect, the login debug window of kppp shows:
Code:
ATZ
OK
ATM1L1
OK
ATDT [phone number]
At this point I hear the modem dialing out, and when using Knoppix, after a few seconds I see
Code:
Which I think corresponds to my route to the InterNet being established through my ISP. When using the hard drive install, I never see the CONNECT, and all indications are that my modem is not sending authentication information at all, but getting stuck right after dialing out, so that my ISP gets a phone call from a modem which... refuses to speak. I never had any problems before, so I am baffled.
So apparently my system is currently misconfigured in some way which prevents point to point protocol from getting out.
Questions:
I have a firewall on my computer which I set up using guarddog. I have enabled point to point protocol from internet zone to local zone. I know that ppp is a symmetrical protocol, but my understanding is that I do not need to enable point to point from local to internet zone. I have not enabled irc protocol because my understanding is that this is only relevant to software flow control using chat scripts. Does this sound correct? Is there some additional protocol I need to allow in order to use pppd to dial out?
When I reboot my computer (off the hard drive) I sometimes see that the system complaining about a failure to stop every process, and sometimes I see mention of an eth0.pid. I have been looking for lock files; would they all be in /var/run?
When I use kppp to configure pppd, I want to do that as my ordinary user for at least two reasons, correct? don't want to run pppd as root user for security reasons kppp is a GUI and root user can't use X (on Debian)
So I should see in home directory of my ordinary user
.kde/share/config/kppprc
.kde/share/apps/kppp
But not in /root directory, correct? What pppd related processes should I see with ps -ef if everything is working?

I had noticed that my workstation (running debian testing) is having a constant load of about 0.9 (+/-0.1), even while the system is completly idle.The system starts with a normal load and then goes up to about 0.9 within a few minutes and then will stay there forever (well it can get higher, but never lower). This is the load graph after the system runs some time: URL....
I have tried everything I know to find the cultprint but there is no cpu usage and no io usage. I even have disabled the desktop and still have this problem.Also I have tried booting an older Kernel (4.1 and 3.16) with no difference in the load.Here is some information about my system:
Code: Select all» uname -a

I boot it and let him stay alone without even log-in,then thru my local LAN I access the server with SSH or FTP, everything just works fine,but if I just let the server idle for a while, I stop being able to login to the server again.I get no response, and when I go check it , monitor is black, like its sleeping,Then I just press a key on the keyboard, it wakes, and I can login from the server itself.so it does not crash.But login from another computer still doesn´t work,I have to reboot the Linux server to work, and all this idle thing starts over again.

how can i install python 3 and idle in fedora 12? yum search for any plausible variation on python3 (python-3, Python-3.1, etc.) that i could think of yields nothing, same in add/remove software. so i got the tarball from python.org and followed book instructions on it (summerfield's python 3, p. 4), namely unpack it, run './configure', run 'make' and finally run 'make install'
in my add/remove programs window, for idle, it says i have the one for python 2.6 installed, but i can't find where to open the program. but i'd like to use 3.1.2 python anyway. additional note: if i type python -V i get Python 2.6.x (can't remember the last digit, i think it's 2), and if i type python3 -V i get Python 3.1.2. so, how do i get python 3 installed and idle for python 3 running?
I have IDLE installed with the Python-tools package, but when I run IDLE in command line, it runs python 2.6...I have python 3 installed, I'm just wondering how to tell IDLE to run Python 3. The reason I ask is because, if I go through IDLE, file>Path Browser, I see a lot of Python 2.6 files...but no Python 3 files. When i run yum install Python3 -
[root@Homecomp Legio]# yum install python3
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Package python3-3.1.2-7.fc13.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
When I look for Python 3, I find it in /usr/bin/Python3, an executable file, along with 3.1, 2.6 and a link to executable 2. I have no files in /usr/local/bin. My question is...How do I tell IDLE to run Python 3 instead of 2? I just started using Fedora, so I don't have all the commands down yet. Have to say its a bit different than Windows...but in a good way so far.
Hello, I recently installed python-idle in order to have an IDE for python. However, I cannot find it anywhere in the menu, and also through the terminal it is not recognized. Does anyone know what I have to do?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a PC which I built ~3 years ago which had been running smoothly and silently until recently. Now, the CPU fan likes to spin up to 1200-1500 RPM even when it's idle, which is rather annoying. I have not made any recent changes (software-wise or hardware-wise) to it.
The specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte MA78GM-S2HP
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) Dual Core Processor 4850e
Case: Antec Minuet 350 MicroATX
OS: Ubuntu 10.04, Linux 2.6.38-10-generic
I installed the lm-sensors and hddtemp packages (via apt-get) and configured them. Here's a typical output at steady-state, where the computer's been idle for a while and the fans have been spinning for the same while:
$ sensors
k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp: +29.0°C
Core0 Temp: +32.0°C
Core1 Temp: +27.0°C
Core1 Temp: +22.0°C
it8718-isa-0228
Adapter: ISA adapter .....
$ sudo hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: WDC WD5000AACS-00ZUB0: 35°C
These all seem fairly normal to me, so I'm perplexed as to why the fan continues to run at such a high RPM. What does the ALARM that's reported for in6 mean? Is it important? I've been playing around with the fancontrol daemon, trying to see if I could get better results than with the default fan management. Using the pwmconfig utility, I generated the following /etc/fancontrol file:
# Configuration file generated by pwmconfig, changes will be lost
INTERVAL=10
DEVPATH=hwmon0=devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:18.3 hwmon1=devices/platform/it87.552
DEVNAME=hwmon0=k8temp hwmon1=it8718
FCTEMPS= hwmon1/device/pwm1=hwmon0/device/temp1_input
FCFANS= hwmon1/device/pwm1=hwmon1/device/fan1_input
MINTEMP= hwmon1/device/pwm1=35
MAXTEMP= hwmon1/device/pwm1=60
MINSTART= hwmon1/device/pwm1=180
MINSTOP= hwmon1/device/pwm1=100
This only sort of works—as soon as I enable the fancontrol daemon, the fan shuts off at first (good), but the temperatures of the 7 different sensors slowly rise, even when everything is idle. Eventually, when the Core0 Temp sensors goes past 35°, the fan comes back on, and then it alternates from being on and off at around 500-700 RPM, as the temperature goes back and forth across the boundary. It's certainly much more pleasant than 1200-1500 RPM, but it's still far from desirable.
Here's an example of the sensors output in that situation:
$ sensors
k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp: +36.0°C
Core0 Temp: +38.0°C
Core1 Temp: +34.0°C
Core1 Temp: +30.0°C
it8718-isa-0228
Adapter: ISA adapter .....
cpu0_vid: +1.100 V
I opened up the case, and the CPU heat sink felt warm but not excessively hot. I tried taking off the heat sink, cleaning off the thermal paste, putting on new thermal paste, and putting the heat sink back on, but that didn't seem to have much of an effect, if any. The two other heat sinks—one on the built-in AMD 780G graphics chipset and the other on the AMD SB700 southbridge—felt noticeably hotter than the CPU heat sink. So, my question is this: What should I do to get this computer back to the state where the fan is off when it's idle? Can I solve this with a smarter fancontrol configuration?
I cleaned out the heat sink and fan as best I could with compressed air (there wasn't a whole lot of dust, but I got rid of what I could), but still no dice. Rebooting into the BIOS configuration gives me the same results—the fan still runs at 1100-1200 RPM, and the system and CPU temperatures are reported as 40-44°C. Should I add another fan? The integrated GPU and the SB heatsinks felt significantly warmer to the tough than the CPU heatsink. The BIOS reports a system fan speed and NB fan speed of 0 rpm (since I don't have more than one fan).
I've had this bug on pretty much all Linux distro's I've tried in the last few months, but because I love Ubuntu and I can't seem to find this bug reproduced anywhere (though I'm not sure it's a bug worth reporting if it's just me) I decided to bring it here: Whenever a program that is not resource intensive (for example, Update Manager while it's downloading packages) is running for around 20 seconds, and I am not typing or moving my mouse, the system will hang. It will sit there for hours on end unless I move the mouse or hit a key.
Worse yet, it will hang on boot and shutdown too. I often have to hit a key to get the hard drive to start reading again and for anything else to happen for that matter. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 on a relatively new laptop, but like I said before, it's happened on a bunch of distros: Debian, openSUSE, Fedora... I just have no idea what could be causing it at this point.
I have a USB powered LED light attached to my pc. ( I keep my cave dark and this little light perfectly lights up my desktop and keyboard) I would like to be able to turn off the USB port the LED light is attached to when the PC goes to idle and dims my monitors and when the PC goes back to active I would like the LED light to come back on.
