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).
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.
I just installed 9.10 and this is my first time using Ubuntu. I was using Kubuntu before and used KPPP with my Verizon USB720 wireless card. It's the type that gets internet access through the cell towers.I installed KPPP but when I try to start it I get this error:
Quote:
Could not launch KPPP Failed to execute child process (permission denied)
I tried Gnome PPP and it would open but not connect. This is what is in my log files"

--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem.

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?
Trying to connect a computer to the internet with a modem, and I know the modem works. Was just used the other day with another linux OS.If I go into the Kinfocenter and look under pci devices with the current F12 setup, the computer identifies a 3com corp modem division 56k faxmodem model 5610.(which is a hardware modem)
kppp frozen in initializing modem.I wait for many second but no dialup, in configure panel set /dev/modem on modem , Query properly working , but when connect , in initializing modem kppp stoped.
I am using kppp in ubuntu10.10 to connect via my samsung c3010 mobile and Airtel connection. But when I dial through it, it terminates on signal 15! Some requests are rejected it seems. I am pasting the log:
Dec 14 20:08:02 pratik pppd[1883]: pppd 2.4.5 started by pratik, uid 1000 Dec 14 20:08:02 pratik pppd[1883]: using channel 5 Dec 14 20:08:02 pratik pppd[1883]: Using interface ppp0 Dec 14 20:08:02 pratik pppd[1883]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyACM0
[Code]....
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.
I migrated from 11.0 to a new install of 11.3. 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.
I have a Novatel 760 broadband USB device and I use kppp to connect though it is extremely slow (ping takes 100ms). What I need is a way to make kppp connect on reboot without any interaction from the user. I have looked on the Internet, but I did not find anything useful. I am using kppp because I could not get gnome-ppp to connect and it does not seem to have the features of kppp.
i have been able to get on line running other linux os using the terminal first i type sudo modprobe -r usbserial & enter followed by sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1199 product=0x120 & enter the last command is sudo dmesg|grep -i ttyusb. I have done this for years and it always has got me on line after the above i open kppp and select for modem /dev/ttyusb0 and click to verify kppp recognizes my sierra wireless usb modem and that is all i have ever had to do, plug in the usb modem type the three commands it comes back with confirmation the modem is attached to ttyusb0, ttyusb1 & ttyusb2 in kppp i click /dev/ttyusb0 and click quarry and get on line with suse11.1 it is not so the first command sudo modprobe -r usbserial comes back with a fatal error but the second and third command give me the same results saying i have attached the usbmodem to ttyusb0,1 & 2. but i cannot configure it in kppp.
i have tried researching on line but cannot find a similar thread. I believe the way i described above has worked on lindows 5.0, and it is how i do it with Mint which i can get on line with today. so i hope one of the wonderful millions of linux users will direct me as to what i am doing wrong. i am running amd 785 4 gb ram msi mainboard ms-7549 my modem is sierra wierless modem 595u (vendor=0x1199 product=0x120) connecting through Sprint pcs which requires no user name or password.
I 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?
After running a dist-upgrade (from stable to testing) KDE stopped working, all I get (after login in with lightdm) are the modals you can see in the attachments [1]. I do not think it is an X issue, because I can login using lightdm (and MATE is working fine).
I suspect this is because I had KDE installed before running the upgrade. The things I tried so far are:
- Runing "apt-get remove kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data" . Then "apt-get autoremove". I did it to remove every KDE related package, after that, I ran "aptitude purge '~c' " to clean all config files. And finally "apt-get install kde-standard" to get KDE again. - Removed .cache, .config and .kde folders. Also removed .lock files in .config folder, as I saw somewhere. - Looked for some log files, but I could not find anything (I don't even know where to look really )
This is almost a fresh debian install so I don't mind breaking things, but I would like to get KDE working.
I installed SuSE 11.1 again because of the higher resolution. Installed manually the latest Adobe Flashplayer and all worked well. Now I installed Firefox 3.6 and it also works well except for the flashplayer. I cannot reinstall the player because it is already installed.
epositories/Virtualization:/VirtualBox_backports/openSUSE_11.4_Update_standard repo the usb support was working but after the upgrade it is not working any more, note that I removed the old version of the extension pack to install the new one "VirtualBox 4.1.2 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack"
On my desktop PC I have openSUSE 11.2 installed but this os as screwed up. For example: the mouse's left button not reacting at all not in GNOME nor KDE. So I fought to upgrade to 11.3 but my question is how can I do it without losing my data and settings. I have there a TexLive working environment and I don't sure I will able to do it again on new installation.
I have 7.04 edubuntu from our government as I am a teacher and I got laptop. So I am asking can I upgrade to 7.10 or some newer version?? If not at all, why is not working the repo sites, I mean I don't get why is not working the upgrade manager.
I try to run sudo apt-get update. It doesn't seem to work. I get a lot of 404 errors, and files that can't be found. This is what came from the terminal:
After apt-get upgrade on Karmic, I'm having trouble with name resolution. Main problem now is that the 'order hosts, bind' directive in /etc/host.conf is not respected. A side symptom is this error code...
I've just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and I cannot connect to my university's VPN now. The error says "Connection attempt timed out". Hopefully the following log might be useful in solving this.
I've searched but cannot find anything useful. I've re-entered the details to make sure they're correct, reinstalled the pptp package.

I'm not entirely sure this is the proper place for it, but aee doesn't work anymore after upgrading to 10.10. In both gnome terminal & konsole it says "sorry, unable to use this terminal type for screen editing" and exits. It does this remotely even through ssh sessions.
I know aee isn't exactly a new program or anything but what gives? It's a terminal window, how could a console based text editor go wrong.
I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and empathy has stopped working for me. Gives following error message from terminal
Code:
empathy: /usr/local/lib/libtelepathy-glib.so.0: version `TELEPATHY_GLIB_0.13.11' not found (required by empathy) Empathy version is 2.34.0-0ubuntu3 and libtelepathy-glib0 version is 0.14.3-1ubuntu1
I had Ubuntu 10.10 installed on my main computer. Having been trying out 11.04 for quite awhile, I decided to install it on my main computer after it was officially released. I did this via an upgrade. Problem is now that I'm not getting any options for unity 3D. On the log on screen i have an option for unity 2D and unity, however both are unity 2D. My computer has a built in graphics card, nothing amazing, but i have happily used compiz effects on it previous to this.
My graphics card is up to it so why is the unity session falling back to unity 2D? Another problem that I'm having is that i cannot get the launcher in unity 2D to move out of the way. I even installed a programme called 2D Desktop Setting to try to fix this problem but selecting the various options to show, hide, autohide, etc have no effect at all and it's really frustrating having the launcher covering up the left side of my screen.
I've been having a problem with Deluge ever since upgrading to Natty. The problem is, it doesn't open anymore. I have the deluge-team ppa's set up and I tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling the program, but this did nothing. When I try running Deluge via the terminal using "deluge-gtk", I get this error:
A few weeks ago I upgraded one of my laptop from Fedora 13 to Fedora 14 (using pre-upgrade). The upgrade went smoothly and no errors appeared. However ever since the upgrade ssh is not working anymore. I've tried various servers inside and outside the local network. I can't contact any of them. In all cases I get:
Code: ssh: connect to host aaa.bbb.ccc port 22: Connection timed out I've tried to get more info using the -vvv option form ssh, but it doesn't mean too much to me:
Code: OpenSSH_5.5p1, OpenSSL 1.0.0d-fips 8 Feb 2011 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to aaa.bbb.ccc [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] port 22. debug1: connect to address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: Connection timed out ssh: connect to host aaa.bbb.ccc port 22: Connection timed out
Actions so far: - checked internet connection. No problem there. Another laptop is working fine using the same connection and the same ethernet cable. That laptop is still using Fedora 13, since I didn't want to get stuck without ssh completely. - checked "messages" log. No messages at the time of ssh connect attempt. - checked "secure" log. No messages at the time of ssh connect attempt. - checked the firewall settings. The settings are exactly the same as before the upgrade (when ssh was still working). Moreover, the settings are the same as the other laptop that is working. - temporarily switched off the firewall. No difference. - temporarily switched off selinux. No difference.
So it doesn't seem to be a firewall or selinux problem. And I know the connection is working, so it does not seem to be a routing problem either. What am I missing here?
System specs: - Asus EEE PC (1 GB RAM, intel atom processor); - Fully up-to-date Fedora 14 (kernel 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.i686)
thunderbird not working after upgrade I finally got around to doing some more testing after I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.x to 10.x and now Thunderbird wont work right. It wont let me see the messages correctly. its slow and takes forever to load. I cannot read mail or switch between accounts easily any more. Do i need to remove it and reload? Will I lose all my email and my account settings?
i have Dell 1535. I installed Kubuntu 11.04 on it, now wifi is not working at all. Here is the output of some command i saw already in previous post related to this problem.
