I am not new to linux. I have had a lot of difficulty setting up ppp in foresight. Several other distros work well at least with regards to ppp. I have an external multitech modem that is recognized located at /dev/ttyS0 (I 've tried every combination of permissions possible on that file) In foresight 0.9.4.pre.1 as well as 0.9.3 I cannot get a connection to/thru my isp. I have set up wvdial using the wvdialconf command. I've edited the wvdial.conf that's created by that command to include phone#, username, and password. As root I can dial out but do not get a connection. Firefox browser just states it can't find the server. I've looked at and disabled firewall. More importantly I've tried changing permissions on everything in /etc/ppp and checked the permissions on /usr/sbin/wvdial and /usr/sbin/pppd. After all that I still get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ wvdial copper.net --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.54.0 --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS0: Device or resource busy --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS0: Device or resource busy --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS0: Device or resource busy
I also found that in the 0.9.4pre release network-admin crashes when trying to save settings (see below) "The Application network-admin has quit unexpectedly" [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ network-admin ** CRITICAL **: gst_xml_element_destroy: assertion `node != NULL' failed aborting... Killed [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ If anyone has help on this I'm grateful because I'm at a dead end. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free X-Mail.net, Voice Calls (VoIP) and Messages, Messenger, http://www.x-mail.net SnoopBlocker Anonymous SSL Secure Web Surfing, http://www.snoopblocker.com Search Teradex Web Site Directory http://www.teradex.com _______________________________________________ Desktop-distro mailing list [email protected] http://lists.bizrace.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-distro
