Bug#618637: kppp does not work after upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze
I have what appears to be the same problem. To shed some light on it, I traced
system
calls made by kppp to find out what arguments it passes to pppd, as follows:
su -p
strace -u -f -s 100 -e trace=fork,vfork,execve 2>&1 kppp
(The -u flag in the strace man page explains why it is necessary in this case
to run
strace with root privileges, using the -u flag to pass in your ordinary
username (under
which you would normally be running kppp.))
The following excerpt from the output of this strace command shows pppd being
called:
...
Opener: received OpenDevice
Opener: received ExecPPPDaemon
Process 2097 attached
In parent: pppd pid 2097
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Kernel supports ppp alright.
[pid 2097] execve("/usr/sbin/pppd", ["pppd", "115200", "-detach",
"crtscts",
"defaultroute", "usepeerdns", "user", "bwhitehe"], [/* 0 vars */]) = 0
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to
do so.
pppd: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.) Process
2097
detached
[pid 2094] --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
It was pppd that died
pppd exited with return value 1
...
Based on the mention of /etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options at the beginning of the
original bug
report (and on my experience with older versions of kppp) I was expecting an
argument
like
call kppp-options
to show up in the argument list passed to pppd, but it's not there. It seems
to me that
the absence of "call kppp-options" or anything like that in pppd's arguments
might
explain why pppd doesn't see Mark's "noauth" option in
/etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options, and
thus why you get "pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
..." in the
original bug report
This suggests the following workaround, which gets kppp functioning for me.
(Mark, I
guess you've already done step 1, but I'm including it below because
/etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options was not present in my fresh install of squeeze.)
WORKAROUND
(1) as root, create (or edit) the file /etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options so that it
has one
line containing the uncommented word
noauth
(2) In the "Accounts" tab of kppp configuration, edit your account as follows:
In the
"Dial" tab, near the bottom of the window, select "Customize pppd arguments"
and add the
following argument:
call kppp-options
(3) Run kppp in a terminal window (as in the original bug report)
---
After doing this, my output from step 3 is:
~$ kppp
Opener: received SetSecret
Opener: received SetSecret
Opener: received OpenLock
Opener: received OpenDevice
Opener: received ExecPPPDaemon
In parent: pppd pid 2192
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Kernel supports ppp alright.
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Opener: received OpenResolv
Opener: received RemoveSecret
Opener: received RemoveSecret
but in spite of these remaining complaints, the ppp0 interface appears to be
running OK
based on the output of ifconfig ppp0 and on apparently normal network
functioning of my
ssh client and my web browser.

[ITR] templates://phonon/{phonon-backend-null.templates}
Dear Debian maintainer, The Debian internationalisation team and the Debian English localisation team will soon begin the review of the debconf templates used in phonon. This review takes place for all packages that use debconf to interact with users and its aims are: - to improve the use of English in all debconf templates; - to make the wording of debconf templates more consistent; - to encourage more translations of templates. Even if your first language is English, this process is likely to help track down typos or errors, and improve consistency between the debconf templates of your package and that of other packages in the distribution. The process involves both debian-l10n-english contributors and Debian translators. The details of the process are given in http://wiki.debian.org/I18n/SmithDebconfReviewProcess. I will act as the coordinator of this activity for phonon. The first step of the process is to review the debconf source template file(s) of phonon. This review will start on Monday, March 21, 2011, or as soon as you acknowledge this mail with an agreement for us to carry out this process. All parts of the process will be carried out in close collaboration with you, and, unless you explicitely ask for it, no upload nor NMU will happen for phonon. If you approve this process, please let us know by replying to this mail. If some work in progress on your side would conflict with such a rewrite (such as adding or removing debconf templates), please say so, and we will defer the review to later in the development cycle. Thank you for your attention. -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature
