Re: kppp dialing process hang up on 'starting pppd'. (was: bug in ppp - grave)
Hi Scott, of course, this shall not change to my problem. As you suggest, I will change from umtsmon to kppp and see, if this will work with latest ppp. If it doesn't, I will be pleased to help as well as I can. And sorry for my statements, I just wanted to explain, why I stated ppp to be buggy. Hope, the operators problem will be soon to be fixed.

Well - that's your opinion (and surely you are entitled to it) :-) It's why I/we stopped using UMTSmon and moved to Kppp. Works for us as *we* want the fixes from the updated pppd.

I understand your reasoning (I believe it's flawed) - meanwhile the rest of the world, including users of the identical modem, are connecting without problem.

Re: kppp dialing process hang up on 'starting pppd'. (was: bug in ppp - grave)
Hi Scott, you are right, I mentioned umtsmon. But the problem was not beeing umtsmon updated, but ppp updated. Umtsmon is just a GUI to call ppp with additional parameters, nothing else. So the problem was IMO in ppp, as the only thing, which was changed, was the ppp binary, NOT umtsmon. I tried to explain that to the maintainers, but they seemed not to understand. So, kppp is just another GUI for ppp, which is just doing the same - calling ppp with additional options. BTW, I tried several other GUIs for ppp (also the one from Vodafone, the result was NONE of them worked with ppp from testing or unstable. Reverting back to the old one, ALL of them worked. So IMO it is a fault and a bug in ppp, nothing else. But I do not want to quarrel, so I found my solution in using the old stuff and setting it to hold. Some day another people may havbe the same problem with ppp and may explain better than me. No problem, I can wait. Maybe you now understand, why I pointed to ppp itself.

Your log indicates a problem with *UMTSmon* - not *ppp(d)*. The OP is posting about a problem with Kppp - (your logs don't indicate problem with Kppp *either*.) Please start a new thread if you'd like to solve your, unrelated, problem. Suggestions below (Hans):- Network manager seems to interfere with other programs like Kppp and UMTSmon broken... try not to install it when you plan on using another management tool.

I've seen this in two situations:- ; older kernel loading uhci and ehci in the wrong sequence - temporarily solved by unloading those modules and reloading in various orders until fixed. Permanently fixed by upgrading to the latest kernel for the Debian release ; legacy USB device support turned on in (some) BIOS. It appears that a (your 3G device) USB device is being reset... Try plugging in your device, waiting until "dmesg | tail" shows the modem has been detected and the /dev/ttyUSB* nodes have been corrected - then:- # cat /dev/ttyUSB0 You should get some chatter about signal quality etc - it you get "device not found" (or similar - I'm going from memory) then the problem is the usb module being unloaded (conflicting modules).

Using kppp with pon/poff? or alternate ppp status/monitor?
Hi, I have ppp configured just fine with pon/poff so I would like to keep using that sub-system as all the configuration files are working. I would like to have some graphical way that could start ppp via an applet and then display status (graph of incoming/outgoing data and statistics either on the status bar or a small window). I used to have something like that in woody, but it's either gone from etch or I can't find it. Kppp is totally automated as far as setup but I only want to use the graphical/applet part. Is there a way to make it call "pon xxx" and "poff" to directly control ppp? I've read the kppp manual from top to bottom and found nothing that would indicate that this is possible. If this can't be done, is there something in etch that would provide a visual graphical representation of the ppp connection? Yes, I'm aware of pppstatus and pppstats; I don't want a text app as my kterms are large and I want a small applet or window. Any hints out there? Thanks.

It was the reason I moved from Mandrake to Debian, as I was trying to connect through a USB to RS232 cable to my external Maestro modem. Kppp did work all right with the same modem using a normal cable between it and the computer. But even though kppp recognised the modem going through the USB to RS232 cable, it wouldn't connect. Kppp also wouldn't connect at all well or every time using a PCMCIA modem at the time. Moving to Debian and using pon, changed all that. Pon worked a treat every time without fault with any of the above hardware. So have a try with pon I reckon, and see how you go. I'm not certain I ever had to log out and back in after setting up pon. But it sounds like others have needed to do this. Even do a hard reboot just to make certain if it doesn't work with log in and log out. Use pppconfig to make it easier. HTH Charlie -- Registered Linux User:- 329524 +++ What need have I of gold?

adsl modem setup using kppp
Hello all I have setup etch for my brother who is (as well as pretty thick) an ex windows user. The problem I am having is that he is so used to gui's that I cannot find the a satisfactory way of connecting to the net. He has a usb adsl sagem 800 fast modem. I have downloaded the firmware and that gets loaded at boot time and then the modem connects to the internet, however they sometimes forget to connect the cable and then they are stuck. Its either a reboot or wait for ages for the boot process to continue. My brother even finds it impossible to just use the pon and poff command because the internet connection is a bit iffy at best and sometimes it disconnects regularly and the reconnection becomes unreliable. The easiest way I can think of is to use kppp (which he used to use with dialup) with the adsl modem, but I cannot get it to work. Does anybody out there know how to get kppp to work with an adsl modem. I am sure it must be possible but there seems to be a lack of docs for kppp so at the moment I am stuck and looking for help. A sample kpprc file would be most appreciated. Thanks In advance Daniel Harris

Re: Help logging onto ISP via KPPP
Hi (probably) Jeffrey! I've used recently diap-up to isp, so there is a chance to help you, if you say what the problem is. Some readings are necessary to understand deus ex machine behind the whole stuff. I would start at manual pages for pppd and chat. Then you could find out what to change in "ppp" directory. Find your isp dns addresses and put them into file resolv.conf. It is much easier to make all by the hand then use graphics and try to find appropriate form. At least, describe your box. What is the modem (serial, usb)? Do you have some prefixes to the number? Fine fiction for protocols has name "howto" or "rfc".

KPPP and PPP dial in SOLVED! ;-)
Dear all, A couple of months ago I was trying to help out my family with a linux box and dial in connection to there ISP. Via the mailing list a tried a number of scenario's also the very bad one's with setting SUID bits, using chown to set root permissions etc. By now I learned what not to do, and what to do! At the end everything turns out to be very easy: These where my issue's: Had to hash out auth in file/etc/ppp/options From here I got ip adress and connection. And had to enter name servers of isp provider: /etc/resolv.conf file Now we where able to use web browser to. That was all! Rest was done by pppconfig, except the 2 issue's mentioned.

Re: KPPP won't go on the internet
Hi Ludovic, After doing a couple of Debian and several Kubuntu installs, I've found it neccessary to do only two things (as well as I can recall) to get them to connect to a dial-up isp: 1. Create an empty 'resolv.conf' file in /etc/ppp, and 2. To edit the '/etc/ppp/options' file and change the 'auth' to 'noauth' (which resolved the problem you are having - for me). There are a couple of other files where you can add 'noauth' and also the kppp setup gui has a place for this as well, and I experimented with these, but none of them worked for me. I had to change everything back to default, and just make the two changes I listed above. I hope this helps.

KPPP won't go on the internet
Hello everyone, I'm wishing to report a problem with KPPP 2.2.0 (with KDE 3.3.2 under Debian GNU Linux 3.1 "Sarge", kernel 2.4.27) which I cannot use properly as a normal user. I managed to solve all other problems (I "come from" Knoppix 3.4 and I couldn't believe there was so much to configure under Debian just to get KPPP to show up to me as a normal user!) and now my last problem is: I just can't get onto the internet with KPPP. Even though I tried to copy as many settings from Knoppix 3.4 (which altogether worked) as possible to solve all other problems, I'm afraid with this last problem it was not enough - and I don't know what to do next. Here are the messages I get : from the connection window: (beginning) OK OK CONNECT 52000/ARQ/V90/LAPM/V42BIS (end) from the "Unexpected ending of pppd" window: Code de retour : 1 (it's French - I am French - it means "Return (or exit?) code") and here the actual content of the original logfile: (beginning) Dec 8 23:43:28 localhost pppd[1774]: The remote system is required to authenticate itself Dec 8 23:43:28 localhost pppd[1774]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so. Dec 8 23:43:28 localhost pppd[1774]: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.) (end) - And once I tried another setting (which I had in Knoppix 3.4): in "pppd (personalized) arguments": "noauth" (with KPPP set GID) I then got: from the connection window: (beginning) OK OK CONNECT 52000/ARQ/V90/LAPM/V42BIS (end) from the "Unexpected ending of pppd" window: Code de retour : 2 and as actual content of the original logfile: (beginning) Dec 1 23:12:37 localhost pppd[1760]: Exit. (end) And with a final setting still "pppd (personalized) arguments": "noauth" but with KPPP set UID (OK, that's the original Debian setting!) I get: from the connection window: (beginning) OK OK CONNECT 52000/ARQ/V90/LAPM/V42BIS (end) from the "Unexpected ending of pppd" window: Code de retour : 2 and as actual content of the original logfile: (beginning) Dec 9 00:19:22 localhost pppd[2282]: using the noauth option requires root privilege (end) --- This is the same problem with all of the five ISP's I've tried so far (and they all work under Knoppix) I hope you can make something out of that.

Another alternative is wvdial. I like it a little better.. to help debug your kppp issue, you might try running this command in a terminal prior to starting your KPPP.. tail -f syslog This will show you all the logged data from kppp. If not, then you can edit your kppp to log more data an dwhere you want it sent (I think) anyway... hope this helps... -- Cheers: Mike ..

These options have however have no influence on kppp, except you would configure it to use that preconfigured connection. Maybe you can do that by setting the custom pppd options to call provider but I don't know if that works.

Read the docs for PPP, last I knew in a file something like /etc/ppp/peers/provider-or-whatever-name-you-gave-it you set options such as username.

How do I authorize kppp? There's an answer for that, but you shouldn't use it to solve this problem. What you should do is add your regular user to the groups dip and dialout, login as your user and kppp should work as you wanted. The other answer is, X Window doesn't want anyone but the user who is logged in to use the X Window display. You can change that with "xhost" (ie., "xhost +localhost"), login as the previously denied root, "export DISPLAY=:0.0", then run the command that was previously denied. Note, read the manpage on xhost. What I said above opens up security for anyone on the box! Like I said, don't run as root. Don't stay logged into the root account any longer than you have to. With your privileged user added to the right groups, you shouldn't have to except for the things root really needs to be logged in for (installing, configuring, or deleting software, auditing system log files, cleaning up, performing system backups & restores, etc). -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

Problems with kppp/wvdial: not dialing
Hi. I'm running Debian unstable and I'm trying to use my external modem with kppp or wvdial, but I can't get it to work (I do it as root). If I start my laptop with a Knoppix CD then I can use kppp without problems (it's and older version). I've tried with wvdial and it happened the same as with kppp: it detects the modem, it appears the command of dialing but it hangs before starting. Sometimes it doesn't even appears that command, only random characters. I've tried to change some parameters with kppp, I've tried the same wvdial config file I used with knoppix and get the modem dialing (although it couldn't establish a connection after that), but I get nothing more that a "click" on the modem. A friend of mine is also having the same kind of problems, could you help me? I paste the text that appears when I run wvdial (and that is similar to the log of kppp) and my configfile.

Re: Kppp and ppp
Hello,
I had a similar-sounding problem just the other day, and Andreas'
suggestion worked splendidly to solve my problem. It is a
longstanding issue with kppp. The other thing you'll want to do is
check permissions - try running kppp as root ("kdesu kppp") to make
sure that's not the source of the problem. Otherwise, I added my user
to the "dip" and "dialout" groups, and that seemed to give it all the
power it needed.
Hope that helps,
Christopher Martin

Yes, it seems it's now setgid. When I last used it, I had to
resort to the setuid hack.
But I can't get it to work out of the box (or out of the package
;-). To be sure, I never bothered doing any root-level
configuration (inasmuch as I see the goal of Gnome and KDE to be
idiot friendliness). All I inputed are my login name and
password. kppp doesn't even get to the point where the modem
starts making its signature noise. I assume I have the right
permissions, since I can use minicom, efax and pon and friends
without any problems.
Are you sure you didn't modify anything under /etc/{ppp,chatscripts}?

Problems with KPPP
Hi! I'm trying to use my laptop with an external modem, but kppp doesn't work. I know the modem is OK, because I'm using it right now with my old computer. I'm running a Debian "mixed", mostly unestable (in case that info is useful) and on starting kppp the modem is recognized. The problem is that some times, when I open the register window, instead of reading the usual commands (ATZ, OK, dialing...) I read symbols like "@i" and the app seems to be hanged. Other times it starts OK but it seems to hang on "adjusting volume". When it seems that everything is OK (no starnge symbols and no volume adjusting) then it dials but then it hangs: "no dial tone". I know that there is, because just connecting in that moment the modem to my other computer everything is OK. Also, at the shell from where I start the app it appears the error "no able to open resolv.conf". I've copied that file from my old computer to the pppd directory in the laptop, but it doen seem to work. I've been takeing a look at the ppd directoy, and reading the kppp file, but I've run out of ideas. Any help? :) Thanks, Sara -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
X startup / KPPP / boot floppy
I've been using RH for a couple of years (RH5.2, 6.0, 7.2) and I thought I'd try Debian 3.0. I did a new install but ran into some weird behaviour (or at least, stuff I don't understand) so I'm back with RH for now.Sorry if some of my questions are a bit elementary. And any comparisons with Red Hat are *not* intended to imply that RH is better, just what I'm used to. When I first tried to launch X, it failed with various messages like 'no screens found' (exactly the same always seems to happen with RH). I eventually got this sorted in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 but it may have caused some X startup settings to get corrupted. Anwyay, next time I booted, it went straight into Gnome, it wouldn't let me log in as root, only as me, a user, and if logged out it presented the same login screen again. I couldn't even shut down. The only way I could get out of X was Alt-Ctrl-F1, then when I tried startx it logged me into KDE. So question 1, which file determines whether one gets a command-line or a X login on startup? And whether it invokes gnome or KDE? My strong preference is for a command-line login, and invoke Gnome on starting X. Next, kppp - it would dial my ISP, but then drop off the line with "Remote system is required to authenticate itself but couldn't find suitable secret (password) for it to do so (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address)". After reading the help files I put "noauth" in KPPP's setup 'customize pppd arguments' which seems to work. However, applications like Kmail and browsers are not communicating with kppp, not even if I'm logged in as root. I get no error messages that I can recall, just the modem lights do not show anything happening when I click on a URL or on Send / Get mail.Is this a permissions thing? (kppp works fine out of the box in Red Hat). Third, LILO doesn't work, I'm having to boot off a floppy (same goes for Red Hat). However, the Debian floppy takes forever to read and boot. Is this normal? (Red Hat is quite quick off a floppy). Eventually I'll try and sort LILO to work properly, but having a reasonable speed of floppy booting would help in the meantime. Please forgive me if these are elementary questions, if I can get some promising answers I'll try installing Debian again.

Pon works; KPPP doesn't
I suspect I need to feed the "noauth" option to KPPP, but it says this can only be done by root (whereas I could log in as root and verify this "noauth" issue to be the problem, that doesn't really solve the problem). How can I set this option, either globally for all users for all dial-up accounts, or how can I allow a user to set it on an account-by-account basis?

Each user has a kppprc file located in ~/.kde/share/config/kppprc. You will have to add the line "pppdArguments=noauth" to all the [Account "n"] sections. You can also do this through the kppp setup menu for each account. I believe there is a screen where you can add additional pppd arguments. Either way will work...you just have to experiment a bit and accept the trade-offs mentioned abouve. Personally, I always used the first method, as I had no need for a dial-in PPP service, and it was just a single edit. Others will disagree... YMMV.

Re: kppp password problem
check out your /etc/ppp/peers folder. I'm guessing you are using 2 different config files there, and the one being used by kppp does not have the "noauth" option, meaning that it is expecting the remote system (your ISP's remote access server) to authenticate itself with _your_ box, and that is not happening, hence the error: > "pppd[1072]: The remote system is required to authenticate itself > pppd[1072]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use > to do so. > pppd[1072]: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.)" I would either have kppp use the same peer file as pon (probably /etc/ppp/peer/provider) or else add a "noauth" directive to the file davidc On Mon, 2002-12-23 at 13:46, Aryan Ameri wrote: > Hi all: > Though I am able to connect dialup to my ISP using pon/poff , I am not able to > do so using kppp. Because kppp when connected to ISP gives me the followong > error: > > > well, the password is correct, because as I said, I am able to connect to the > ISP via pon/poff using the same password. > > Any ideas of why this is occuring? > > BTW, I am using KDE 3.1.0 RC5 on a mixture of sarge/sid > > cheers > Aryan > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

kppp password problem
Hi all: Though I am able to connect dialup to my ISP using pon/poff , I am not able to do so using kppp. Because kppp when connected to ISP gives me the followong error: "pppd[1072]: The remote system is required to authenticate itself pppd[1072]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so. pppd[1072]: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.)" well, the password is correct, because as I said, I am able to connect to the ISP via pon/poff using the same password. Any ideas of why this is occuring? BTW, I am using KDE 3.1.0 RC5 on a mixture of sarge/sid cheers Aryan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I suspect you have a NIC installed that has been configured previously with a "gateway" entry. If so, then it will NOT allow pppd to set a new "defaultroute" (or "gateway"). The first thing you should do is check your /etc/network/interfaces file and see if it has a "gateway" entry and remove it or comment it out. Second, I have found trying to run the "diald" program while you are still trying to get the basic connection going introduces a very large number of new variables into the equation. If you intend running diald, then you should probably dig into that documentation for more help. If you didn't even realize it was on your system, then I would just remove it and proceed on with getting kppp or wvdial running first. You can always re-install it and work on getting it going later AFTER you have a "working" PPP connection. Incidently, I have found the "demand" function of pppd works every bit as well, and is easier to set up, IMHO.

It won't. Not being familiar with kppp I am unable to point you to which tab you click on but you should be able to achieve what you want by editing /etc/ppp/peers/provider. You may have given your own name for `provider'. The option you want is noauth. Put this in the file. The default in /etc/ppp/options is auth but you do not want to alter this. Read man pppd and search the Debian mailing lists for more information. If you haven't already done so investigate using pppconfig as an alternative to kppp to set up a dialup connection. Personally, it is what I would use. Brian.
