Re: Hardy 8.04 modem concerns
Sadly, none of the suggestions offered have worked, and after a day discussing with Xtra, ( who continued with the party line) my client simply changed isp's end of issue. I can't help but wonder how long it will take for xtra to wake up, or how many customers they have to lose before they realise that many people do not need/require or want broadband. just my 70 year olds ramblings.

For reasons beyond my control a machine I occasionally use needed the facility to send email. Having gone down the sendmail/exim path in the past I was concerned about the work involved, but recalling discussions on this list decided to try nullmailer first. Two configuration items later (the first of which involves accepting the default) and I have working mail. Wanted to share a small success story. Cheers, Roy.

Being an obedient purist is seriously recommended. -- With Sincerity, Christopher Sawtell -L/usr/local/bin as an option to gcc did not change anything. I think that option only affects static linking -- it tells the linker where to look for libraries. Or perhaps where to find the stubs necessary to link a library dynamically. But it did not affect the loading at run-time. But I found two solutions: 1. ./configure --extra-ldflags=-Wl,-rpath/usr/local/bin stores that path in the executable to tell the program loader to also search /usr/local/bin for libraries. 2. ./configure --build-suffix=-ZZZ changes the names of the libraries to lib-avcodec-ZZZ.so.66.whatever. These names are stored in the executable, so they are found correctly. man ld gives the full search order for *linking*: * -rpath-link options * -rpath options * LD_RUN_PATH environment variable * On *SunOS*, directories specified using -L -- this is what Christopher Sawtell suggested, but does not work on Linux * LD_LIBRARY_PATH * DT_RUNPATH or DT_RPATH * default directories /lib and /usr/lib * directories in /etc/ld.so.conf man ld.so gives a different order for *loading*: * LD_LIBRARY_PATH * From the cache file /etc/ld.so.cache, created by ldconfig * /lib and /usr/lib But this does not describe what I actually saw happening, so I prefer the search order given in man ld. I think that the *linker* was finding the necessary library stubs in /usr/lib, so it never bothered to look in /usr/local/lib. Anyway, my version of ffmpeg with AMR support is now working...so I can once again convert videos from my phone to ... whatever ... they are still rubbish. I should probably make a .deb package so that I can install into /usr/bin and /usr/lib so that other applications get the newer version of ffmpeg and libav* ... but what will it break? Nothing, provided that the library authors have got their version numbering correct. Stephen Irons perhaps it would be easier to use the medibuntu repos. My ff,eg from medibuntu boasts: --enable-amr_nb --enable-amr_wb would that do the trick? Under Hardy, libav*-unstripped from medibuntu repository worked just fine. On the downgrade [1] to Intrepid, the version of ffmpeg in the medibuntu repository does not work with Intrepid: some other application (Totem? gstreamer?) insists on a newer version of one of the libav* packages. Medibuntu have not packaged the newer version for Intrepid. Instead there is a -unstripped version of ffmpeg etc. in Ubuntu multiverse but it does not have AMR enabled.

Make sure you have noauth un marked. eg config file blah lines of it finally #noauth ^remove this and put one on the auth line (if memory serves me right auth is set by default).

Re: Hardy 8.04 modem concerns
Hi Steve, Yes it is on ttys0, and I can hear the modem negotiate the connection. It then connects, and falls over at the exchange of user names and password. As this is a dual boot system, I know that the issue is not name/password, as they are the same for both systems, as is of course the isp phone numer. it seems to be something in the exchange of username or password that xtra is not acknowledging under hardy 8.04, but is under xp pro The ppp log reports "looks like a keyword", and then crash. times out or terminates I am no completely sure which. I will attach the tail of the ppp log to an email tomorrow and see if you can pick anything up. The machine is an IBM p4 for what that is worth, with an ibm motherboard. This modem I also use on my laptop as ttyUSB0 and I have used it on several ubuntu dual boot systems with out an issue. I tried wvdial, with the same result. All help gratefully received.
