Re: nm-vpn over ppp?
ah ok. I found my ppp0 in the network-settings and configured it. how can I tell it to dial? my ppp is in case of not in office and it is over my handy (appears as a usb-modem /dev/ttyACM0). regards chris Dan Williams wrote: On Wed, 2009-06-03 at 19:37 +0200, z...@gmx.at wrote: hi!

Right, you're not letting NM handle the primary network connection. What type of connection is it, 3G, or old 56k dialup?

Re: debug tips
Aaron Konstam a écrit : startx starts a normal r5 session but runlevel claims that the system is still at rl3. Which seems strange to me. startx knows nothing about runlevels, it could not care less, that is why the system _is_ still at runlevel 3. Changing the runlevel starts and stops services but manually starting services does not change the runlevel. You should really do some reading on runlevels and init. Startx is not even a regular service. It is only a hack to start X. ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Which seems strange to me. I think you're misunderstanding what runlevels are - the fact is, they're nothing more than instructions to init, telling it to run a bunch of shell scripts to start and stop programs. That runlevel 5 happens to start an X server and 3 doesn't is purely a matter of convention - if you really wanted to be contrary, you could have 6 start an X server, and 5 reboot the machine.

If it's a 3G/mobile broadband connection, it needs to be recognized by NM. In NM 0.7, that should already work. What exact model of phone is your handy? You can add a GSM connection in the connection editor, and then things should work as normal. The phone will show up in the menu, and you can select it and NM will connect.
