RE: [newbie] Gnome PPP doesn't work
I have the same problem. Mind you I have some weird experiences with my Mandrake. Some things are visible on my desktop only in Gnome and not in KDE and visa versa. It took me a whole evening to try and give myself permissions to MY DESKTOP and nothing worked! The next day I logged in and PRESTO I could do everything?? I must say I am enjoying learning my new OS but HELL, am I CONFUSED!!! Oren Tsur -Original Message- From: Douglas B. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 March 2003 19:23 To: Beginners' Mailing List Subject: [newbie] Gnome PPP doesn't work Hi all, Can you help? Gnome PPP establishes a PPP connection with the ISP but then fails to log me in and dies with ppd daemon died unexpectedly. KPPP on the other hand works fine,so where is the problem likely to be? Maybe I'm making the wrong settings - it's not clear to me how account options in KPPP translate to Gnome PPP ones. Is there anything else that might be at fault?

Oren Tsur RANTB Learning linux (and loving it) is rather like marriage; some days she lays rules on you - the next they change to a completely different set of rules that all apply to the same basic things. One day, things work like a charm, the next, nothing works at all. Some days everything's just smooth as silk, then WHAM - everythings like crawling on yer hands and knees through five miles of broken glass. You're never absolutely right, because there are so many other solutions and resolutions that you're only half right, half of the time. When you REALLY want to do something, it don't work, and you beg beg beg for it to work - and finally, you get five minutes of it working, then WHAM, back to the beginning again. /B/RANT -- Tue Mar 18 20:50:01 EST 2003 20:50:01 up 1 day, 2:04, 3 users, load average: 0.16, 0.16, 0.10 -- |____ | kuhn media australia| | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn| | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ || | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | |'. `\ | | |icq: 5483808 | | ;/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.---.| | mobile: 0410-728-389| | ' `-`' | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | -- linux user:267497 * MDK 9.1 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting machine no:194239 * RH 7.3 * Sales - Service - Support - Tutor -- ** This messages was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer ** enhance, v.: To tamper with an image, usually to its detriment.

[Sony laptop; dual boot XP/MD9.0; Winmodem works fine,thanks to invaluable advice and tips on the mailing list!] Thanks, Aside from the fact that Gnome-PPP sucks - is there a reason you REALLY want to use it if you already have a working KPPP? Gnome-PPP is rather lacking in it's usage/configurability - whereas KPPP is at least cultured enough to have more capabilities. Otherwise, it's really a time-out issue and an issue with script processing on the part of Gnome-PPP. -- Tue Mar 18 06:55:00 EST 2003 06:55:00 up 12:09, 3 users, load average: 0.17, 0.14, 0.08 -- |____ | kuhn media australia| | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn| | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ || | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | |'. `\ | | |icq: 5483808 | | ;/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.---.| | mobile: 0410-728-389| | ' `-`' | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | -- linux user:267497 * MDK 9.1 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting machine no:194239 * RH 7.3 * Sales - Service - Support - Tutor -- ** This messages was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer ** Most public domain software is free, at least at first glance.
