Hi, I just got back from 2 weeks away to find that we're up to Knot 3 but this issue still isn't fixed -- is anybody listening or not? This bug is serious -- it prevents internet connection! -- Mike. -- [Edgy] pppoeconf prints useless error message, doesn't do anything

I notice that bug 60230 has been filed, which is really the same as this one, but the message gives more specific detail about the underlying cause. Therefore I won't touch the bug reports myself but just note this here for those following this one. -- Mike. -- [Edgy] pppoeconf prints

Hi again -- well I now find I CAN connect to the internet -- I was still getting the message I detailed on the 4th, but when I tried ping it worked, and going into Firefox and looking up a site it Just Worked. The only thing I did was sudo ifup eth0 so maybe that was the key to it. Firefox

I had a look at the script /usr/sbin/pppoeconf and the reason why it doesn't work is that the zenity support is broken (zenity is an app to show GUI dialogs). Commenting out lines 22,23,24 makes pppoeconf work again here. I suspect everyone here for whom this script fails has zenity installed. If

I see this is the same as bug # 54383, though I''m not getting the glibtop line in the message. So I withdraw this one and I'll follow the 54383 thread. Cheers, Mike. -- [edgy] Can't connect to ADSL modem on iMac G5 https://launchpad.net/bugs/58174 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list

I can now confirm Edgy knot-1 installation runs on my Rev-A. I still have to work out how to convince the partitioner to let me dual-boot, but that's another question! Cheers, Mike. -- iMac G5 will freeze after booting up https://launchpad.net/bugs/23445 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list

Thanks Dylan, Thanks -- my OSX partition is on # 5, but I'll keep that ready if I need it. Actually my main problem is that I haven't been able to set up yaboot yet -- for dual-boot I have to choose manual partitioning, but there doesn't seem to be an option to create an Apple_bootstrap

This looks like the same problem I'm getting, in trying to boot the CD 6.06.1 live image on my 1.6 GHz iMac G5. After the initial series of messages under the ubunto logo, the fans spool up, the screen goes black and everything freezes needing a hard reboot. I'm actually a bit astonished that
