sambo Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hey all. I've had a problem with KPPP recently (ever since linux crashed whilst trying to connect to the internet) and the error message when I try to start KPPP is: "KPPP can't read from /home/my username/.kde/share/apps/kppp/kppp.pid Does anyone else know how to fix this? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armondf Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 try removing the pid file. regards, armond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambo Posted July 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 I tryed to find the kppp.pid file, but couldn't find the directory it specified (is it hidden?) and also tried to search for the file itself which didn't result in any matches. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armondf Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 any directory prepended with a "." (period) is *hidden*. try doing the following: rm /home/your username/.kde/share/apps/kppp/kppp.pid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 (edited) Try creating that kppp.pid. I've never heard of it so I am not sure what it is supposed to do. Or if that doesnt' work, rename the kppp folder. When you run kppp again it should recreate the folder with the files meant to be there.

sambo Posted July 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Thanks for help folks! Found the problem. I was try to find the kppp configuration folder in konqueror (which didn't list it). Tried to find the directory in the konsole and found it. Deleted the kppp.pid file and it works just dandy. I'm guessing the directory is hidden or something.
