10.1 dial issues

I finally got online, but now another issue has come up. Kppp says i'm

connected but I can't connect to any sites via opera or connect to anything

with the mandrake updates. Also, when i want to shutdown my machine,

there is no 'shutdown' option, just end session. How do i set up a 'shutdown

system'? Thanks again.

 

 

 

I just installed 10.1 and I am having dial up issues. Previously I have used 9.2

+ 10, and both were simple to get online with. I set up my new connection as before, but it refuses to connect. Here is what kpp's log file says:

 

Jan 6 00:29:38 localhost pppd[5631]: pppd 2.4.2 started by jason, uid 501

Jan 6 00:29:38 localhost pppd[5631]: Using interface ppp0

Jan 6 00:29:38 localhost pppd[5631]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1

Jan 6 00:30:08 localhost pppd[5631]: Terminating on signal 15.

Jan 6 00:30:14 localhost pppd[5631]: Connection terminated.

Jan 6 00:30:14 localhost pppd[5631]: Exit.

 

It will dial in fine then just sort of hang until this message shows up. Any advice

or direction is much appreciated!!

Terminating on signal 15 is, acoording to google, the hangup signal. Perhaps there is something in the config that tells kppp to hang-up?

 

End Session will log you out of X and brings you to the login manager (where you an choose what desktop you want to start). The login manager has a 'halt'(shutdown) button.

OK, I got it working, but its still a mystery to me. I had read online some

articles about 10.1 issues, such as konqueror not working and such, and

I had this problem as well. The articles recommended creating a new

user account, and this would sometimes take care of the problem. So, I

created a new user account, fired it up and now konqueror works, and

kppp works on the first time!! I would have liked to solve the problem,

but its good to be back online again.

 

Now for my last 10.1 issue, I still can't shutdown my machine properly.

When I go to shutdown, there is just an 'end session' option, no shutdown

or restart options. If i chose end session, it just brings me to a login

screen with no other options than to login. If I just hit the power button,

mandrake always says I have shutdown improperly. Any Ideas?
