Jza Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 So I got wvdial package after a while and use kppp to connect to the internet however I have some issues with X and I loose my connection everytime it crashes. My question is if I can use wvdial to connect and how? When I try to use wvdial from the terminal I get wvdialconf and it goes to locate the modem, it does locate it but it can't get to configure it. So my issue has to do with how to configure my modem with wvdial . The output it generates is something like this: Scanning your serial ports for a modem. Port Scan<*1>: Scanning ttyLT0 first, /dev/modem is a link to it. ttyLT0<Info>: Device or resource busy Port Scan<*1>: LT0 ttyS0<Info>: Device or resource busy Port Scan<*1>: S0 ttyS1<Info>: Device or resource busy Port Scan<*1>: S1 ttyS2<Info>: Device or resource busy Port Scan<*1>: S2 ttyS3<Info>: Device or resource busy Port Scan<*1>: S3 ttyS4<Info>: Device or resource busy Port Scan<*1>: S4 ttyS5<Info>: Device or resource busy Port Scan<*1>: S5 ttyS6<Info>: Device or resource busy Port Scan<*1>: S6 ttyS7<Info>: Device or resource busy Port Scan<*1>: S7 ttySLT0<Info>: Device or resource busy Port Scan<*1>: SLT0 Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program? Did you configure it properly with setserial? Please read the FAQ at http://open.nit.ca/wvdial/ If you still have problems, send mail to wvdial-list@lists.nit.ca. Kppp is NOT running and the modem is 'available' it is indeed in ttyLT0 acording to the module and the modprobe conf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubb Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 A simpler solution. I dont' have kppp installed right now, but I used to use it when I was on dial-up. There is checkbox somewhere in the options for kppp that says disconnect on Xserver shutdown. If you simply uncheck that box, kppp will stay connected.

Jza Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 A thanks, I got it to work actually (wvdial) but I didn't know that about kppp. Another question, sometiems the modem don't free itself (it has itself busy). On Kppp I ust go to open a terminal and one of the menu actions is reset modem. I wonder if there is the command line method to do this. Regards.

bvc Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 (edited) kppp can also be run from cli ...SEE in a terminal kppp --help stop wvdial with Ctrl+C or killall pppd or /etc/init.d/ppp stop https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=2333&hl=wvdial https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=3300&hl=wvdial gnomeppp is a gui frontend to wvdial http://gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=41 urpmi gnome-ppp should grab it for you. I d/k if it's on the cd's but it is on some mirrors. http://www.davidpashley.com/tutorials/wvdial-pppd-dod.html Edited May 9, 2005 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
