Pierre Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Struggeling with this one. Mandrake ver 9.1 kernel 2.4.21-0.13 Found the RPM's for the modem: ltmodem-kv_2.4.21_0.13mdk-8.26a9-1.i586.rpm and ltmodem-kv_2.4.21_0.13mdk-8.26a6-1.i586.rpm Have tried both, don't know which one woks. RPM installs to /dev/tts/LT0 not to /dev/ttyLT0 as I read Daniel Rees at http://users.ox.ac.uk/~mert1313/ltmodem.html Changed link /dev/modem now pointing to /dev/tts/LT0 Set up PPP and try to connect, nothing happens. In Mandrake 8.1 I could query modem, can't find similar control in version 9.1 Appreciate any help with this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 I know that the network wizard in MCC has an option for Winmodems, just try running the wizard and see what happens. Who knows? it might work? James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Posted August 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Realize now that I don't have the "Internet" icon pointing to kppp. Was never there after installation. How can I recover it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 just right click on the desktop, choose new launcher, put kppp as the program to run, put whatever name you want, choose an icon, and there you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Posted August 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 When I right click can not find "New Launcher" Find "Creat new/Link to Application" but can't find kppp in the list of applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Posted August 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Finally got it to work. KPPP was not installed during original installation. When I try to install kdenetwork-kppp-3.1-31mdk.i586.rpm directly from CD3 and asked for dependency files ppp-2.4.1-9mdk.i586.rpm libpcap0-0.7.2-1mdk.i586.rpm liblinux-atm1-2.4.0-2mdk.i586.rpm from CD1 I get message the files are missing. When I later check the CD the files are there, don't know why they can't be found! Anyways, download all new files for KPPP from the web and install successfully. Now I have KPPP and after setting it up and quering the modem I successfully connect!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Sounds like you didn't do the Mandrake updates for the installer and urpmi ?? You might wanna do em anyway else your rpm DB is screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Sounds like you didn't do the Mandrake updates for the installer and urpmi ?? You might wanna do em anyway else your rpm DB is screwed. I stuffed my RPM DB once. Now that was annoying!! ihad to reinstall. I couldn't install any software otherwise :shock: James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Posted August 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Can't see why I have to do an update to include a standard item like KPPP in my setup. The later failure of a manual installation of KPPP confirms the fact that there is something wrong with the CD. Why else would I have to find replacement files to complete the installation? Despite this fact the md5sum check on the ISO says its OK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
