nothing like that, i am able to run inet through gprs & normal dialup both without any problems in ubuntu 6.06 LTS

@DR RANJAN connect your phone properly, open terminal, type

Code:

sudo wvdialconf

& post the output here.

Desi-Tek.com · 21-10-2006, 03:46 PM

than u r lucky mate

when i created the tutorial on above linked thread at that time i was able to use net on ubuntu. but that also after lots of attempt. but later it stopped working than i did the search about it on ubuntu forum than i came to no about the bug in ubuntu. and when i raised this question in ubuntu irc channel. some ubuntu devloper told me that it is going to be fixed in next ubuntu release.

mehulved · 21-10-2006, 03:52 PM

In Dapper?
Maybe it's specific to some kind of hardware that you're using.
Can you be more specific on that bug. It may help somebody else.

The Outsider · 21-10-2006, 03:55 PM

wierd

, anyway DR RANJAN can atleast give it a shot

i am not the only 1 but lots of user r facing this problem and only on ubuntu. But wvdial works very smoothly on fedora4 and other distro.

The Outsider · 21-10-2006, 05:58 PM

that sounds allright mate but i know people from this forum who have dialup workin fine on ubuntu/xubuntu/kubuntu dapper, for eg: led_shankar.

the line dropping problem happened to me too, but it was solved as i left wvdial & connected through the gui interface i.e. the "networking" tool found in applications (assuming i have gnome)

& ofcourse i have a smartlink softmodem/winmodem.

Desi-Tek.com · 21-10-2006, 06:22 PM

even i also tried that but it didn't worked for me

i even tried kppd.
thats why i am now using fedora 4.

@Desi-Tek, The problem is that Ubuntu doesn't work very well with all hardware.
Dial-up works very well for me. So you shouldn't come to a conclusion that Ubuntu
doesn't support dial-up!! Yes, there are some bugs. Let's hope in future releases
of Ubuntu things are sorted out.

Desi-Tek.com · 22-10-2006, 02:21 AM

but it is able to detect my mobile, prolific chipset datacable. and i am able to connect gprs on ubuntu but it remains active only for 1-2minute than it get disconnected. so how can i say that it does not support my mobile or datacable or hardware?

praka123 · 22-10-2006, 03:46 PM

ur h/w are all detected yaar.u can verify it using "lspci" command its listing.they detected this as a bug too.then after this much time no fix?...
i tried dialup last on ubuntu hoary only and it worked perfectly.also not on a moby phone .but using a ISP+external dialup56kbps modem.
so i configure /etc/wvdial.conf using wvdialconf command and then set the connxn using pppconfig command and dialled either "wvdial" or "pon ppp0" for connxn had u tried this method?

Desi-Tek.com · 22-10-2006, 08:27 PM

may be thats why author of that thread on launchpad made this comment

Yup, this bug was reported against dapper. I don't have the time to play
anymore games with this. If the ubuntu developers don't care about the
quality of their work than neither do I. Dapper-deleted!

i may soon install redhat enterprise edition on my pc. as fedora 4 is not mounting ntfs drive i tried almost all the driver and fedora ppl told me to obtain fedora 5. but i don't have broadband to download it so i have no other chooice.
i think instead of wasting time in creating new distro linux developer should concentrate in providing quality.

Desi-Tek.com · 29-10-2006, 02:52 PM

finally i switched to fedora now i have no problem in connecting gprs and every thing is running fine for me

@DR RANJAN go for any distro other than ubuntu and family. u will be able to connect gprs.
ubuntu has some serious problem with kppp

The Outsider · 29-10-2006, 04:05 PM

still don't fully agree to you mate, yesterday i installed Kubuntu dapper on my friends pc and yes getin dialup to work was pain,
kppp couldn't find /etc/resolv.conf
the ppp daemon died unexpectedly etc etc

same happened with wvdial, at last i was able to connect by appending "Carrier Check = NO" in /etc/wvdial.conf

have to agree kppp sucks

Desi-Tek.com · 30-10-2006, 07:22 AM

but it works fine on fedora. and ubuntu has problem with SLIP/PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol ). and i used almost all the dialer available on Ubuntu but none of them worked for me. it only allow me to access net for 1-2 minute than it gives up.
and i am facing this problem only with gprs. never tested with external dialup modem.

@Desi-Tek.com: Check the contents of your /etc/ppp/options file. If you have anything like lcp-echo-failure mentioned in the file then delete that line and any others related to lcp. If you don't know how to edit the file manually then post the contents here and one of us will tell you how to do it correctly or else you might create more problems for yourself.

As for your NTFS problem. You don't need a new version of distro...you need a new kernel. Just download the kernel source from www.kernel.org and compile one yourself.

mate u made my day

now i am able to use gprs on ubuntu without any problem

its complete credit goes to u.

it is difficult for me to believe but thats true now i can access non stop net on ubuntu

can u pls tell me wat does lcp realy means? and why it was not allowing me to connect gprs for more than 2 minute? gprs?

JGuru · 16-11-2006, 09:11 PM

@Desi_Tek, LCP means Link Control Protocol. Reason :

lcp-echo-failure n
If this option is given, 'pppd' will presume the peer to be dead if n LCP echo-requests are sent without
receiving a valid LCP echo-reply. If this happens, 'pppd' will terminate the connection. Use of this
option requires a non-zero value for the lcp-echo- interval parameter. This option can be used to
enable pppd to terminate after the physical connection has been broken (e.g., the modem has hung up)
in situations where no hardware modem control lines are available.

int86 · 06-03-2007, 10:43 PM

I cant edit the wvdial file in etc folder.
I neither can delete or paste in that folder.
But I can run the sudo command succesfully in the terminal with the same login id and pass

eddie · 07-03-2007, 12:04 AM

^ you need to be either root or use sudo while editing the files in that folder.

Hey didn't want to start a new thread so asking my query realated to net in ubuntu here itself...
After a bit of struggle i managed to get my MTNL TriBand net connection running on Ubuntu Dapper...
That i managed when my mode in router was pppoe...
But i prefer using the bridge mode...
So how do i make a pppoe connection in ubuntu to connect my net using it...
Is it possible and do i have to download any packages for it...

fedore provides a nice script "adsl-setup" to do it

see if RP-PPPoEworks for u however it did'nt work for me

Have you tried executing ppoeconf or adsl-setup commands from a terminal window as root? Remove all your previous network settings...shift your router into bridged mode...restart and try those commands. I have never tried it but hopefully one of them should work.

Ankur Gupta · 08-03-2007, 11:46 AM

Yeah tried using pppoeconf command but it gives error message that some controller not found or something like that...

Desi-Tek.com · 08-03-2007, 01:43 PM

same here it is not working for me either

eddie · 08-03-2007, 11:17 PM

It would be great if you people actually gave the error messages instead of posting "some controller not found". If you post in such a way then only advice you'll get is to install "some controller" which you can grab from "some place" at "some price".

After a bit of struggle i managed to get my MTNL TriBand net connection running on Ubuntu Dapper... That i managed when my mode in router was pppoe... But i prefer using the bridge mode... So how do i make a pppoe connection in ubuntu to connect my net using it... Is it possible and do i have to download any packages for it... __________________ Integrate Yourself With The Latest Happenings..... www.ankur-gupta.com/blog

If you post in such a way then only advice you'll get is to install "some controller" which you can grab from "some place" at "some price".
