wvdial and kppp flaw

wvdial and kppp flaw

Post by Habibi4m » Mon, 06 Sep 1999 04:00:00



Hi,

I just upgraded to SuSE-6.2 and found some flaw in wvdial as well as
KPPP.  The wvdial terminates right after the ppp connection is
established.  I am wondering if this is a bug.

On the other hand, I can't use any X application once the kppp has
established the connection.  I tried to execute the "kmail" after the
kppp has established the connection and I got the following message:

        Xlib: connection to "localhost:0.0" refused by server
        Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
        kmail: cannot connect to X server
localhost:0                                  

Why these all things happened with new installation?

wvdial and kppp flaw

2 fold question - What user accounts are you using to do what (i.e. crank up
kppp AND kmail with the root account  while logged in as your user account)?

1. wvdial works, kppp doesn't !

Hi,

I am having trouble with kppp under SuSE 6.2. My system is as follows.

Celeron 333
Gigabyte GA-6BXE motherboard
voodoo 3 2000 AGP graphics card
linux installed on hda with win98 on hdb
Topic 56k external modem on com1

Having installed linux, I tried to make a dial up connection. Using wvdial,
after setting
up my username, password, IP address etc... I had no trouble making a PPP
conection
with my service provider.

So far so good.

Then tried the same with kppp (1.16.10 I think, on KDE 1.1.1), but I always
end up with
the message 'NO CARRIER' before any number is dialled. Can anyone suggest
what could be
the problem. I haven't made any special changes to wither program.

Thanks

Chris
