| 605896 | 2007-10-27 17:52:00 | Hi All I have installed Feisty and am having problems with my Win Modem not completing the telephone connection to my ISP. 1. I downloaded the correct driver for my Intel 536EP. 2, I compiled the driver. 3. I installed the driver 4. I set up the modem and edited the wvdial.config file as instructed. Now when I type "wvdial" in a terminal window, the modem dials the correct number and connects to my ISP but the text appearing in the terminal window includes the following: Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately. Starting pppd at (Today's Date and time) Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) may be flaky. Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/chap-secrets: Permission denied CHAP (Challenge Handshake) may be flaky Pid of pppd: 5631 Using interface ppp0 I would appreciate any help anyone can offer. |

| 605897 | 2007-10-27 18:04:00 | This is the only thing stopping my trying Feisty..it has a lot of documentation that this is a really big problem that needs an update or overnight correction somewhere. I am watching this thread carefully for an answer before I try Feisty. I have nothing else to offer...hopefully someone does. |

| 605898 | 2007-10-27 18:07:00 | Try starting wvdial with: $sudo wvdial If this works correctly, then some user permissions can be tweaked in the sudoer file. |

| 605900 | 2007-10-27 18:56:00 | Thanks Jen I am responding using Firefox under Feisty. It worked fine but it is slower to load pages than under XP. I guess I will still need to tweak it. Thanks again Bruce |

| 605901 | 2007-10-27 19:43:00 | Is this Ubuntu or Kubuntu or what? I dropped in a Kubuntu live CD and web pages load almost instantly compared to XPs few seconds... |

| 605902 | 2007-10-28 00:10:00 | It was Ubuntu not Kubuntu | Bruce.Mitchell (10359) | ||
| 605903 | 2007-10-28 00:38:00 | Try 7.10. Might work better. I had the same prob with 7.04. Altho after reading a ubuntu post on how to install / configure the modem. I got the modem working, but it would only dial out thru the terminal. Not thru the other 2 programs. Cant remember the name of them now. I might try 7.10, see if its any better. |
