Arrgh, you have the latest running, which means the problem is elsewhere.
Post us the output of rpm -V kernel-default ltmodem (there should be none)
.M...... /dev/ttyLT0
I assume you have rebooted since this trouble started and it didn't
change anything.
yes, rebooted several times now.
I also ssume you have configured your provider details
in yast as you should have.
Provider as in ISP? in which case yes, it's fine, it's unchanged
Click on the kinternet icon in the panel to
start the dialup. Right-click on it and select view-log. Watch until it
has definitely finished. We want to see what the log says.
The log says:
SuSE Meta pppd ( smpppd-ifcfg), Version 1.16 on linux Status is: disconnected trying to connect yo smpppd connect to smpppd Status is: disconnected Status is: lurking pppd[0]: Plugin passwordfd.so loaded pppd[0]: Using interface ppp0 Status is: lurking pppd[0]: local IP address 192.168.99.1 pppd[0]: remote IP address 192.168.99.99
I waited a minute and nothing was added so I fired up firefox and tried to get to google, nothing was added to the log so I fired up konqueror and tried the same, again nothing was added to the log.
I clicked thekinternet icon again and it added pppd[0]: terminating on signal 15 Status is: disconnected pppd[0] died: pppd received a signal (exit code 5)
I forgot to post the results from *lsmod* in my previous reply, sorry - I didn't see ltmodem but I did have ppp_generic when KInternet is ready to connect - is there a way of getting lsmod output to be alphabeticaly ordered?
Quickly google for those ltmodem versions, there's a theoretical chance
the latest combo of them doesn't work.
I found a suggestion to try modprobe ltserial modprobe ltmodem
they returned FATAL: Module ltserial not found and FATAL: Module ltmodem not found
the thread then suggested that ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586/ltmodem-2.6.2-38.5.i586.rpm be downloaded and used
but the one I have here is newer than that. Sadly there's no conclusion to the post so we'll never know if it worked or if he gave in and bought an external...
thanks
