[Bug 379781] Re: Section 7.1.3 of Help pages produces cannot display location ftp://anonym...@ftp.ubuntu.com
I'm changing this to invalid as it isn't a bug in the documentation. ** Changed in: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress = Invalid -- Section 7.1.3 of Help pages produces cannot display location ftp://anonym...@ftp.ubuntu.com; https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379781 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Section 7 would require a working connection, which is why it isn't opening the requested page. There is some ambiguity as to the DNS entry so I've patched it to read: 12. Select the DNS tab 13. In the DNS Servers section, click Add 14. In the highlighted text box enter your ISP's DNS 15. If you have a second DNS, repeat the process 16. Click Close 17. Ensure the connection is ticked in the connections tab and your modem connection should now connect 18. Click Close If this still doesn't work or you need to make any changes, let me know - I don't have a modem connection to test this with. ** Changed in: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = In Progress -- Section 7.1.3 of Help pages produces cannot display location ftp://anonym...@ftp.ubuntu.com; https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379781 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you very much for this. Your revised instructions are certainly clearer than before. I followed these instructions, but when I did instruction 16 click on Close the window disappeared, leaving me in doubt as to how to follow instruction 17 ensure the connection is ticked in the connections tab I repeated all the instructions in section 6 as far as your instruction 16, inserting a tick to the left of the Point to Point connection box immediately after doing instruction 4 Select Point to Point connection. Neither of these gave me a connection. Could it be that the place where I went wrong was instruction 10 Choose the modem settings you require? Earlier on the computer had told me (in response to my typing sudo martian_modem ) that the port to use was /dev/ttySM0 but this was not one of the options offered; I chose the most similar option, /dev/ttyS0 but maybe I should have done something else ?!?

I'm confident that the steps are correct but I'm not sure you have identified if your modem is correctly detected or not so yes I would check you have the correct device. -- Section 7.1.3 of Help pages produces cannot display location ftp://anonym...@ftp.ubuntu.com; https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379781 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Could you expand on what you're trying to do - are you trying to connect to the Internet? This section describes connecting to an FTP server. ** Changed in: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete ** Changed in: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Dougie Richardson (dougierichardson) -- Section 7.1.3 of Help pages produces cannot display location ftp://anonym...@ftp.ubuntu.com; https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379781 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Could you expand on what you're trying to do - are you trying to connect to the Internet? This section describes connecting to an FTP server. Thank you for your message. Yes I was trying to connect to the internet. I followed the instructions in section 6, as far as 6.12 which says select the DNS tab and enter the DNS addresses of your ISP. The DNS address appears to be 212.139.132 but the instructions do not tell me how to enter this number. If I just type that number in the blue rectangle headed DNS Servers nothing happens. I tried clicking on the box called + Add and the words type address appeared in the rectangle headed DNS Servers and I typed the number 212.139.132 in the place where type address had appeared. Then, following instruction 13, I clicked CLOSE. Then I tried clicking on my Firefox browser icon, but the machine behaved as though there was no connection, so I went on to instruction 7 Connect to a server. I have just tried this again, choosing Public FTP when I got to 7.1.2. When I got to 7.1.3 Enter the server address I typed in the number 212.139.132 . I left the other boxes blank. Then, when I clicked Connect (instruction 7.1.7) a window appeard which said Cannot display location ftp.// anonym...@212.139.132/ So I was stuck. If you want to know how it is that I can communicate with you now the answer is that I am now using a different modem, not the UBUNTU one.
