Public bug reported: When the “debug” option is uncommented in /etc/ppp/options as well as the “-detach” option, the ppp logging is no more verbose than without those options. They seem to take no effect. This is the output I see either way:

In any case, these bugs are similar and should perhaps be examined at the same time. ** Affects: ppp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ppp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1978731 Title: verbosity cannot be increased (“debug” option broken) Status in ppp package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When the “debug” option is uncommented in /etc/ppp/options as well as the “-detach” option, the ppp logging is no more verbose than without those options.
