** Description changed: + *Below added by Jonathan Thomas* + Stable Release Update (SRU) infos: + -Impact: Renders KPPP useless for most people + -Addressed by: This bug has been addressed by fixing debian/rules so that permissions are correctly set + -Testcase: Launch KPPP from the menu, configure stuff. Close KPPP. Open KPPP and see if things work. + -Patch/regression potential: Little. This is a tiny fix for an obvious problem that has been incorporated in Debian. + ####################################################################### + kppp on kde 4.2 in jaunty does not work due to 2 problems. First, launching it from the menu results in the kppp window, but it does not access the existing ~/.kde/share/config/kppprc file, so does not work. If I launch it from konsole, it will access the config file and work ok. Second, when it dials and trys to run ppp0, it complains it can't find ppp0 or open /etc/resolv.conf. paul :~$ kppp Opener: received SetSecret Opener: received SetSecret Opener: received OpenLock kppp(1297) Modem::opentty: Opening Device: "/dev/modem" Opener: received OpenDevice Opener: received ExecPPPDaemon In parent: pppd pid 1363 Kernel supports ppp alright. Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device It was pppd that died pppd exited with return value 16 Sending 1297 a SIGUSR1 Opener: received RemoveSecret Opener: received RemoveSecret Opener: received OpenResolv Opener: received OpenResolv error opening resolv.conf! Opener: received RemoveLock Opener: received PPPDExitStatus Opener: received PPPDExitStatus Apparently, it has the wrong executable permissions. On kde 3.x, kppp was always: paul :~$ ls -l /usr/kde3/bin/kppp -rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 661392 2008-12-30 14:32 /usr/kde3/bin/kppp But, on kde 4.2, its not suid nor group dip: paul :~$ ls -l /usr/bin/kppp -rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 652968 2009-02-05 18:24 /usr/bin/kppp If I change the ownership and permissions, then kppp dials and connects ok. But, the first problem still exists, so it can only be run from the command line. -- kde 4.2 kppp not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330116 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
