Theres a quick hack to make it bypass modem detection at install... after the first time u install it using apt ..when it hangs at Setting up wvdial.. press CTRL-C
Then edit your /etc/wvdial.conf [Dialer Defaults] Phone = Username = Password = New PPPD = yes modem basically just add the line modem at the end.. then do a sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a this should work..and give the fullowing message.. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a Setting up wvdial (1.56-1.1ubuntu2) ... /etc/wvdial.conf already exists -- not probing your modem. (Run wvdialconf manually if you want to re-detect your modem.) Setting up kubuntu-desktop (1.32ubuntu1) ... I figured this workaround after examining the /var/lib/dpkg/info/wvdial.postinst file that is generated..it does a grep -qui ^modem on the wvdial file and if it finds modem it does not try detection. Its a lousy workaround but if u are like me and dont use wvdial, then this will atleast ensure that package manager is sane.. u can remove the last line i.e. "modem" after the dpkg run. Hopefully, this will be fixed in later versions.. -Bharat -- System lock on upgrade or new install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50041 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
