http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=903553 --- Comment #4 from Marguerite Su --- Hi, allow me to share some of my findings. 0. rp-pppoe is always not installed by default in the past (I searched "patterns-openSUSE" packages since 12.3, and all those package-lists-* packages in openSUSE:1x.x:Live repositories), and not in Live CDs. 1. DSL connection under NetworkManager GUI is actually processed by ppp package, through a plugin call rp-pppoe.so. And there's no significant difference between ppp 2.4.5 in 13.1 and ppp 2.4.7 in 13.2 through specfiles. What is mysterious is that many users claim that the DSL connection set up in 13.1 can't work in 13.2 anymore. That means, at least in 13.1, DSL works. But so far I still didn't find where the regression locates. I'll download the packages to see if that plugin is actually there in the package. And I still didn't get the connection between ppp and rp-pppoe. Are they mutual exclusive? or ppp needs rp-pppoe to provide functions? That is, is rp-pppoe.so a full functional plugin that can replace rp-pppoe itself (it explains why wroking connection in 13.1 can't work in 13.2, because we may miss the plugin in ppp package. then it starts to require rp-pppoe itself), or it's a wrapper that calls the later in (ldd the so between different versions of openSUSE may help). That's my unproved theory, Thanks Marguerite -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=903553 --- Comment #8 from Marguerite Su --- Created attachment 613402 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=613402&action=edit DSL error log Luckly I get an error log from a user. There's only a warning there: NetworkManager[1122]: <warn> (enp1s0): PPPoE failed to start: Could not find pppoe binary. and rp-pppoe package provides the binrary. and a few things confirmed with his help. 0. rp-pppoe was never in the DVD. (13.1 and 13.2) 1. rp-pppoe.so exists in both ppp 2.4.5 (12.3 & 13.1) and ppp 2.4.7 (13.2) 2. rp-pppoe.so is a wrapper at least in 13.2, it brings rp-pppoe in. So a new theory comes out: ppp 2.4.5 may not require a binary to connect DSL networks, and new ppp 2.4.7 do requre. then: 0. I'll package a ppp 2.4.5 for 13.2 and ask my user to downgrade and connect without rp-ppoe installed under openSUSE 13.2 If he can connect, then it'll be a packaging bug of "ppp" package. (failed to catch all dependencies) If he can't, that'll be another story. then I will call the public to prove that "DSL connection working in 13.1 really can't work in 13.2". 1. I'll find what the "binary" actually is. Marguerite -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

It will be quite easy to solve for 13.2, we just need assign this bug to `ppp`'s maintainer, and tell him to add rp-pppoe as a Requires.

I just verified that pppd does not need the rp-pppoe package for creating pppoe connections in 13.2 by manually executing "pppd call myisp debug" with the content of /etc/ppp/peers/myisp as follows: --- snip --- plugin rp-pppoe.so eth1 user "myUserName" password "myPassWord" --- snap --- So if there is a regression in 13.2, the bug must be in the components that configure/execute pppd (or try to call pppoed instead), but not in the ppp package itself or in its dependencies. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
