So, a ihave just tried to renable stupidmode=0 after having it at 1 for years... and it worked. In this case, the login/password is given before starting the ppp session, and it is not logged, but can be seen on the wvdial terminal:
--> Carrier detected. Waiting for prompt. Welcome to 3Com Total Control HiPer ARC (TM) Networks That Go The Distance (TM) login: --> Looks like a login prompt. --> Sending: ****@telelineb ****@telelineb Password: --> Looks like a password prompt. --> Sending: (password)
Well, it was just a dark shot. I haven't used dial-up for several years, but had similar problems with two secondary shell providers.
However, I'm still getting dozens of that "ovider" string. I guess I'll have a look at the sources. :-} [...] No luck there: I see no "ovider" string there, but dozens of "provider".
it *does* look like the first char has been dropped.
P.S.: I'm looking at the thread of your problems with nvida, but I have no help to give there. I also have an nvidia card, but I haven't seen that problem - yet.
It is probably (??) a combination of the Riva TNT2 card, kernel and nvidia driver. What I really don't understand is that it worked with the 5336 driver for ~5 months before trouble. The 4620 driver has given me back additional X sessions, correct (or seemingly) logon to level 5 and jumped from 89 fps to 1200 fps in kde and Xfce. That's a new wrinkle. NOTE: fps were down in the 5336 driver also.
Right now, I have two open sesions opened, one with gnome and another with kde (F7 and F8)
me so. gud luk, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
