That means your modem wasn't initialised properly. Try to set debug level in mgetty configuration to some higher level and see what it gives.

The modem answered the call and started pppd. Please look at /var/log/messages what pppd put there. You may also increase debug level for pppd to see in details what's going wrong and why it dies. -Kastus

It looks like it is to do with the modem set-up (It is a good, working one), but other than that I am stuck.

Hi,

Thanks for your help. I think I have two problems here just to get me more confused. I think the modem problem is 'minor' as it seams to correct itself after several attempts, but still needs fixing at some point.

That means your modem wasn't initialised properly. Try to set debug level in mgetty configuration to some higher level and see what it gives.

Here is a 'snipped' version with the extra debug info....

What kind of modem is it? It doesn't like your initialization string, as I see.

The modem answered the call and started pppd. Please look at /var/log/messages what pppd put there.

Everything seams OK, apart from these two...

I belive this is the main problem, what should the setting for pppd be for be?

I have tried playing, but the best I came up with was

I would like to look at your /etc/ppp/options file. Two things should be there: an address for the remote host, and some setting to allow it to use dynamically assigned IP address. I don't remember the exact option, but I can look at your options file to figure it out. You may send the options file privately (it's 7+ k in size) to me at kastus@tsoft.com. -Kastus

Hello All! Being totally dissatisfied with KDE2, I downloaded KDE2.01 from the SuSE ftp site (including the libraries); Installed it with YAST1 (no errors indicated by him), and of course it doesn't work!

The message is as follows:

"There was some error setting up inter-process communications for KDE. The message returned by the system was:

Could not read network connection list. Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running."

The aforementioned server was NOT running. I added it to my boot.local file and tried again. Got the same results!

Anyone got any ideas? TIA

Don't kniw if it will help be I had the same problem While upgrading from 2.0 to 2.0.1. What fixed it for me was installing this rpm. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/KDE2/update_for_6.4/xdev1/RPM/qt-2.2.2-1.rpm It being in the xdev1 directory made me think I didn't need to install it. After installing it the above errors were gone...

Good luck..

It is in fact the kde website. A subdirectory labeled for SuSE 7.0. Oh well!, I guess I will have to start over at the SuSE website. All of that stuff at 28.2 is going to be another long night!

I installed it with yast and it was in fact the last one I installed. KDE2.0.1 is pretty nice. I like it better then gnome or kde1. Did you install from the ftp.suse.com or from kde? I installed from suse using yast all the way. Installing all but the language packages I didn't need and nothing from xdev2. You will notice that each subdir has an RPM dir with the fullname of the rpms. I used those instead of the short named versions. I don't think it matters though. As far as order of installation, I started at the top of the tree and went to the bottom.

Something is definitely wrong with the files on the kde website. I spent most of the day DLing the files from SuSE and they installed (with YAST1) just fine. I just put everything in a working subdirectory and told YAST to install the whole thing. I got some errors in the configuration step re something in LaTex. No problem there as I have no intention of using it. Compared to the 2.0 that I had, it is an order of magnitude better. Egads!, even Netscrape 6.0 loads in a decent amount of time!
