@DR RANJAN connect your phone properly, open terminal, type

Code:

sudo wvdialconf

than u r lucky mate

when i created the tutorial on above linked thread at that time i was able to use net on ubuntu. but that also after lots of attempt. but later it stopped working than i did the search about it on ubuntu forum than i came to no about the bug in ubuntu. and when i raised this question in ubuntu irc channel. some ubuntu devloper told me that it is going to be fixed in next ubuntu release.

In Dapper?
Maybe it's specific to some kind of hardware that you're using.
Can you be more specific on that bug. It may help somebody else.

The Outsider · Oct 21, 2006

wierd

, anyway DR RANJAN can atleast give it a shot

Desi-Tek.com · Oct 21, 2006

here it is *ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=269876

and here is reported bug
*launchpad.net/bugs/40855
i am not the only 1 but lots of user r facing this problem and only on ubuntu. But wvdial works very smoothly on fedora4 and other distro.

The Outsider · Oct 21, 2006

that sounds allright mate but i know people from this forum who have dialup workin fine on ubuntu/xubuntu/kubuntu dapper, for eg: led_shankar.

the line dropping problem happened to me too, but it was solved as i left wvdial & connected through the gui interface i.e. the "networking" tool found in applications (assuming i have gnome)

& ofcourse i have a smartlink softmodem/winmodem.

Desi-Tek.com · Oct 21, 2006

even i also tried that but it didn't worked for me

i even tried kppd.
thats why i am now using fedora 4.

gprsuser

I need help i am getting following error when i used my samsung C110 mobile as modem with Aritel GRPS mobile office connection

pppd daemon has died: A modem hung up the phone(exit code = 16)

I used same wvdial provided above for /dev/ttyUSB0 device.

plz help me

@Desi-Tek, The problem is that Ubuntu doesn't work very well with all hardware.
Dial-up works very well for me. So you shouldn't come to a conclusion that Ubuntu
doesn't support dial-up!! Yes, there are some bugs. Let's hope in future releases
of Ubuntu things are sorted out.

Desi-Tek.com · Oct 22, 2006

but it is able to detect my mobile, prolific chipset datacable. and i am able to connect gprs on ubuntu but it remains active only for 1-2minute than it get disconnected. so how can i say that it does not support my mobile or datacable or hardware?

praka123 · Oct 22, 2006

ur h/w are all detected yaar.u can verify it using "lspci" command its listing.they detected this as a bug too.then after this much time no fix?...
i tried dialup last on ubuntu hoary only and it worked perfectly.also not on a moby phone .but using a ISP+external dialup56kbps modem.
so i configure /etc/wvdial.conf using wvdialconf command and then set the connxn using pppconfig command and dialled either "wvdial" or "pon ppp0" for connxn had u tried this method?

Desi-Tek.com · Oct 22, 2006

may be thats why author of that thread on launchpad made this comment

Re: [Bug 40855] Re: System>admin>network & modem monitor don't function correctly from John Y. at 2006-06-12 20:53:16 UTC

Yup, this bug was reported against dapper. I don't have the time to play
anymore games with this. If the ubuntu developers don't care about the
quality of their work than neither do I. Dapper-deleted!

i may soon install redhat enterprise edition on my pc. as fedora 4 is not mounting ntfs drive i tried almost all the driver and fedora ppl told me to obtain fedora 5. but i don't have broadband to download it so i have no other chooice.
i think instead of wasting time in creating new distro linux developer should concentrate in providing quality.

DR RANJAN · Oct 29, 2006

hi chester, i use ur trick, but its not work for me!!!
__________

^^ do that first

don't worry i have the same phone and data cable.

Desi-Tek.com · Oct 29, 2006

finally i switched to fedora now i have no problem in connecting gprs and every thing is running fine for me

@DR RANJAN go for any distro other than ubuntu and family. u will be able to connect gprs.
ubuntu has some serious problem with kppp

The Outsider · Oct 29, 2006

still don't fully agree to you mate, yesterday i installed Kubuntu dapper on my friends pc and yes getin dialup to work was pain,
kppp couldn't find /etc/resolv.conf
the ppp daemon died unexpectedly etc etc

same happened with wvdial, at last i was able to connect by appending "Carrier Check = NO" in /etc/wvdial.conf

have to agree kppp sucks

Desi-Tek.com · Oct 30, 2006

but it works fine on fedora. and ubuntu has problem with SLIP/PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol ). and i used almost all the dialer available on Ubuntu but none of them worked for me. it only allow me to access net for 1-2 minute than it gives up.
and i am facing this problem only with gprs. never tested with external dialup modem.
and this is the output of wvdialconf

@Desi-Tek.com: Check the contents of your /etc/ppp/options file. If you have anything like lcp-echo-failure mentioned in the file then delete that line and any others related to lcp. If you don't know how to edit the file manually then post the contents here and one of us will tell you how to do it correctly or else you might create more problems for yourself.

As for your NTFS problem. You don't need a new version of distro...you need a new kernel. Just download the kernel source from www.kernel.org and compile one yourself.
