one needs to put sudo in front of every useful command in ubuntu.

That's a wrong quote. One need to put sudo in front of every command which needs a super user (read root) access.

sudo can be used for running commands as users other than root also.

Okay i was able to use internet last night by all your help. But now there is another strange problem.
Now whenever i open internet and browse 2-3 pages ,it disconnect autometically. Its too much annoying. What should i do now?

1.Connect the mobile via USB cable.

2. Open terminal and type su to become root.

3. It will ask for the root password, type in there.

4. Then Issue this command

wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

Phone wud b detected as Modem

5. Then to Edit this file, open it in a Text Editor
Code is

kwrite  /etc/wvdial.conf

When we issued command in point 4, it showed the address of ur phone that in which USB port it has been connected. note it down from there.
"Modem = /dev/***"

6. When Text Editor opens the file, erase everything from there and Paste the following:

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0  # <-- Replace it with the reading you got 
Phone = *99#
Username = aa
Password = bbc
Baud = 230400
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Carrier Check = No

The mOdem has been configured successfully.

To dial the internet conenction type

wvdial

If eerything goes fine it wud say that connected successfully.
Press Ctrl+C to disconnect.

Firefox and Evolution Worked here But Giam not working any idea why is it?

But one question, can i not configure the KNetworkManager somehow and use it? I have never enjoyed the sight of Konsole (just remembering Ocean's 12 hehe ).

 

[Pathik]

well r u using proxies???? as in NOP??? or u usin MO???

 

[hailgautam]

Are you asking me? No proxies (i think), yes mobile office of airtel.

 

[anantkhaitan]

This setting is working fine for me..
i just wanna know if there is anyway to automatically redial when disconnected..

 

[hailgautam]

I don't think there is any automatic way,even if the line is dropped you have to exit the wvdail and then reconnect. sometimes you might have to disconnect the cell phone as well...

But those are rare, and it works like a gem.

 

[anantkhaitan]

Man I was asking for this automatic redial option bcoz I often get disconnected with absolutely no reason behind...
I m seriously in need of this..

Chk out content of my wvdial.conf for if there is any mistake

[Dialer usb-dial]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Phone = *99***1#
Username = aa
Password = bbc
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Carrier Check = No

I have changed the 'Baud' and 'Dailer' ..well i don't think this are creating any problem

I m using Airtel Gprs connection

And then nothing works....OS does not hang,, but every program I open hangs on Splash Screen...
e.g, If I open OpenOffice Word...It hangs but the system runs OK....

If I type wvdial or lsusb or anything in terminal it just stops....

I'm stuck badly...please help...


Please help me...as GPRS is the only way for me to connect to internet...
rite now I am from Windows..

Did anyone try using GPRS on Linux Mint...

and if yes..please tell which phone & data cable...

[Garbage]

Thank u guys....

I'm able to setup internet connection on Ubuntu 7.04 ......

Thanks a lot.....

 

[DDIF]

well r u using proxies???? as in NOP??? or u usin MO???

Is there anyway that we can get Adept manager to work with Proxies?
I connect to internet through mobile and proxies, so i can't update my packages without MO. Coz only MO works without proxies.
By the way i'm using Kubuntu 7.04
