Re: 6630 as usb modem in mandriva 2006

thanks for replying prakash bhai .I have only one user and have not kept any root password.The file i am trying to edit has a lock made on its icon.and when ever i try to open it says you dont have permission to edit this file.One more thing mandriva does not recognize my cell as modem,could this be the problem ? when i used suse it showed my phone as modem.Should i switch back to suse and try this method?

Re: 6630 as usb modem in mandriva 2006

Suse Linux is the one that detects your phone. Mandriva won't support it upto my
knowledge. Did you create a Root account with password @Sandeep66?
Ofcourse, you should have created a Root account with password during Suse Linux
installation!!
Open the Terminal Window & type (konsole):
$ su -
(Enter password)
Now you are logged in as root.
Open Text editor
# kwrite
Now open the file & edit it. You'll succeed in editing it.
Yes, you should switch back to Suse Linux. With little hardwork you'll succeed.

sandeep you did create a root account. That what you did when you typed su and entered the password, as can be seen in the screenshot. See the terminal you will find it changed from sandeep66@localhost to root@localhost. This means you logged in as root aka su(superuser).

Look at these threads
*www.linuxforums.org/forum/peripherals-hardware/55310-using-nokia-modem-under-linux.html
*www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=463712

They will give you some good insights and the most important one is the device name of this type of modem. The device name would be /dev/ttyACM0.

Now, either you can try the scripts created by the user in the first thread or you can fire KPPP and change the modem device to the one I wrote above. Then try the connection using KPPP. Also, check by using "lsmod" (without quotes) command that you have proper modules loaded or not. The 5 important modules that you will need are
cdc_acm
ppp_deflate
ppp_synctty
ppp_async
ppp_generic

See that you have all of them loaded and then try the connection.

Now lookiong at the microsoft campaign for piracy, I hace thought to completely move away with tlinux...I dont need Windows for most of work I do...they all can be done in Linux....so can someone suggest me that how do I install my modem?

My ISP is AirTel, I live in INDIA itsself,
Handset : Samsung SGH C200 ( GPRS enabled).
Linux : Mandriva 2006
Connection type is USB.

I am ready to change to any of the major distros like Red Hat , SuSE or UBUNTU ...given that they recognize my phone as a device as and when it gets connected...I have tried RedHat and UBUNTU but was of no help...will SuSE help??

Since I just dont want o keep installing any Linux at random, I need your suggestion guys...Help me out!!

Re: Linux and C-200 as modem!!

Connection type is USB.

Open a terminal window and type udevmonitor in it. Then connect your phone to your system. There will be some out put on screen. Then in another terminal window type the command "lsusb" and "lsmod" and give us the output of all the three commands. Also, it would be better to start your own thread instead of using someone else's. That way you will get more helpful members to look at your problem.
