longgone Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 $&$&%&*Wellllllll........ fudge .... no post in the 2.6 ...... "modem is busy" error .... but at least it did boot into it .... well now what is the next step ........ web connect in Mepis or Knoppix 2.6 ?????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 That is kind of what I expected . . the 2.6 and your modem are not really friends yet . . . so you might as well delete the 2.6 part in your lilo and only boot the 2.4 . . . !Now the Mepis modem issues is another story all together . . . did you try to start kppp as root ?

longgone Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 Bruno ,,,, You mean that there is not a way for my USR5610B 56k modem and the Knoppix 2.6 to establish a friendly and meaningful relationship ?????? ... darn ..... and now on to Mepis ... did that yesterday ... did the su <password> kppp and the window dialer pops up and I get the exact same results as if I was trying it from the menu on the desktop display ...... but .. food for thought while I was in Mepis a little bit ago ... (in between Knoppix 2.6 and here) I tried the ttys0 and s1 slots and all I got there was the modem was busy ... have no idea if that is of any info or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 food for thought  while I was in Mepis a little bit ago ... (in between Knoppix 2.6 and here) I tried the ttys0 and s1 slots and all I got there was the modem was busy ... have no idea if that is of any info or notWell that means there is hope . . . . but how to get around the modem busy and get it to dial is beyond me . . . . I was more thinking along the following lines: Boot from the Mepis Live CD . . and when Live connect to the web and stay connected . . the do a quick reinstall on the same partition ( hda8 ) still connected to the net . . . . after the install reboot and see if the connection still works . . . The entries we made in Drake Lilo will stay the same, so nothing has to be changed there after this installB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longgone Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 Uh huh .......... actually you mean try to connect to the web from the live side .... well ...

longgone Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 Bruno....,,,,,,,Uh huh ............. okay that did not work ..... there is a great difference between trying to connect with the live and trying with the hard drive .... with the live version I can at least get a partial setup on the modem ... it will "query the modem" and the bar graph is shown as it checks off the individual ATI settings but when it is done and it opens the window up there are no values listed there ..... I went ahead and reinstalled to the hard drive while trying to establish the web connection but that connection never made it .... in the hard drive installed version I cannot even "query the modem" and I tried as best I could to read the listings as the boot was in progress and it seems that Mepis does not even see this modem at all ... but as you say tomorrow is another day ...... Now do I have to run another /sbin/lilo in order to boot back into Drake 10 normally along with the others ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Yep dale simply run # Â /sbin/lilo -b /dev/hda again to get the Mandrake lilo again . . . . . I am beginning to think we should perhaps replace Mepis with Slackware . . . . After all you do have Knoppix installed and working now . . . . and that is a Debian based one too. What do you think ?

longgone Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 Bruno.......Welllll ... I really hate to give up ... but since Mepis is not exactly being "user friendly" ... I think that moving on will be just fine .. maybe try Mepis on the other machine (even though it has the same modem in it) ... so "Onward I say, Onward" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longgone Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 Bruno ......Oppssss ..... have a minor (?????) problem here, in the MCC - software manager section ... I attempted to d/l updates for the contrib choice .. the response was that the contrib was corrupted and to delete and reinstall ... I deselected all choices except for contrib ... clicked on remove .. and then went to the site to d/l the contrib source again ... here is the problem ... I d/l'd it (as su) from the site you posted in the first section of this thread here ... but I did not reselect any choices before I closed out that section of software manager and now I cannot get back into the RPM Media to do anything .... what/where/how are the steps ????

longgone Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 Wellllll .... heck ... let me add another glich onto the last one .... for some reason ... I cannot access the web with Mandrake 10.0 nor Knoppix 3.4, I get the error "ppp daemon died" and in details it basically tells me that the authentication failed (I guess between my computer and the server), this is on two different systems, but both are Linux ... I am posting this from XP. It seems to work pretty okay, same phone numbers on all, so ... any good ideas here ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Wow . . these are a lot of problems in one go . . . . First try to reconfigure your webconnection in Mandrake ! Go to the MCC and make a new internet connection. Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
