Alan, You can change the permissions on /etc/ppp/pap-secrets back now. Read http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html The sound problem is known/common. Jonathan may comment MarvS On 6/18/07, Alan Purchase <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Marvin, In my previous email I stated that the Install had failed. However, the next time I restarted my notebook I was informed by Ubuntu that there were new Restricted Drivers in use. The new driver was the Conexant modem engine so I decided to see if indeed the modem was now working. Gnome PPPD detected the modem as /dev/ttySHSF0 but the connection failed with the warning "Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied". The log file is attached. I changed the permissions (sudo chmod a+rw /etc/ppp/pap-secrets) and tried again and this time with success. So the good news is the modem works. The bad news is that sound doesn't work any more. Cheers, Alan.
