Marvin/All, It seem to happen pretty often that people need to be reminded here in the list about installing the wvdial package first. Maybe scanModem could be modified to instruct a user to install the wvdial and then rerun the scanModem. This important bit of info seems to get lost in ModemData.txt And then scanModem could recognize the Ubuntu system and provide some more specific info like this: <<< if [ -f /etc/issue ] && grep -q Ubuntu /etc/issue; then cat <<EOF For Ubuntu users, there are at the bottom of http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ packages with the files necessary to install wvdial, with names like: EOF if lsb_release -c | grep -q jaunty; then cat <<EOF wvdial_jaunty_amd64.zip for x86_64, 64 bit bus systems. wvdial_jaunty_i386.zip for 32 bit systems. EOF elif lsb_release -c | grep -q karmic; then cat <<EOF wvdial_karmic_i386.zip for 32 bit systems. EOF else cat <<EOF wvdial_*.zip EOF fi cat <<EOF These are about 1 MB in size. After downloaded and copied into your Linux partition: $ unzip wv*.zip Within the new folder: $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb will complete the wvdial installation Please read Modem/DOCs/wvdial.txt for usage information. EOF fi >>> -- Nick Zhuravlev www.auriga.com On Sat, Feb 20, 2010 at 07:52:01AM -0500, Marvin Stodolsky <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Divesh > > The dialer utility package WVDIAL does not appear to be installed on > your System. > For Ubuntu users, there are at the bottom of > http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ > packages with the files necessary to install wvdial: > wvdial_karmic_i386.zip for 32 bit systems. > These are about 1 MB in size.
