*** Bug 17959 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I have had that problem, ppp-on seems to work (but doesn't setup the nameservers correctly). I did two things, one of which seemed to allow kppp to work normally: 1) I 'ifconfig eth0 down' (eth0 was started at boottime with a static IP for my network) 2) I ran named, not sure why that would have any affect on ppp0, but I state it just for completeness. There is one main difference between you and I, my kppp spit out "Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device" quite a few times (107 to be exact). Subject: Re: KPPP shows: PPP0: No such device

That's just a debugging message which doesn't indicate any problem. It's
emitted in a loop while waiting for the PPP interface to come up.
Harri.
Actually there is a problem. If I launch it from konsole I get BUNCH of error messages "Couldn't find interface ppp0:.....", and nothing happens...it just hangs on "Logging on to network"... then after a minute I get this:
.....
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Opener: received KillPPPDaemon
In killpppd(): Sending SIGTERM to 8209
But if I run in the konsole as root, then it connects instantly.. So there is some bug or permission setting that KPPP should warn about.
By the way, I'm running gentoo and YES I did make my user part of the dialup group (if it matters).

Hey, 'cause the Repo seems down, not Maintained, i will close this Ticket. For more see here: "This software is used to setup PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) connections. This is most useful for connecting with a cell phone "modem" card these days. It is also use to configure real modem connections. The NetworkManager suite intends implementing PPP functionality that will probably, in time, make KPPP obsolete." https://userbase.kde.org/KPPP Regards, [Tizen](https://invent.kde.org/tizen) |
Version: 2.1.3 (using KDE KDE 3.1.94) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: GCC 3.3.2 OS: Linux A help request on a list stated that there was a long delay between starting KPPP and it dialing. I have not found an answer to that. However, I get the following when starting from the command line in a Konsole: << [kde32@localhost kde32]$ kppp Opener: received SetSecret Opener: received OpenLock Opener: received OpenDevice Opener: received ExecPPPDaemon In parent: pppd pid 6202 Opener: received OpenResolv Opener: received OpenResolv Opener: received OpenResolv Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device Kernel supports ppp alright. Opener: received RemoveSecret Opener: received RemoveSecret >> "No such device" is clearly a serious error. This has no negative effect on my system, but I don't know what it might do on others. -- JRT
