Dear Friends,
Some progress made in the debian distro. While trying to change my login screen, I noticed that the user could do it in gui but not root, even after entering the password. So I checked the properties of the login screen shortcut and saw 'gksu' (switch user) before the command. On removing this entry, root could use the program too.
In the 'root' gui, I was able to query my modem in kppp and even connect to the net. However before kppp started it gave the /etc/resolv.conf missing error. An empty /etc/resolv.conf was 'touch'ed. Still there is no acess to any website.
In 'user' gui, I cannot query the modem in kppp even though the user is in the dip secondary group. So the kppp shortcut was modified with a 'gksu' before the kppp command. This asked for root passwd and then connection was successfull. However there is no website access.
The /etc/resolv.conf has dns server entries of my isp after I get connected but the sites don't get resolved. Any tips?
Regards,
Rony.
