Dear Friends,
I have been trying to figure my way around in debian since last few days and have hit some trouble spots.
Is it the sarge dvd? or is it woody.
The modem dials and tries to establish connection in wvdial but the last ok does not come and it disconnects. Kppp would not start in gui as it did not allow user access. Om going through the doc pages I found that it allows only those users who are in the 'dip' group. So I did the usermod -G dip user_name and got kppp running in user gui, but it does not detect my ext. modem on ttys0. The modem query fails.
set it manually to /dev/ttyS0 . note the capital S. Btw which modem.
There is no ifcfg* file in debian. How does one setup the eth0?
append the following at the end of /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1
then run /etc/init.d/networking restart. ifconfig should show your network.
your network configuration is in /etc/network/interfaces
The sound system was not detected but the first time I played a vcd in totem media player, it gave picture and lower volume sound.
You must have complete details of your hardware. What sound chipset.
Also which boot option did you select while installing.
