Version: kdenetwork-4.0.5-3.fc9.i386.rpm (using KDE 4.0.5)
Installed from: Fedora RPMs
Compiler: RedHat rpm Fedora 9 KPPP used via Gnome desktop
OS: Linux
Please note this was reported on Bugzilla RedHat (452083), and they
asked for it to be reported also here. Thank you.
Description of problem:
Open KPPP to set-up a modem connection via Gnome desktop. KPPP window opens,
but freezes on manual set-up when the new account is selected. However, if you
select the modem tab first, you can enter modem settings and then the new
account settings can be entered, but this isn't the way it normally works. Even
when settings are eventually entered into KPPP as described above, the modem
won't connect with KPPP (I think the error code 16 comes up, but will need to
check).
Entering settings and connecting to the ISP do work with System-Config-Network
via Gnome, though.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Didn't work with the original component when F9 came out, and doesn't work with
the current update (10 June 2008): kdenetwork-4.0.5-3.fc9.i386.rpm
How reproducible:
Every time, even when a reboot is tried.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open KPPP and try to enter modem account and set-up settings.
2. KPPP freezes when the new account manual set-up is selected.
3. Managed to enter settings if the modem settings are entered first, then the
new account settings, but modem won't connect.
Actual results:
Not able to connect with KPPP even when settings are eventually able to
be entered.
Expected results:
Expect to be able to enter settings, and connect to ISP.
Additional info:
System-Config-Network works and the modem connects.

Checked upstream and could not find matching bug report. Please report upstream

I also observe this problem, now in KDE 4.4 (via Kubuntu Lucid).
Basically creating new accounts fails (hangs), although it's possible to
configure the modem. After a few tries I managed to get it to work
manually, but 3 times out of four it simply hung on the "create new
account" step.
Incorporating kppp's functionality into the network manager would be a
perfectly good solution IMO.

I see this bug too, on freshly installed Fedora 14.
But for me, the first time I click on "new account", it hangs... so I go
to a root console, type ps aux|grep ppp, and kill -9 each process I find
(I think there is 4).
After that, rerunning kppp works always works for me.
I had seen it on Fedora 14 Beta, so this time I had tried to apply the trick of not using root as it seems they have done on:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452083
That is, with:
[paul at Arcturus ~]$ groups
paul dialout
[paul at Arcturus ~]$ ls -lh /usr/bin/kppp
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 Nov 2 18:27 /usr/bin/kppp -> consolehelper
[paul at Arcturus ~]$ ls -lh /usr/bin/consolehelper
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 bin dialout 6.0K Sep 14 11:34 /usr/bin/consolehelper
[paul at Arcturus ~]$
My first execution of $kppp &
System asks for root password, so it execute as root anyway...
The following messages showed up:
[paul at Arcturus ~]$ kppp &
[1] 2770
[paul at Arcturus ~]$ Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString)
QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method KUniqueApplication::loadCommandLineOptionsForNewInstance()
kbuildsycoca4 running...
"KConfigIni: In file /tmp/kde-root/kconf_updateCT2808.tmp, line 1: " Invalid entry (missing '=')
QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method KUniqueApplication::loadCommandLineOptionsForNewInstance()
klauncher(2796)/kio (KLauncher): SlavePool: No communication with slave.
And the second times (after the kill -9 of kppp process):
Second run:
[paul at Arcturus ~]$ kppp &
[1] 3122
[paul at Arcturus ~]$ QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method KUniqueApplication::loadCommandLineOptionsForNewInstance()
At this point, the dialog window "Create New Account" is there.
