Have been advised to change the "#noauth",remove the #" in /etc/ppp/peers/kppp" but cant find a file ,as can only edit thru "sudo nano" as "Kate" can't execute.

Once you find it, you should be able to copy the etc/path/to/file in to nano in the konsole. Since Kppp is old, it's possible that the configs are still in ~/.kde -- again, you can look in Dolphin and Kate to see what's there. All newer applications put configs in ~/.config and a few in ~/.local . All files in your $HOME are editable by you, and do not (and should never) be used with sudo. If you cloned your old info, you should be able to see your old config file somewhere in ~/.kde . Config files are just text, so you can just copy the old over and it will generally work. Just a warning - Kppp is not maintained anymore, because nobody ported it to KDE Frameworks. Of course the code is still available in various places, and it's not yet been removed from the Ubuntu archive, but it eventually will be, because KDElibs are no longer supported (so-called KDE4).

To easily see hidden files in Dolphin, you either use Alt+. or just the View menu > hidden files. So-called "dot" files, the ones that start with . like .kde are hidden since most of the time they just clutter up your view. But they aren't secret; just hidden from regular view. You can even make a hidden file by writing something, say in Kate, and saving it with a name begining with . Just opening these files is always OK, because they are in your home, and are *your* files. If you want to work with config files though, it's a good idea to make a copy first, so you can move it back if you mess up. You'll not see "/root/" because root is /. So /etc/ means root/etc/. > Thanks, when I next boot up in K18.04.3 I will attempt to find ~/.kde > --, but in K14.04 not there? > > Ray > Yes, it's there -- just hidden.

Eoan Ermine builds ready to test In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Ahoy ahoy! Time to test! ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Simon Quigley Date: Sat, Oct 12, 2019 at 5:25 PM Subject: Release Candidate (and testable!) Eoan Ermine builds ready to test To: Cc: Hello, It's that time again. Eoan Final builds should now be available on the ISO QA tracker[1]. These builds are not final; we're still waiting on a few more fixes, a few things to migrate, etc. Neither base-files or the ISO labels are updated yet, so please don't file bugs about those. What there are, however, are "close enough" for people to be testing in anger, filing bugs, fixing bugs, iterating image builds, and testing all over again. So, please, don't wait until Wednesday night to test, testing just before release is *TOO* *LATE* to get anything fixed. Get out there, grab your favorite ISO (if you don't have a favorite, grab them all), beat it up, find bugs, report bugs, escalate bugs, fix bugs, respin (if you're a flavor lead with access), and test, test... And test. Did I mention testing? Please[2] test. As a reminder, we are in Final Freeze, as well as Feature Freeze. Unseeded packages are still more or less a free-for-all, but please verify your uploads first, and ask yourself whether the state currently in the archive is good enough, or if your shiny new bugfix can wait for an SRU/the Furious Falcon.

Did you edit the kpppprc file? If so, you want to save it (over-write the old one) with the same name and in the same place. so again the thing I see the isp name being DoDo \s + 3 lastm lines in > the Kppprc? > > Ray > What is the actual name of your ISP? The the \ is an unacceptable character in Linux, because "Backslash tells shell to ignore the next character. You have to enclose file name in single quote" according to https://www.tecmint.com/manage-linux-filenames-with-special-characters/. Because \ tells your computer to ignore the s at the end, it's possible that the ISP is not being correctly transmitted by KPPP. If it actually is named DoDos, then that is how it should be in that RC file. If it is actually DoDo \s, then edit the RC file to make it 'DoDo \s' - see the single quotes? That might fix it. Once you have edited the file, save it with the same name and in the same folder, and try dialing up again.

It's good that there is an alternative dialer that you can use if this is unsuccessful.

I viewed the Kppprc file and showed that the ISP was back to DoDo. I then did the "sudo nano /etc/ppp/pap-secrets" and changed the password back to the dodo password needed to logon. Then when I done connect it didn't finish connectionm- (connect 115200),when done thru Kppp icon or pppd icon?

Message-ID: <7f58b5decb592310f7af4fb2a004009ccec926a9.camel@gmail.com> Hi all, I have a slightly unusual setup which might have broken the upgrade process. The upgrade broke in the same way on both my desktop and laptop which both have a similar zfs setup, but not on my htpc which doesn't have any zfs volumes on it. The short version is that it looks like the upgrade process breaks if zfs is used for home directories :( >From /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-term.log: Setting up zfsutils-linux (0.8.1-1ubuntu14) ...

I don't know what is doing this or at what stage in the upgrade, but I suspect this is the cause of the problem. Removing the /home directory and restarting the zfs-mount service seems to fix this (although prior to restarting the service I also performed a zpool upgrade - don't know what (if any) effect this has).
