Yes, that is true. The problem is that kppp jams the panel and the desktop if you put it in any of them. All that happens if you are connecting by kppp through a normal user. If you connect by root non of these problems will happen ! But I want my family members to connect through their usernames and this is a high priority problem I guess. I found the same problem. But it's not only the panel that jams. If you try the same with a desktop icon the desktop jams, failing to refresh the desktop items. I tried to work-arround the bug with a background launch of kppp in a simple shell script (something like: 'kppp &'). In this case I guarantee the process fork and it doesn't jam anything, but on the other hand I get a kdeinit dialog box error: "kdeinit can't execute '/home/toze/kppp.sh'". But the program actually runs the console helper and the kppp. -- Ts-Zi I have found the same problem occurs with Red Hat 8.0. has any real fix been found? i would assume not since Red Hat Tech Support referred me here without presenting me with a fix. This bug is reported against old release of Red Hat Linux or Fedora Core that is no longer supported. Chances are that it has been already fixed in newer Fedora Core release. If you still experience the problem with current release of Fedora Core, please update the Version field (you may need to switch Product to Fedora Core first) in the bug report and put it back to NEW state. Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks. If this issue is still present in a current Fedora Core release, please open a new bug with the relevant information. Closing as CANTFIX. |
