From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pt-BR; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: In this fresh installation of Fedora Core 1, when adding the the Modem Lights applet to the gnome paneal, alghough the device is already set to ppp0 (advanced preferences) and into the full /sbin/ifup ppp0 command (general preferences), the commands seems not to work when pressing the connect/disconnect button (and confirming in the respective window)... Trying to reproduce such commands in a root shell: /sbin/ifdown ppp0 The response is the following: use: ifdown <name of device> If I try (with the modem already in use): /sbin/ifup ppp0 The response is that: /sbin/ifup the configuration for ppp0 has not been found Use: ifup <name of device> However, the modem has already been configured throught the internet connection wizard (although not detected in the probe) and, morover, seems to work properly throught the network devices control system... (actually, I'm sending this message through the mentioned system, properly connected) PS: Had to configure the correct /dev/ttyS_ set (to /dev/ttyS1) in the advanced preferences manually. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Modem Lights 2.4.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add the Modem Lights to the gnome panel 2. Try to connect 3. Check preferences Additional info:
I've just been setting up the modem on a Fedora Core-1 box and I've used redhat-config-network to setup the modem hardware and added an entry on the 'device' tab. The device has a nickname and this is what should be entered in the commands for the gnome modem lights applet, not ppp0 (unless the nickname is ppp0). Check in the directory /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and you will see a file called ifcfg-Nickname that contains the paramteters for the connection. In my case I have ifcfg-Freeserve so my modem lights commands are: Connect: /sbin/ifup Freeserve Disconnect: /sbin/ifdown Freeserve In the Advanced tab the device is still ppp0 and the lock file is /var/lock/LCK..modem When I click the button on the lights applet I get connected and get all the flashing colours, bar chart, etc. Hope this helps!
Thank you very much Steve! It did work! Modem Lights functional now!!!!
