Description of problem: I have a bluetooth phone setup up according to the instruction at this site http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:RRhBK7dmkIgJ:tronbikes.com/linux/+cu500+fedora&hl=en&client=firefox-a&gl=us&strip=0 Even though it is for FC5 and an T41, it is the same setup for my FC6,FC7,FC8 Dell D620. Under FC8 I get "The connect script failed (maybe wrong password or wrong phone number)". The log only reports "Connect script failed". However when I "wvdial Cingular" as root is connects fine, though it doesn't update "resolve.conf" properly. I've attached the relevant part of /var/log/message below. Both times I stopped NetworkManager, though under FC6 and FC7 this was never necessary. /var/log/ppp *never* has anything in it. Even when I successfully connect using wvdail. I'm guessing it's not logging for some reason. Even though I'm using a bluetooth connection, I don't think it has anything to do with bluetooth, since I am able to use minicom to the phone over the /dev/rfcomm0 device and manually instruct it to dial with no problems. Unfortunately, my laptop only has a softmodem so I cannot test ppp any other way. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ppp-2.4.4-2 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup connection 2. use ifup <Connection> 3. Actual results: Expected results: connect ppp Additional info:
Created attachment 240471 [details] /var/log/message when ppp tries to connect.
PPP doesn't write to /var/log/ppp because it is a bug, see Bug 249152 . It is now fixed with ppp-2.4.4-6.fc9, otherwise, the logs go to /etc/ppp, but SELinux probably prevents that. The link you gave is no longer working.. Can you find it anywhere? Also, could you please attach your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg- of the connection you are trying to use? (just be careful, there might be sensitive informations in there). Thanks.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
As of FC9, I don't see this problem anymore.
