Description of problem: I have a fresh installation of Fedora 15 Alpha. When I try to run kppp, I am prompted for my root user password, which I input correctly. I then receive this error message: Configuration file "/root/.kde/share/config/kppprc" not writable. Please contact your system administrator. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdenetwork-4.6.0-3.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into fresh installation of Fedora 15 Alpha. 2. Launch kppp. 3. Input root user password when prompted to do so. Actual results: Error dialogue one: Configuration file "/root/.kde/share/config/kppprc" not writable. Please contact your system administrator. Error dialogue two: Error launching /usr/share/applications/kde4/Kppp.desktop. Either KLauncher is not running anymore, or it failed to start the application. Expected results: kppp should launch and be able to read and write the kppprc file so that user can operate dial up modem to access the internet. Additional info:
I have the same problem. In fact, dial-up networking hasn't worked properly since, what, Fedora 8? NOT GOOD ENOUGH, RED HAT.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
