When I try to connect (it worked on F16), I get: pppd[1800]: pppd 2.4.5 started by root, uid 0 pppd[1800]: Can't create lock file /var/lock/ppp/LCK..ttyUSB0: Permission denied NetworkManager[353]: Can't create lock file /var/lock/ppp/LCK..ttyUSB0: Permission denied NetworkManager[353]: <info> Activation (ttyUSB0) Stage 4 of 5 (IPv4 Configure Timeout) scheduled... NetworkManager[353]: <info> Activation (ttyUSB0) Stage 4 of 5 (IPv4 Configure Timeout) started... pppd[1800]: Exit.
I created /var/lock/ppp directory manually, but then I got: setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing pppd from read access on the lnk_file /var/lock. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l c123dce7-4bfd-474b-aa67-3af33523b603 I ran restorecon -R -v /var/lock: restorecon reset /var/lock context system_u:object_r:file_t:s0->system_u:object_r:var_lock_t:s0 restorecon reset /run/lock/ppp context unconfined_u:object_r:var_lock_t:s0->unconfined_u:object_r:pppd_lock_t:s0 and then I was able to connect. # ls -ld /var/lock lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 11 2012-04-18 01:33 /var/lock -> ../run/lock
On March 28, I updated my computer running F16. I know I was able to use my 3g wireless card and this bug wasn't present. On May 17, I updated my computer again with the latest updates. After this update is when I noticed this bug to appear.
It works now on F17.
