Re: pppoe connection showing PAP authentication failure

Hi, welcome to the forums.

There are problems with networkmanager for certain types of connections, noteably pppoe.

It is suggested that you remove network manager and the applet, then things should work with pppoeconf.

See this howto http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3104329.0

Re: pppoe connection showing PAP authentication failure

Re: pppoe connection showing PAP authentication failure

Oops, sorry about that.

You have to do

sudo pon dsl-provider

not just

pon dsl-provider

Re: pppoe connection showing PAP authentication failure

kevin even i tried doing that but it is showing that you are not in dip group member also i am able to remove the network manager but trying to install updates and wicd shows error

Re: pppoe connection showing PAP authentication failure

The sequence of doing things is important, because both wicd and network manager do basically the same thing and would be competing against each other, so only one or the other is allowed at the same time.

So, first you need to

sudo apt-get remove knetworkmanager
sudo apt-get remove network-manager

You can also do this with KPackageKit, but I've noticed mine crashes and freezes everything when I do that.

If you find that you have lost your network connection,

sudo pppoeconf
sudo dsl-provider
sudo apt-get install wicd

If you follow the instructions in the how to http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3104329.0

then when you log in each time, your connection will be automatic, unless you choose to make it manual.

Sorry about the problems, hope that this fixes everything.

Re: pppoe connection showing PAP authentication failure

I'm sorry. My mistake again.

should be

sudo pon dsl-provider

Note: there are two packages that need to be removed.

knetworkmanager - which is the kde applet on the system tray
network-manager - which is the program which manages the network

If you only removed one, not both, wicd cannot be installed. As you removed "network-manager", you still need to

sudo apt-get remove knetworkmanager

before you can

sudo apt-get install wicd

The package is already on your machine but it cannot be installed until knetworkmanager is removed.

Re: pppoe connection showing PAP authentication failure

I am sorry that you are still having problems. It seems to be in the names chosen by Kubuntu.

You have removed network-manager, so you do not need to remove it again, you can't as you saw.

However, you still need to remove the applet, which is knetworkmanager, before you are able to install wicd.

This is because wicd and knetworkmanager and mutually exclusive, you can only have one at any time.

sudo apt-get remove knetworkmanager

should do it, then you can install wicd

sudo pppoeconf
sudo pon dsl-provider
sudo apt-get install wicd

Using the previously mentioned "Howto" you should then be able to set up wicd to connect when you turn the computer on.

Re: pppoe connection showing PAP authentication failure

It seems like you have removed all of the Jaunty network applications needed to install wicd.

After the last post, did you try

sudo pppoeconf
sudo pon dsl-provider
sudo apt-get install wicd

If you tried it and it doesn't work, then you could open KPackageKit and type "network" without the quotes into the search box.
All of the files listed should be ghosted and have a plus on the right hand side, indicating that they can be added.
If you see another program, except for something starting with lib...., then it should be removed.
If not, then you should be able to install wicd using the above commands in a terminal.

Re: pppoe connection showing PAP authentication failure

this is the output that i had got
sony@sony-laptop:~$ sudo ppoeconf
[sudo] password for sony:
sudo: ppoeconf: command not found
sony@sony-laptop:~$ sudo pppoeconf
sony@sony-laptop:~$ sudo pon dsl-provider

sony@sony-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install wicd
Reading package lists... Done

E: Couldn't find package wicd

the kapckagekit shows only three files ie, libqtamd.64,knetworkmanager and networkmanager the latter two with plus sign and ghost.

i tried installing the wicd 1.5.9.2.deb version which i had downloaded from packages.ubuntu.com but when i click it for installing it is showing a message sorry an error occured .whyis it so and why does it is always showing E:couldnt find package?what does that mean

Re: pppoe connection showing PAP authentication failure

i had installed a 64bit version of kubuntu whereas mine is a 32 bit core 2 duo,so does it cause any difference?
