Dial up works with Xandros how can those drivers be may to work in ubuntu
For last 4 weeks have been trying to get Ubuntu 7.10 to go on line through dialup. The modem is SiS Ac'97 (rev a0) have installed sl-modem-daemon and found how to alter the country name from usa to New_Zealand .what next?
Xandros worked first time up so why can Ubuntu not come up with the same package? Have trid to install xandros deb modem etc but it comes up with (dependency is not satisfiable modutils)Do not understand what is being said? Yes have run scanmodem. place in NZ is Taranaki Mt Egmont. |
Hi,
Welcome to LQ! I don't know your modem, but if it's a win-Modem chances are that Xandros as a commercial product has proprietary drivers that you actually paid for in the purchase. If this is the case Ubuntu won't work out of the box. As for the dependencies: that's the side-effect of the ease of use. It means that all software within the distro is designed to work together, and to achieve this goal there's a reasonably rigid regime regarding version numbers in place. And whatever the Xandros package contains would appear to be different from Ubuntus. Cheers, Tink P.S.: Where abouts in Godzone are you? :} |
Have you run scanModem from linmodems and followed it's instructions?

OP has been speaking offline to me for a while. And he was more polite, and less frustrated, talking to me. I am partly responsible as I've been insisting he post a thread here so everyone can benifit instead of just telling him what to do. (Though I've told him about scanModem.)
I'll summarise what I know: The NZ Edition of PC World has been putting gutsy on it's coverdisk (but no backup article inside) for a while now. This has been encouraging some NZers to give it a go who would not normally try. OP suspects the modem is a smartlink. Which suggests twe things: 1. Use Ubuntu's restricted drivers manager and see what it says. This includes the restricted smartlink drivers just for Ubuntu. 2. Failing that - I really need to see the output from running scanModem. I need the entire text from the ModemData.txt file. All of it. (When you run ./scanModem, spell it correctly: with a cap. "M".) The purpose is to identify your modem. We have to go through this because manufacturers seldom let on. BTW: You don't have to keep adding to your first post to answer questions - just enter the reply in the box at the bottom of the page or click the "quote" button. Do the other OSs have this problem (people expecting windows-only hardware to work in them)? |
Just a thought: Those 2 distros are generally good (out of the box) for winmodems dial up users: Mepis & Puppy... They usually come with necessary drivers...
|
NZ has lots of active linux clubs (called LUGs). These are a great resource - a member of your local LUG can often help you out with internet (say) while you are getting your modem going.
The Taranaki Linux Users Group is: TLUG If they are close enough to you (and I know how big the region is) you may be able to attend the next meeting. Though they haven't had one in a while. |
Correct folder for installs
Quote:
First the mag is PC User from Aussie and mostly is worth the monthly read.In my mind it is a step on others. As what is sorted here may help a lot of people I will start at the begining and try and ask simple questions. 1) when installing a deb programe (scanModem)what folder should it be placed in (at this stage I have been doing it from the desktop) I have found if I goto the scanModem that has been installed I find several text files including one for the modem is this what is required? CCTV |
I'll walk you through from scratch:
(This was also sent privately - but I think there must be someone else who will benifit.) 1. download scanModem.tar.gz and put it in ~/Documents 2. open a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) 3. Terminal Comventions: The "$" and "#" signs are command prompts and are not to be typed. Everything after a command prompt is to be typed, when you reach the end of a line, hit "enter". Anything on a line by itself is an example output for you to compare with and is not to be typed (note: yours won't be exactly the same.) I will use square brackets when I want to avoid typing stuff out, or to comment. Code:
[begin example] of this file into [code] tags as a reply in the LQ thread. If you know how to do this, skip the rest. Otherwise - read on... 4. You will need to get the ModemData.txt file to a computer with internet access, by some means at your disposal. 4.1 Open a browser on that computer, 4.2 browse to your LQ thread, 4.3 find my last post, 4.4 find the "quote" button by that post, 4.5 click the quote button. 5. An edit page will appear, with my entire post in [QUOTE] tags at the top. I want you to remove everything between the quote tags except the bit where I ask for scanModem output. Leave the [QUOTE=Simon Bridge] and [/QUOTE] alone. 6. After the [/QUOTE] tag, press enter to start a new line. Then type in something like "Here is the file you asked for:" but without the "" marks. Then press enter. Then type "[CODE]". Then press enter. 7. Open the text file in a text editor (on your computer - not in the browser) - select all - copy 8. rt-click in the LQ edit page (in the browser) on the line after [CODE]. Select "paste". (All the text from the editor will now appear after the [CODE] tag.) 9. still in the browser - press enter then type in [/CODE]. 10. save the post with the button just below where you type. If this looks too hard, you can attach it to an email, and I'll do it. Note: this is not a blanket permission to everybody! OP Only! If you receive any message starting "ERROR", or similar, anywhere, I need to know *exactly* what it says as well as the command you typed to get this (also exactly). To get linux terminal output to me, you need to save it to a text file, get that file to a computer with internet access, etc. This is because I need the exact copy, not a description of what it said. I am currently running a course in Orewa called "Open Source Computing (Free Software Techniques for Normal People)"... this won't help you directly - but the course materials are online from the HBCLUG website. The materials comprise course notes and supporting documents - and are not intended to stand alone. However, it should give you a script to follow. If you want tutoring for the course - I'm afraid I charge :) |
I looked for
System Administration Restricted (not a thing) So PC User System Administration Synaptic Package manager use the search and type in restricted Ubuntu-restricted-extras will appear (nothing to do with modems in the readings) I have Ubuntu v5.10, 6.10, 7.04 cds I wonder if because 7.10 was put out by PC User that not all files were included as several things you have point me to do not work.?May be I should get a downloaded copy, the 7.04 was straight from Ubuntu. will try what you posted today thanks om |
7.04 does not have the restricted device manager.
The packages are: restricted-manager restricted-manager-core You can attempt it from the command-line by just entering: $ restricted-manager If it dosn't come up, sudo apt-get install restricted-manager (while the install CD is in the drive) may work - otherwise you need to be online to install this way. For that matter - try sudo apt-get install sl-modem-daemon. It is entirely possible that the coverdisk version is without this. These packages provide access to things which have uncertain legality in Australia, so a magazine would be exposing itself if it provided them. <speach> Some people think that the ability to play music and access the internet is something you buy with the soundcard and modem respectively. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Instead you rent this ability separately and only for specific circumstances. The free software movement is dedicated to the idea (amongst others) that if you buy a modem, it should work with any OS you choose. This also fits in with Kiwi ideas about "fair play". </speach> The sl-modem-daemon package is here. Click on the "i386" link at the bottom of the page will download the package called: sl-modem-daemon_2.9.10+2.9.9d+e-pre2-5ubuntu4_i386.deb Copy it to your ubuntu machine. sudo dpkg -i sl-modem* (There's probably a better way). But lets see how you fair with scanModem first. This will make sure it is the correct package. |

This package replaces (along with hardware access drivers) the old driver generation (2.7.x) which consisted of kernel modules only. It needs a kernel driver to access the hardware. This can be either recent ALSA (shipped with a newer kernel (>=2.6.4) with Alsa support and intel8x0m module) which is sufficient for basic operation and data/Internet connection, or the SmartLink kernel driver which is provided by separate packages which you can build using the source from the sl-modem-source package. |
It is very difficult to work out what is going on when you don't follow the instruction as I have posted them.
What you need to do takes about 30 seconds - but you keep refusing to actually do what I tell you! [QUOTE=cctv;3093205]bone@bone-desktop:~$ restricted-manager bash: restricted-manager: command not found [quote] It's not installed - OK, we'd guessed that. Code:

You can put a home icon on your desktop too ... go to: System > Preferences > Main Menu ---> a window pops up with sections called "menus" and "items" In the "menus" section, look for "System Tools" and single-left-click it. ---> the "items" section changes In the "items" section, there are items (well doh) and check-boxes. You need to single-left-click the box for the item called "Configuration Editor". If it is already checked (colored in) then you should leave it alone - and I've just wasted your time :) Now click "close". Next, go to "Applications > System Tools > Configuration Editor" In the configuration editor window, there is a list of folders. You want to go to: Apps > Nautilus > Desktop The right view changes - locate the item that says "home icon visible", it has a check box next to it, click the checkbox. (You may want to check the others while you are there.) Now close the window by file > quit (or the window close button). Now you have a home folder on your desktop. This process is too convoluted - hopefully it will be corrected in hardy. Quote:
This means the driver is installed - remains to edit /etc/wvdial.conf However - need to be sure that this modem really is a smartlink. Otherwise it will just get confusing. That's what scanModem will do. Quote:

You did not put the script into a handy location - you left it in an annoying place - on your desktop. From your previous attempts - I see you don't have the standard default folders that Ubuntu gives everyone else. So... open your home folder - you will see three folders in it called "Desktop", "Examples" and "Modem". drag the scanModem.2008030400 icon from werever it is to your home folder. rename the scanModem.2008030400 file to just plain scanModem. (right-click the icon and select "rename") Open a terminal like before... it will automatically open to your home folder, so you don't need to cd anywhere. $ ls And you should see the file "scanModem" alongside the others. If not, there is no point continuing. Find scanModem and put it in the right place to be used. If it is there - start from "$ chmod +x scanModem" in the instructions.

Yike: starting from scratch ...
Adding the home folder to your desktop: - your menus (email) look like an old version. The mag has definitely got a fiddled disk. before we try anything, go to places, then try dragging the home folder from there to the desktop. (I don't expect it to work, but it used to.) The menu item you need is probably in Applications > Preferences > Menu Layout ... but I cannot predict what you will find from here. There should be something like what I described (a dialog window with menu items and check boxes) in which case you want to enable the system configuration item and what goes in it. However - it is possible that the menu configuration tool is not installed... which pretty much fubars that line of inquirey. Fortunately, you don't need that to get the home folder to your desktop to get the modem working - it's just handy, that's all. ... Modem Do you still have the scanModem and sl-modem-daemon packages? You go to places > home - opens the file browser on your desktop, and displays the content of your home directory. It that window, go to file > create folder - and a new folder appears. Edit it's name - call it "documents". Open it - it's empty. Put the scanModem and sl-modem-daemon packages there. (It is a good practise to do your work stuff in a directory where there are no configuration files to mess up by accident. That's why I have you do this.) Leave the window open. In the top panel, go to Applications > Accessories ... see the terminal icon? Drag it to the desktop - it's useful, we will use this a lot. Open a terminal. The terminal is a lot like the old DOS Prompt ... remember DOS? Only it's much more powerful. Many of the skills you learned in dos will work here... for eg. dir will (usually) list the content of the directory and cd will change directory. Main differences are: the prompt is a $ instead of a > there is no C: part - the C-Drive no longer exists - nor does A: B: and D:... none of them. almost everything is done in lower case - 'cause it's quieter. Trust me on this. case is important - Documents is different from documents. we use a / where DOS uses a \ Enter $ ls you should see the files in your home directory, including "documents". this is the same thing as "dir" only on steroids. $ cd documents you have to enter the exact names, add or miss anything will fail. note: cd /documents in different from cd documents, the latter is what you want. $ ls this will now show you the scanModem script and the sl-modem-daemon packages. $ tar xvzf scanModem.<stuff>.tar.gz you can use the file browser window to rename the scanModem.<stuff> file that just appeared to just plain scanModem. (note: you should see two files called scanModem.<stuff>, one of them has a .tar.gz ending, the other one doesn't. You want to rename that other one.) Go back to the terminal $ sudo chmod +x scanModem this is to turn the script into an executable file. In DOS you'd do this by giving it a .exe extension - unix doesn't really care about the file extension, they are mostly there for humans to read. $ sudo ./scanModem Go back to the file browser - look for a file called "modemdata.txt". That's the one I need. Use you talents to find a way to copy it, in it's entirety, to your reply in this thread, or email it to me and I'll do it. I won't go any further for fear of confusing you. |

The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev If an alternate ethernet connection is available, $ apt-get update $ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel will install needed package For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list: Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition, they can be installed alltogether with: $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb Checking pppd properties: -rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 269256 2007-10-05 08:57 /usr/sbin/pppd In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linm.../msg02637.html To enable dialout without Root permission do: $ su - root (not for Ubuntu) sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd or under Ubuntu related Linuxes sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options asyncmap 0 noauth crtscts lock hide-password modem proxyarp lcp-echo-interval 30 lcp-echo-failure 4 noipx In case of a message like: Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/biga.../msg04656.html Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
