KPPP keeps crashing
Okay, I'm noob and here is my situation.
Gateway 405Mse 1.3ghz Celeron M Installed Fedora Core 1 running KDE desktop with a Zonet PCMCIA card 56k modem. When I run KPPP after a clean shutdown (ie by logging out and then selecting shutdown) it will crash the notebook, the last function apparently is the "looking for modem" function and it freezes right there. The interesting thing is I can logout and then manually shut off the notebook. Then restart and when I get back to KDE, KPPP will work fine. So here is my question: First, what kind of differences occur when the system isn't shut down properly? Second, could I modify some script or code which controls KPPP to simulate the effects of manually shutingdown without having to do so each time? See, I hate having to crash my system just to dial up so if anyone has an idea...let me know! Peace, Andrew |
From the Configure button before you Connect to the Internet there are Options in the Misc panel that state how kppp should react to certain situations. The one of interest in this case is "Disconnect on Quit".

Thanks but that didn't fix the problem. I wonder if there is a tutorial or if someone knows how to alter ifcfg files or something to get this problem fixed.
After a clean shutdown KPPP crashes If I start KPPP after a crash it works fine. What is the making KPPP crash when the computer shuts down cleanly? |

Thanks for the replies but I may need to make the problem more clear.
I will log into KDE. Then I will start KPPP. I will click "connect" but nothing will happen, my system freezes, and crashes. So then I reboot and skip checking for errors when prompted. I log in again, start KPPP, and everything works fine. This is my problem. Whenever my system shuts down properly, KPPP will not work the next time I turn on and log in?? KPPP only works on the attempt following a crash. Is this clear? Sorry if I have been confusing here...Is there anyone who has heard of a problem like this before? What the heck is wrong with KPPP and why does it only want to work after it crashes my computer on a regular, daily basis????? |

And from where did you get the source or rpm file? EDIT: Also, please run the following command and then post the output with [/code] at the end and [code] at the beginning: cat /proc/interrupts |
Here is the output from cat /proc
Code:
[root@localhost roste]# cat /proc/interrupts Thanks |
