I have just switched from WinXP, to Ubuntu 8.10 (i386) on a compaq presario 6000 dual core laptop (AMD 64); I am using a USB Huawei data card- EC 325 (my service provider is Reliance). I am unable to connect to internet. can anyone help, please? The problem is last two lines in the output:
"Unable to run /usr/sbin/pppd.
--> Check permissions, or specify a "PPPD Path" option in wvdial.conf."
-------------------------------------------
First I edited my wvdial.conf; this is how it looks now:
Content of /etc/wvdial.conf
[Dialer defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 ISDN = off
Modem Type = USB Modem
Baud = 460800
Init = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Phone = #777
Dial Attempts = 1
Dial Command = ATM1L3DT Ask Password = off
Password = 9319923412 Username = 9319923412
New PPPD = yes Auto Reconnect = off
Abort on Busy = off
Carrier Check = on
Check Def Route = on
Abort on No Dialtone = on
Stupid Mode = on Idle Seconds = 0
Auto DNS = on
-------------------------------------------
Next when I ran sudo wvdial in terminal window, this is the output I got:
sachin@sachin-laptop:~$ wvdial
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
