Hello; I am running FC2 with kernel 2.6.6-1.422 and KDE. I connect to the net via dial-up. Occasioaly the connection gets weird and I turn off my external modem and re-connect. This worked fine under FC1 and prior releases. The error box would pop up and I would click 'connect' and away we go. However under FC2 things are diferent. I get a kernel msg box at the top of the screen box title:KWrited - Listening on Device /dev/pts/0 then a bunch os msgs that I could not save. Shortly after that X locked up. Running the mouse over icons did nothing, clicking them did nothing. I could not close the kppp popup box, or close it. It had a title but the box was gray blank. Clicking the X to close it left it sitting. So after a ^-Alt-BS startunregister_netdevice: waiting for ppp0 to become free Usage count=1 Then did a 'startx' KDE came up, I started firestarter with root passwd, then clicked on kppp It normwll asks me for the root passwd. This time it came up and skipped the password box. I clicked connect - and here I am. Is this a known bug with kppp? It sfairly fatal as I have to reboot the X system to connect. FC1 would just complain about kpp nicely and let me re-connect with no drama. Thanks Mick M. (if I have to report this to Bugzilla would you remind me how to do that) ===== Dogs have Masters - Cats have Staff! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
