Network-Manager doesn't support pppoe connections

[Fethi DILMI]

Hi everybody;

People who use PPPoE connection need to use pppoeconf tool in terminal so as to create a connection using old routers. Why do we not include that in network manager by making it support this kind of connections.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

This is not a papercut that affects the average user.
A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.

For resolution of the bug, kindly identify the projects affected and re-assign the bug to that project, otherwise the devs of the concerned project might not be notified of this problem. For more about finding the right package> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage.

Sorry I thought it was easy to develop , because to rp-pppoe.so library is
ready, the only thing that developers should do is use that library by
offering a tab in network manager , i think that python will simplify this
task s, otherwise there is no problem for me , I can wait , but I hope this
will be solved as soon as possible because there many people who use this
kind of connection.

Please set the importance to wishlist.

I hope they give importance to this bug , Ubuntu is open source , which meens free, and you know poor countries use old technologies like this one, so they will use free os like ubuntu, so it must offer an easy support to old technologies like this one (pppoe).

Network Manager 0.7.x added support for DSL modems.

In order to set up a DSL connection, you need to use "Edit Connections", click on the "DSL" tab, and create a new configuration.

As I don't have a DSL modem present, I can't really test it myself, but I've verified that the "DSL" tab exists and seems functional in both Jaunty ( NM 0.7.1~ ) and Karmic ( NM 0.8~ ).

Unless there's any reasonable objection, I'd like to mark this as Invalid.

[Fethi DILMI (addictcook)]

believe me , I tried that many times , it doesn't create any connection , I
tried that under 8.04, 8.10 and 9.04 ; it doesn't work. i have to use sudo
pppoeconf , and all people i know use this method because network manager
doesn't support very well this old technology.

Microsoft gives you Windows...But Linux gives you to whole house. Don't be
slaves of Microsoft , be free and join Linux communities such as Ubuntu:

Hi all,

I have test it with FAWRI ISP (Algeria), through a PPPoE.

You have to uncheck ("Allow Deflate data compression"). As shown in the attachment. It's working well.

Try it!

[Tony Espy (awe)]

Dilmi, you're bug said that NM doesn't support PPPoE. I've pointed out that the feature exists which why this bug should be marked Invalid.

If you can't make successfully create a DSL connection with Network Manager, then you should create a new bug which gives us the details of what you tried. Without such details, we can't begin to solve your problem(s).

A good place to start would be to create start from scratch and try to create a DSL connection via the Edit Connections 'DSL' tab. If you try this and it still doesn't work, then connect back to the 'Net via Wi-Fi or Ethernet if possible, and report a new bug using the command ( from a Terminal, or Alt-F2: Run Application ):

ubuntu-bug network-manager

This will collect a bunch of debug information from your machine and bring you to Launchpad where you can file a new bug.

When you do so, please add a details description of each step you took to configure your DLS connection.

Eg.

1. Launched "Edit Connections"
2. Clicked "DSL" tab
3. Clicked "Add" button
4. etc...

If it doesn't work for you, then you need to file a bug with the details

[Fethi DILMI (addictcook)]

Tony Espy , this doesn't work , the connection is not established like that.

The bug is still in 9.10
You can solve this when install network manager from Daily trunk PPA :http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-setup-networkmanager-work-with-pppoe-connection-on-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html

[igor (igor.name)]

I have a similar problem. In past releases, everything worked, and in 9.10 pppoe connection is not established.
