description |
My computer is wired via a SpeedStream DSL modem/router to the telephone line. Before I can go online my ISP requires a logon with password. I cannot do this when booting with any Ubuntu installation DVD I've used (14.04 & 16.04, both 32 and 64 bit). There is no way I've found to run pppoeconf to attach to the internet unless pppoeconf is available to do so.
Any attempt to use pppoeconf to configure the connection just tells me the package is not installed and to use sudo apt-get install pppoeconf but, of course, I cannot do this until pppoeconf enables me to get connected.
My workaround has been to download the pppoeconf.deb package to a thumb drive, then use GDebi to install it. This works but it's clumsy and it's only been through trial and error and a whole lot of time that I've figured this out. I doubt any newbie on dial-up or DSL will be able to connect to the internet and so is likely to abandon the OS. |
pppoeconf is missing from the ubuntu-mate-desktop meta-package.
Impact: My computer is wired via a SpeedStream DSL modem/router to the telephone line. Before I can go online my ISP requires a logon with password. I cannot do this when booting with any Ubuntu installation DVD I've used (14.04 & 16.04, both 32 and 64 bit). There is no way I've found to run pppoeconf to attach to the internet unless pppoeconf is available to do so.
Any attempt to use pppoeconf to configure the connection just tells me the package is not installed and to use sudo apt-get install pppoeconf but, of course, I cannot do this until pppoeconf enables me to get connected.
Test Case: apt rdepends pppoeconf should list pppoeconf in ubuntu-mate-core and ubuntu-mate-desktop.
Workaround: My workaround has been to download the pppoeconf.deb package to a thumb drive, then use GDebi to install it. This works but it's clumsy and it's only been through trial and error and a whole lot of time that I've figured this out. I doubt any newbie on dial-up or DSL will be able to connect to the internet and so is likely to abandon the OS. |
