Unable to set up PPPoE ADSL with Hardy using Network Manager applet

[launcspad]

I made my friends to use Ubuntu instead of Windows. I rid away that disgusting operation system and installed Ubuntu 8.04 from their official posted CD. After that I tried to connet to the Internet via ADSL modem using the Network Manager. I entered the correct username and password. It tryed to connect (I saw a red and a green rotating point instead of the two black screens in the top right corner) but nothing happened. No error messages, no Internet. No IP address given.

Then I booted from Puppy Linux live CD, and the connection was very easy. They use now this live CD but I'm not statisfied with this solution. Puppy uses a script for setting up DSL. Does such a script exist for Ubuntu as well?

P. S. I forgotten a very important thing: they started to wish Windows on their PC again.

Thanks for report this bug!

Thank you for reporting this bug. However, in order to understand whats going on and track down issues, its good to have a full log. To do so, capture the complete test case and submit the whole file (don't cut out what you think is important). Please add markers in the log file so the bug triager can easily see what actions the user takes at what point of time (this isn't essential, but helps a lot).

To capture the syslog, do:

 tail -n0 -f /var/log/syslog > /tmp/syslog

and to stop capturing do Ctrl-C (you will have to type your other commands in an other window or tab)

Thanks in Advance

I'm using PPPoE connection type to the Net but this functionality was added only in network manager 0.7 could you please backport it for Hardy or fixed this problem somewhere else?

I can confirm this.
see my another bug report #456943 - https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/456943

this is the syslog when using nm-applet and failed.

I have the same problem i Ubuntu 9.10

- NM fails setting up DLS connection via my ADSL modem (in Bribge mode), but
- manual setting-up via pppd pty 'pppoe -I eth10' user x password y works!

The log of failed NM is similar to #7 attached.

By me looks this like that: see NetworkManager-DSL-fail.txt

I have suspicion, that NM is trying to "replace" the eth10 with ppp0. But NM need (I don't know WHY) to have the eth10 configured, also he try to configure eth10 up again, ...

I have also try to connect the modem via :
1/ another eth iface (NM managed, but with IP manual) - the same problem
2/ --||-- (unmanaged - also set-uped manually via "ifup" - in this case NM do not allow/show DSL connection at all. ?!?!
