Bug Description
Ubuntu 9.04
I report this with great humility and trepidation because I'm not at all sure it's a bug. Jaunty either doesn't have wvdial, or the package is broken. I've set up wvdial several times on several different PC's over the last few years, so have some familiarity. Never tried in Jaunty til now.
Here's my old "Dial-up" thread. It's been read over 5000 times.

Anyway, I tried to configure wvdial in Jaunty for the first time two days ago.
bpbar@bpbar-
[sudo] password for bpbar:
sudo: wvdialconf: command not found
bpbar@bpbar-
A day later I decided to download gnome-ppp. After the package installed "sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf" command worked. I thought that wvdial had been tossed intentionally but some people suggested filing a bug report so here I am.
Thanks very much for reporting the bug!
wvdial should be automatically be in jaunty. It is up and working on my laptop. You don't really need gnome-ppp ( I don't actually have it installed).
Next time it happens, try and see if you have wvdial installed by typing in the terminal:
sudo apt-get instal wvdial
One question: was your installation a clean one or did you upgrade from previous version of Ubuntu?
