pppoe conection fails to run at boottime

[gustavobrust]

Hello everyone.
I installled Kubuntu 5.10 yesterday here, and I discovered that always when I reboot my computer, I must do pppoeconf to activate my connection. I do the configuration ok, saying that the conection must be put up at boottime, but it doesn't work.
Have any of you got any solution for this?
I would be glad if any of you could help me in any way.

Oh, and sorry, my english is very bad, as you saw here. :lol:

pppoe conection fails to run at boottime

change /etc/init.d/ppp like this:

case "$1" in
start)
log_begin_msg "Starting up PPP link..."
if [ "$RUNFILE" = "1" ]; then
ifconfig eth0 up
/etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot
else
ifconfig eth0 up
pppd call provider
fi

think it should work. If not posting plog would help.

pppoe conection fails to run at boottime


Thanks, but it didn't work.

Here is my actual /etc/init.d/ppp, with the changes you sugested:

#!/bin/sh -e
#
#   /etc/init.d/ppp: start or stop PPP link.
#
# This configuration method is deprecated, please use /etc/network/interfaces.

[ -x /usr/sbin/pppd -a -f /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot ] || exit 0
if [ -x /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot ]; then RUNFILE=1; fi
. /lib/lsb/init-functions

case "$1" in
start)
    log_begin_msg "Starting up PPP link..."
    if [ "$RUNFILE" = "1" ]; then
        /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot
    else
       ifconfig eth0 up
       pppd call provider
    fi
    log_end_msg $?
    ;;
stop)
    log_begin_msg "Shutting down PPP link..."
    if [ "$RUNFILE" = "1" ]; then
        poff -a
    else
        poff provider
    fi
    log_end_msg $?
    ;;
restart|force-reload)
    log_begin_msg "Restarting PPP link..."
    if [ "$RUNFILE" = "1" ]; then
        poff -a || true
        sleep 5
        /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot
                               
  else
        poff provider || true
        sleep 5
        pppd call provider
    fi
    log_end_msg $?
    ;;
*)
    log_success_msg "Usage: /etc/init.d/ppp {start|stop|restart|force-reload}"
    exit 1
    ;;
esac

exit 0

Another question: where I find plog to post it here to you?


Thank you very much, hope you can help me again!

pppoe conection fails to run at boottime

Have you checked that the kernel module pppoe is loaded?
I had the same problem, and in fact the kernel module was loaded by pppoeconf, but not automaticaly at boot.

If this helps ...
