Kernel doesn't support ppp

This is the message I get when using
'pppd call MyInternetProvider'
Cannot find this as a module.
Installed v 0.6, kernel 2.6.3 IDE
I am using 'Peer-to-Peer Dial Up on ArchLinux HOWTO version 3'
by Rousian Solomakhin  which is posted to the forum Package Configuration Problems.
Now what?
TIA for help
Bill Barnes

Well, not exactly but--
Re-installed high-speed cable service that I thought I no longer needed.
Now executing pacman updates and installs. 
Also now recognize that Arch is not an appropriate package for dialup connections.

    My wireless card works fine if I set every parameter manually. I'm currently using the orinoco drivers that came along with ArchLinux.
    It seems like that the version of the orinoco drivers installed doesn't support the scan stuff. But building the new orinoco drivers failed with

    So I did try the wlan-ng26 driver downloaded and installed with pacman.
    I remove the orinoco modules with
    [root@ArchThinkpad orjanp]# modprobe -r orinoco_pci
    But when I try to insert the prism2_pci module, it doesn't exist. Why?
    [root@ArchThinkpad orjanp]# modprobe prism2_pci

    Any heads up on what to do?

    I installed the 0.15RC1 version of the Orinoco drivers found here.
    I rebooted but I still had the 0.13 version. I did a make and make install as the readme file said.
    What do I have to do to update the driver?
    do you use a PKGBUILD?
    update the driver: if it was copied to the right place and the kernel knows about it (depmod -a) it should work
    for a start, check under
    ls -la /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
    that your module is installed under the correct location (the orinoco files should be newer than the other ones)
    if this is so, make sure you are depmod -a (as root) ... and if even this is ok, then either you are running the new modules or something strange happened

  • Vanilla kernel with suspend2 support

    Hey people,
    I have started using the beyond kernel a while ago, because I wanted a precompiled arch kernel with suspend2 support. I used self-compiled vanilla+suspend2 kernels for a while before that, and they were very stable. With beyond, I first got strange bugs, hard to reproduce, suspending or resuming sometimes failed, and the newest version doesn't work at all.
    Just for some testing, I compiled a kernel with the same config and patches as kernel26 AND suspend2 patches included. It seems to work great, much stabler than beyond when suspending.
    What I am asking is, how many people would be interested if such a kernel would be maintained in community and what kernel modules they would need (I am planning to do rt2500, rt2x00, nvidia and maybe ATI, more if requested).
    Please only submit your vote to the poll if you are either a suspend2 user or interested in using suspend2

    Can you give me your definition of "at the moment" please? Or better, name a beyond release where suspend2 was stable. I switched to beyond with 2.6.16 and since then it was always unusable for me. With a vanilla kernel, suspend2 hasn't failed for me in a year or so. With beyond, it failed every time I really needed it.
    Admittedly suspend2 may be _generally_ unstable with other patchsets but even still, it'll only take one bulletproof release to invalidate all you are suggesting.
    I won't spend the rest of my life waiting for the beyond release that will work. I'd rather do something about it and provide a kernel that is stable and has that very important feature. (And as tpowa wasn't willing to include suspend2 in kernel26 when I asked him, this is the best shot).
    Awesome -  I dont think I could have said it in better words - however I did try above >
    I have tried many patchsets that had suspend2=swap patches but the never worked or not as well as a vanilla kernel with just suspend2-swap patch.
    Lets do it.

    Thanks for any answer!!!

    As far as i know the wl (proprietary broadcom driver) doesn't support monitor/injection.
    But the Mac80211 alternatives might. If they support the wifi chip in your MacBook.
    From experience with a friends MBP it didn't yet support his broadcom so had to use WL to get basic network connectivity and used an Dual-band(2.4Ghz/5Ghz) 2x2 11n/ac USB dongle for his monitor/injection needs.

    Perhaps using [modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] will at least tell us what dlls are loading. Look at the CR dlls. There should not be any v11 files loaded by your app.
    You may also start considering obtaining phone support for this one. I have a feeling this will take more than just forums to solve...

    <E-mail Edited by Host>

    It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
    I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
    So what to do, what to do.
    Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
    I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
    When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
    Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
    The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
    It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
    So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
    The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
    So what you will have to do is this:
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

  • 3000 J115 7387 - Current BIOS 2NKT31A doesn't support 4gb RAM

    I have a Lenovo 3000 Desktop J115 7387-26u and the current BIOS, just downloaded and tested from Lenovo's "support" site, doesn't support 4gb of RAM properly.  I have dual 2gb DIMMs, for a total of 4gb, and both Lenovo's PC-Doctor diagnostics and another memory scanner report to me that I have 4gb.  See this screen print showing PC-Doctor's RAM report compared to what Windows "sees".  
    When I boot the system, the BIOS only reports 3006mb RAM is present.  Clearly it's recognizing both DIMMs.  I've swapped the DIMMs and the results are the same.
    Lenovo, PLEASE RELEASE A BIOS that properly supports what the system claims to support!

    Two things.  First, "just so you know", the Lenovo 3000 J115 7987 is an Athlon 64 X2 (which you would know if you checked the system specs),and second, I'm talking about the BIOS failing to recognize the RAM that the system specs claim it should be recognizing.  This is regardless of OS.

    Setup iTunes Match on your computer. Download the songs to your iTunes libary and then sync to your old iPod.

  • I have a model 1,1 Mac Book in the black case.  How can I transfer about 30 GB of stuff to a MacBook Pro running Yosemite?  Can't do a Thunderbolt transfer.  The Seagate backup drive I bought doesn't support 10.5.8.  Thank you.

    How do I transfer 30 GB of stuff, mostly text documents, bookmarks and a few hundred photos from a MacBook model 1,1 in the black case, purchased in (2007?) running Leopard 10.5.8 with a 667 bus, 2 GB, 256 GB to a MBP 13" Retina running Yosemite 10.10.1?  Using Migrate is out.  Discovered after I bought it that the Seagate Plus Backup for Mac does not work with 10.5.8.  OnetoOne recommends backing up my data before I do that, which seems like a good idea.  Have a 801.11 n Time Capsule that also isn't working so that is not presently an option.  Thank you.

    The Seagate backup drive I bought doesn't support 10.5.8
    The only reason I can see for that is it's formatted NTFS, which would likely be Read Only in 10.5.x, if you can reformat it MacOS extended, which would erase everything on it now, then that should work for your purposes.

  • I have a macbook pro 15" Retina Display with 2.6 ghz and 8gb of ram yet when i try to download a HD movie from itunes it says my computer doesn't support HD?

    i have a macbook pro 15" retina Display with 2.6 ghz and 8gb of ram when i try to download an HD movie from itunes it says my computer doesn't support HD? i went to the support on the apple website and looked at the specs that a computer has to meet in order to play HD movies and mine is well above them. Why can't i play the movies?

    That would at least partially explain it.
    These MacBook Pros drew more power than the power brick could readily supply, and so would only run at top speed when the power brick was supplemented by the battery.
    Though the applicable tech note has been removed, it stated:
    "If the battery is removed from a MacBook or MacBook Pro, the computer will automatically reduce the processor speed. This prevents the computer from shutting down if it demands more power than the A/C adapter alone can provide."

  • I have an iBook G4 and iTunes is no longer updating. The last update is 9.2.1 but it doesn't support my iPhone or iPad. Is there anything I can do to update iTunes or is my only recourse to update my laptop?

    I have an iBook G4 and iTunes is no longer updating. The last update is 9.2.1 but it doesn't support my iPhone or iPad. Is there anything I can do to update iTunes or is my only recourse to update my laptop?

    As Niel has suggested Mac OS X 10.5 Lepaord.
    But first of all make sure that your iBook is above 800Mhz and you have at least 512 Meg of memory. (1 GB recommended)
    Please note, that if you do install Mac OS X 10.5 on your iBook, it will not allow you to install the latest version of iTunes version 11. The most recent version of iTunes that can be installed would be 10.5, which will be compatible with your iPod touch 4th gen, provided it's not been updated to iOS 6.
    Sadly you can't install any version of Mac OS X above 10.5 Leopard, as it they requires an Intel processor, which your iBook G4 does not have.
    Hope this helps.

  • MAC OSX 10.4.11 I finally succumbed to the constant irritating messages telling me that I didn't have the latest version. My old version and all my bookmarks have been deleted my Mac says it doesn't support Firefox! How can I recuperate my old settings?

    MAC OSX 10.4.11 I succumbed to the constant messages telling me that I didn't have the latest version, despite being happy with the one I had. My old version and all my bookmarks have been deleted and now my Mac says it doesn't support Firefox!!!!! How can I recuperate my old settings? in English

    Firefox 4 versions and later '''do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' (like yours) and require '''at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac'''.
    The latest supported version for your os is '''3.6.27''' , you can download it from:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    1. Download a 3.6.27 copy of the Firefox from the above link
    2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
    3. Install the new version that you have downloaded(3.6.27)
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so probably you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data, if you don't already ''totally'' uninstall firefox(user data and settings like bookmarks, extensions, etc. located here: ~Library/Application Support/Firefox so you must uninstall it separately, to totally uninstall firefox).
