R Connect On Ubuntu Linux

[Ashokjp 15]

Hi guys,

Ubuntu Version: 5.04

Phone Model: LG 2030

Cable Type: USB

i got by ubuntu months back..

i recently tried installing rconnect.

i am not very familiar with linux part. so i need some help on the following issues.

i need people who have worked with ubuntu. because its kinda different in matters of root login and all. it uses sudo

last time some days back i tried installing rconnect using rconnect script and it pulled a error saying device not found or something like that.

i guess its because of some errors in usb device address in rconnect script as i read somewhere. But i am not quite sure how to change it/correct.

recently linuxguru said to type dmesg before and after i connect the cable.

i have attached the results.

I even tried the manual installation, but for editing the files it needs root login.

but i dont have a root login. Does any one know the default root login/pass in ubuntu ?

the username / password i set in setup doesnt have root privileges.

Finally, now when i tried installation, it says to login as root

but i dont know the root login.

anybody please help with detailed information.

I hv no Ubuntu installed on my system, so can't help much.

But I found something about how to login as root in Ubuntu?

You must do it once through console. After that hopefully you'll not need to use console.

$ sudo passwd root

provide a new password for root user if you do not already have any password for root.

$ sudo gdmsetup

Go to Security tab and check Allow root to login with GDM

Hope it may help!

Hey!

I am using ubuntu 5.10, but not RConnect so don't really know much about RConnect. Anyway, according to your dmesg output, after connecting the phone to your computer, Ubuntu is detecting a new USB device, so the modem is being detected for sure. Now download the linux dialer from Reliance site and run the install script with something like

sudo sh Install.sh

or something.....the filename may differ. Or you can use

sudo ./install.sh

If its not working, you may have to make it an executable........for that

chmod +x install.sh

NOTE: This is all assuming the filename is install.sh, if it is something else, subsititute that. Finally, as far as I know the dialer just installs a pppoe client. So here's what your try first

sudo pppoeconf

see if it detects a pppoe concentrator, you might be able to connect with it.

Thanks vishaal the sudo commands were a charm

i tried rconnect installation wizard. and here is the output. i have attached it.

something wrong with the device set in script. can any of you help me edit script to suit

my systems usb config.

You can know more about my system usb and ports from the files having dmesg command logs. i have posted in my first post in this topic.

@adwait

the command pppoeconf

made my system kinda under heavy process.

i waited for almost 10-15 minutes still no change in screen

but system process light is constantly blinking. and my mouse is very slow in its movement.

Also somebody tell me.

once in configure a connection using pppconfig

How do i dial that connection ?

I think, once you configure using pppconfig you can use

pon

to connect

and

poff

to disconnect.

Or, if want a GUI, install KPP

sudo apt-get install kppp

Wierd problem with your pppoeconfig........try after restating the system maybe.....

Also, could you post the script being used to install?

Edited September 21, 2005 by adwait

[Ashokjp 15]

Here is the Rconnect script i am using.

for

sudo apt-get install kppp

do i need to download any app or anything.. or it just installs this from system files ?..

anyways not much imp. i just need to get it connected to internet (rconnect)

rconnect_cmdline_1.0.tar

[adwait 0]

I think you need to change the rconnect1.0/usbwizard file. In it,

Find the lines

if [ "${phonename:0:7}" == "SAMSUNG" -o "${phonename:0:5}" == "GTRAN" -o

"${phonename:0:7}" == "KYOCERA" ]then

  ACMDEV=1

  portname=/dev/input/ttyACM0

else

  if [ "${phonename:0:2}" == "LG" -o "${phonename:0:5}" == "NOKIA" ]

  then

USBDEV=1

portname=/dev/usb/ttyUSB0

  fi

In this you need to change /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 to </dev/usb/ttyUSB>.........maybe that could solve the problem, not sure though, just a guess.

I had installed RConnect on Fedora once....haven't tried to Ubuntu.

As for apt-get, this command installs softwares from the online repositories of Ubuntu, ie: Downloads and installs the software you name in it. So you need an active connection to the net to use apt-get.

That stuff doesnot work.

it gives me same errors.

[linuxguy 0]

sorry, i couldn't reply to you earlier. I really don't understand what could be the problem. I am guessing some software issue is keeping you from getting connected. Try another distro like debian or PCQLinux. They are known to work with Reliance mobiles!

[Ashokjp 15]

i guess its the issue with the device in usbwizard file of rconnect script.

but even me dunno the device address correctly is it /dev/xxX ??

i tried many comb. nothing turned out good..

moreoever, i dont have any other distro with me

so help me out with this

Hi,

Best way is to configure wvdial as suggested in one of the post on this forum.

Create file /etc/wvdial.conf Replace xxxx with remaining digits of your phone no.

[Modem0]Modem= /dev/ttyACM0

Baud= 115200

SetVolume=0

DialCommand= ATDT

FlowControl= Hardware(CRTSCTS)

[Dialer R]

Username= 93xxxxxxxx

Password= 93xxxxxxxx

Phone= #777

Stupid Mode= 1

Inherits= Modem0

and /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 202.138.103.100

nameserver 202.138.96.2

Set your mobile instrument data rate to 115200. You can ignore other instructions in that post (like modprobe uhci etc.). They are not required in Ubuntu 5.04.

Connect the instrument to USB port. Open a terminal and type:

wvdial R

and watch that you are getting connected to the net.

/etc/wvdial.conf is a file owned by root so you have to give:

sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

command to edit.

I hope it works on your handset. (My handset is different).

Hey guys anyone any progress on rconnect with ubuntu. I tried downloading the latest version of there file from reliance site it gives option for all the reliance phones however if you select older models like 2030 and 2130 it gives an option to select com or usb port and If I select 6130 it tries on com port by default and straightaway goes to dialup dialogue... I am putting an excert of error thrown to me...

Connecting your phone to your computer

1. Power on your phone

2. Connect the phone end of data cable to the phone

3. Connect the computer end of data cable to the computer

COM ports on your computer :

/home/vikas/rconnect1.0/comwizard: line 67: setserial: command not found

/home/vikas/rconnect1.0/comwizard: line 67: setserial: command not found

/home/vikas/rconnect1.0/comwizard: line 67: setserial: command not found

/home/vikas/rconnect1.0/comwizard: line 67: setserial: command not found

/home/vikas/rconnect1.0/comwizard: line 67: setserial: command not found

1. COM1

2. COM2

3. COM3

4. COM4

5. COM5

Select the port to which your phone is attached : 5

please wait ...

Detecting Modem at /dev/ttyS12.............

Do you wish to connect now (Y/N) :

After I try to connect it says installation failed check log files for details... anyone any idea how to make the file look for 6130 usb cable...I tried connecting on all the ports one by one but it doesn't help....

I connect to the net using reliance hello connection. My phone model is LG LSP 350-R.i have windows xp and Ubuntu Linux installed in my system but cannot configure the net connection (using reliance hello) for ubuntu . The driver that was given with the data cable does not contain any Linux drivers though Ubuntu Linux correctly detects the phone when I plug it through the data cable but I do not know what to do from there. Can u provide me a step by step guide to configure the connection? Also please provide the link (if required) for the necessary drivers.

thanking you in advance.
