1)make sure your lan card is up(see the output of "ifconfig" to see eth0/1 is up).
2)configure using pppoeconf .
3)Dataone DNS servers are added if you chose the default.
4)for using opendns/dnsadvantage/verizon etc ,you need to edit /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider file.

You can do as below:
press ALT+F2 and inside the box ,enter "gksudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider" (Without quotes!)

give your password when prompted.now you can edit the file.
Find the line containing usepeerdns .add a "#" preceeding usepeerdns to comment it out.

save and exit.

5)Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the name servers you want to.

same as above "gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf" remove all previous entries.
add below lines for opendns :

nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220


save and exit.now start the broadband connection(pon dsl-provider) and go to http://welcome.opendns.com if it works ,will show a tick mark.
--

All Above Procedures can be done via network-admin gui as well.I am used to manually editing the conf files.so ..

I have made a shortcut to "pon dsl-provider" and "poff" in Gnome Top Panel ,so as it is easy to start and stop net.
You can use Custom Shortcuts made to achieve this as below screen shot(look at the red and green apples?)

Feodra 11 Livecd and Reliance Netconnect

I have created a LiveCD, infact a liveusb on a 8GB pendrive. I need some help to configure the Reliance Netconnect ZTE AC8710 device on this. Any suggestion, also would I be able to expand a liveusb to a full fledged system without changing anything on the boot or impacting anything else.

What I am looking at is, when I boot from usb, it should function as a linux laptop, and when removed, a normal windows xp laptop.

Thanks

Make sure you do not have a swap partition on the USB drive, and if you do not have enough ram, use swap on HDD.
Flash memory has limited number of writes, and if you have low amount of ram and the swap is sitting on USB, your drive will fry soon

Got latest ubuntu installed on my system. Long term plan is to move to linux in every aspect of my desktop usage. The installation went smooth and OS was up running in no time.

One niggling issue. I still depend on vista to convert cr2 to tiff format.

Is there any converter for linux? Canon dosnt support linux.

Tsk, thanks for that fast reply.

Few more noob question.

From my login(the one i created during install, i guess this has the root privilege), i update the firefox to 3.5. But other users still have the default 3.08 firefox.

There is this device manager in Win. Is there such similar thing here? How to see all the devices detected by the linux? And also the driver version that are installed for these devices?

I like the shell pretty much. So any commands do get the above detail is more welcome!

What is the firefox location.
I suspect you installed firefox3.5 in another directory, while the others are seeing /usr/bin/firefox.
So install firefox from package manager rather than manually.
So go to your root login and do which firefox
Do the same in other logins and see.
As for device manager, in Linux a device support is compiled in kernel.
Various Window managers like KDE etc., give their own hardware managers.
For example Kde HAL

always use the package manager to install applications in GNU/Linux.Unlike Windows ,You need not go for every software to their respective download centres,unless the package is not available in the repositories.moreover,3rd party repositories are also available for distributions like Debian,Ubuntu etc.

Ubuntu:Jaunty -

While ,there is "device manager" for Gnome Desktop Environment Especially:
lshw/lshw-gtk(GUI),hardinfo et al.you can use synaptic package manager to install.
but I will say ,don't expect Linux as very similar to windows or as a windows clone.

Thanks, let me see if I can move it.

Any idea how I could connect to the net connect device from Linux?

Thanks and regards

i am on ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) on an ibm thinkpad x61s. Was content with fireefox 3.0, and did try moving to 3.5 (for the weave tab sync plugin), but 3.5 has a few issues, so back to 3.0. Anyone tried the chromium (google chrome) release yet - it seems pretty fast.
