New install, pppoe and gcc missing

http://forums.opensuse.org – Hi guys I installed openSUSE a couple of weeks ago but didn't use it until 2 days ago. It was the latest version when I installed it. To my surprise there wasn't a gcc or pppoe installed. Or at least there wasn't a command line begging with ppp. I tried to install them both with rpms. I think I got them both, just they don't work very well. In particular rp-pppoe doesn't work at all. It says that there's no modem on eth0, which is very true there's only a eth cable. gcc seems to work but I'm not sure I installed all the dependencies. I can't use yast because of lack of internet. I have to reboot to windows and download rpms. Can you give me a work around? At least for the pppoe then it might fix itself. Can I have some EXACT links to rpms or another solution? I have a 64bit system. Also sorry if this is in the wrong section or has been discussed before. Thanks (Distributions)

Stories similar to New install, pppoe and gcc missing

Hello guys. My name is Ovid. I'm using Fedora 16 on my TOSHIBA C660 Laptop. I want to configure my network internet with ppp0. (PPPoE) I set up with pppoe-setup, but doing pppoe-start, it's not starting. If I do ifconfig, I don't see eth0 or ppp0, i see p17p1 or something like that. How should I do?

Hi!

I have come to this place because i cant get my pppoe on ubuntu 12.10 to work an am pretty new to this so please bear with me.

with sudo pppoeconf i get the following message:

"Sorry I scanned 1 interface, but the Access Concentrator of your provider did not respond.Please check your network and modem cables.Another reason for the scan failure may also be another running pppoe process

Hi,

I'm having a problem getting a PPPoE connection to work over a wireless network.

My internet provider uses PPPoE to authenticate over the wireless network. My USB wireless device can connect to the WAP, but the PPPoE is where I start having problems. If I try to set up the PPPoE it tries to connect on the eth port instead of the wlan.

problem when use pppoe 42 weeks 2 days ago

my laptop is thinkpad E520 ,and fedora 15 when use wireless or wire is ok,but in my home ,if i want to use internet without cable plugged ,i must make sure the wireless is ok(it's ok ), then use dsl ,but when the cable unplugged ,the dsl cant work !

Hello all;

I have some investigative research to do into PPPoE and a wireless modem device. I'm have been using rp-pppoe by Roaring Penguin to start a pppoe session as a client. Whilst watching packets being sent by said program (using wireshark), I have noticed that there is no difference when the -s (synchronous mode) option is set or not.

I have a username and a password for my broadband connection. Everytime when I installed a new Ubuntu on my old machine, I used command line way configuring pppoe network connection.

1. Open terminal from the dash home or press Ctrl+Alt+T, execute this command: sudo pppoeconf

2. It starts looking for pppoe access concentrator on eth0…

PPPOE on Fedora 17? 29 weeks 5 days ago

Hii everyone. .. my first port to this forum.. .

I was using Ubuntu till now but PPPOE was creating problems connecting to internet at my home and it is forcing me to keep WIndows installed on my system. so I decided to give a try to Fedora 17. . heard nice things about it. But this too is causing problems. May be my ethernet driver may be the problem.

gentlemen....and ladies I have an intersting... problem and I'm brand spankin new to this, so bear with me.

Look I have just installed suse 11.2 KDE at 32 bit. Now I need to get all the drivers and codecs to work properly. So I can download using yast and a bunch of repository urls. If Im wrong please correct me.
