the bug (and reason, and possibile resolution): Kppp logs are taked from syslog specific files: /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog, /var/log/syslog.ppp . If they aren't present (exa: you are using a different logger), cause errors and impossibility to debug. RESOLUTIONS: make kppp to take errors code and debug info directly from pppd (stndOUT,stndERR, etc..?) instead of /var/log/ files.. REPRODUCIBLE: Always Version of the software: 2.1.2-any, kde 3.1.4 Step to reproduce: Above notes should be sufficient I think this bug should be sent to the kde upstream. Yes, my english is evil too...
I like this one. I'd like to see them jump the hoops to do it, but I got money against it. Besides, the ppp/chat transfers get logged in whatever logger's version of /var/log/debug (except for metalog, which I think still go to /var/log/kernel). I had a suggestion about sed'ing the source to accomodate the users logger facility, but then I actually thought about it:)
>I think this bug should be sent to the kde upstream. Why don't you send it yourself to bugs.kde.org? This is not a bug, but a wish, btw. We really don't have the man power to forward wishes.
