Trying to emerge rp-pppoe on a Gentoo 1.4-r1 I obtain a ACCESS VIOLATION. In the file /tmp/sandbox-rp-pppoe-3.4-r1-xxxx.log I found: open_wr: /dev/ppp. I got thi problem with a 2.4.19 stock kernel with and without the PPPoE kernel driver compiled into the kernel. I solved the problem disabling the sandbox check with this command: export SANDBOX_DISABLED=1
http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=4651&action=view could you try that ebuild out and see if it works for you ?
Did you build ppp, ppp_sync, ppp_async etc as modules or in the kernel ? I'm afraid the patch I've done won't change a thing if those were built-in... (And then, I've no explanation for the bug) I assume (and I hope !) that you've built them as modules. Did you try to emerge it twice ? (without rebooting of course) From my experience, it should work without disabling sandbox, with the standard rp-pppoe ebuild from /usr/portage the second time, which is quite understandable, but I'm not sure at all the error you encountered is exactly the same as the one I did. To make the test more complete with the ebuild SpanKY cited : please make sure before emerging, or re-emerging rp-pppoe to remove pppoe, pppox modules or every other ppp module that is unused. Now if it still fails : try adding these two lines to the http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=4651&action=view ebuild mv configure.in configure.in.back sed configure.in.back -e 's/modprobe/#modprobe/' > configure.in and try again. Have a look at bug 8946 too. I'll add my email as CC. Keep us informed of your tests.
Hi Pierre, I had success into emerge the rp-pppoe package with the ebuild you sent me, so your patch works in the following situation: - kernel 2.4.19 - ppp modules compiled into the kernel (not as modules) - pppoe compiled ainto the kernel Not tried other solution (eg. emerge twice, removing ppp modules because I've no ppp/pppoe modules, etc.) Thanks
Similar issue here. Demand is always the default "no" here set by rp-pppoe I see in pap secrets that the user name is "" This was not the case for r7 which works. I notice that pap-secrets contains some control char (editing the username while using adsl-setup) "1073655^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[D^[ etc... r9 shows the correct user name on the screen as a prompt but in the resume it is blank as in pap-secrets. Since the passwd is not shown either this may be thought to be normal behaviour by the use and be overlooked. The login does work with the cntl-chars in pap so I was unaware of this until I tried to debug rp-pppoe r9 HTH
