Good news re HSDPA/3G for Linux

Hi Joaer

Thank you so much for your reply. Put in what you suggested and this is what came up

Copying files to /opt/vmc...
Configuring the system...
groupadd: group vmc exists
Installing direct access...
Insert users allowed to use this application (space separated): "user"
id: "user": No such user
Invalid user "user"

Installation complete!

Use vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux command or the direct access in your Internet menu in order to run the application.
[user@localhost Downloads]$

I then typed in the run box 'sudo vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux' and the vodafone symbol comes up and a box with a penguin comes on and a blue light flashes back and forth at the bottom and it states authenticating and nothing it just hangs there nothing happens.

 

Are you running as "root" when you set it up?

 

Hi dippergt750

Sorry I dont know what you mean, running via root? I press ALT+F2 which brings up the RUN PROGRAM feature then I tick run THE RUN IN TERMINAL and then press RUN which then brings up the TERMINAL BOX, in here I type
CODE
cd Downloads
chmod 755 vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux-2.0.beta3-ALL-i386-installer.run
sudo ./vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux-2.0.beta3-ALL-i386-installer.run

Then it runs ok says everything is good and then it states 'insert users allowed to use this application' I then type "users" as advised and it states 'no such user'

I dont think I am ever going to get this to work.

 

i would recommend u do a complete CLEAN rebuild - sometimes it's better to start clean
Don't loose hope m8y - u should have a CD u can use on another laptop to build a USB bootable image and then u can rebuild the laptop and start a fresh

Imagine if we could do that with our lives
Good luck

 

As I recall it's "user" you should be entering (ie, not "users" - and don't enter the inverted commas)
