Hi, I'm installing debian 1.2 on a Thinkpad 701CS, and I'm having a few problems maybe you could help with.
I got the base system installed ok, but now I'm having trouble completing the installation via ftp. I connected once, but the second time is proving to be a challenge. Here's the latest of my /var/adm/ppp.log files: **************SNIP****************** Apr 27 11:53:23 tweety chat[2947]: abort on (NO CARRIER) Apr 27 11:53:23 tweety chat[2947]: abort on (BUSY) Apr 27 11:53:23 tweety chat[2947]: send (ATZ^M) Apr 27 11:53:23 tweety chat[2947]: expect (OK) Apr 27 11:53:25 tweety chat[2947]: ATZ^M^M Apr 27 11:53:25 tweety chat[2947]: OK -- got it Apr 27 11:53:25 tweety chat[2947]: send (ATDT687-3945^M) Apr 27 11:53:25 tweety chat[2947]: expect (CONNECT) Apr 27 11:53:25 tweety chat[2947]: ^M Apr 27 11:53:41 tweety chat[2947]: ATDT687-3945^M^M Apr 27 11:53:41 tweety chat[2947]: CONNECT -- got it Apr 27 11:53:41 tweety chat[2947]: send (^M) Apr 27 11:53:41 tweety chat[2947]: expect (sername:) Apr 27 11:53:41 tweety chat[2947]: 38400/REL^M Apr 27 11:53:41 tweety chat[2947]: ^P^U1^M=5^U^A"=^A Apr 27 11:54:26 tweety chat[2947]: +V:%^U^K^W^A*4I^?^U^Q^A^ZU^IM^MI%^I^UI^AV,^AK^K)(^P%9^U^A~^A(!M^UI^AV,^A2^V.^M^EQ%=9&(!I9^E5^Uiy.5^U^A"%5^U=UQ^AA%I^U^Q^E(U.^E5^Uiy Apr 27 11:54:26 tweety chat[2947]: alarm Apr 27 11:54:26 tweety chat[2947]: Failed Apr 27 12:17:03 tweety chat[596]: abort on (NO CARRIER) Apr 27 12:17:03 tweety chat[596]: abort on (BUSY) Apr 27 12:17:03 tweety chat[596]: send (ATZ^M) Apr 27 12:17:03 tweety chat[596]: expect (OK) Apr 27 12:17:05 tweety chat[596]: ATZ^M^M Apr 27 12:17:05 tweety chat[596]: OK -- got it Apr 27 12:17:05 tweety chat[596]: send (ATDT687-3945^M) Apr 27 12:17:05 tweety chat[596]: expect (CONNECT) Apr 27 12:17:05 tweety chat[596]: ^M Apr 27 12:17:21 tweety chat[596]: ATDT687-3945^M^M Apr 27 12:17:21 tweety chat[596]: CONNECT -- got it Apr 27 12:17:21 tweety chat[596]: send (^M) Apr 27 12:17:21 tweety chat[596]: expect (sername:) Apr 27 12:17:21 tweety chat[596]: 38400/REL^M Apr 27 12:17:22 tweety chat[596]: ^P^U1^M=5^U^A"=^A Apr 27 12:18:06 tweety chat[596]: +V:%%Q%9=I^?i^U^Q^A^ZU^IM^MI%^I^UI^AV,.^P1e9(^X%9^U^A~^A(!M^UI^AV,^A2^V.^M^EQ%=9$((U.^E5^Uiy.^E5^U^A"%5^U=UQ^AA%I^U^Q^E(U.5^Uiy Apr 27 12:18:06 tweety chat[596]: alarm Apr 27 12:18:06 tweety chat[596]: Failed **************SNIP******************* As you can see, when my script expects 'sername:' it seems to be getting the line speed and there's no indication of a password having been received. My guess is there's something wrong with the timing or synchronization of the 'expect' and the 'got it'. The script I'm using comes from the ISP itself (someone there is a Linux afficianado). It worked before I did my first install after the 7 disk base install. My question is: Does the output above mean that there IS a synch problem and that I need to fiddle with the 'wait' or 'sleep' commands in my script? The normal sequence for connecting with my ISP is : enter username: enter password: CS> # They want 'ppp default' here Then it should just go right into a ppp session. Perhaps there's another ppp service that's needed like PAP authentication or something? Please let me know if you need more info. TIA! __ _ David S.
