Ubuntu
gnome-ppp package

Must I always use Gnome-ppp as a super-user?

Asked by jkohler2

Gnome-PPP is an excellent dial-up program which allows me to connect to the
internet when no high speed wired or wireless connection is available to me.

It has required a couple of changes that I must make to use it, however.

First, I must remove a faulty modemmanager:

sudo apt-get remove modem manager

Second, Gnome-PPP is not available from the Applications>Internet>Gnome-PPP menu;

I have to use Applications>Accessories>Terminal window and the command line: sudo gnome-ppp.
Then I can log in using dial up to my ISP with my id/password in the resulting window.

I like the application and hope for some changes.

run alacarte and edit or add an item in the menu to run:

gksudo gnome-ppp

You can now run it without needing to fire up the terminal. You can even add the item to the panel / desktop.

Can you help with this problem?
