    Modem problem

    hi, My name Wahyu
    new to linux love to use foss
    i have a new installation ubuntu precise 12.04.1
    I format my hdd and have ubuntu only os in my acer aspire 4739
    Problem is my modem doesn't work in nm-applet
    i have downloaded(from another win xp) and install wvdialconf but it doesn't allow me to install .deb files so what i do is manually copy it files with sudo nautilus open .deb files in file roller and copy the files to folder location as i see in file roller folder name (Is this the right way to install?)
    but it still doesn't work
    yes i allready install its dependencies: debconf_1.5.42ubuntu1_all ; libc6_2.15-0ubuntu10_i386 ; libstdc++6_4.6.3-1ubuntu5_i386 ; libuniconf4.6_4.6.1-2build1_i386 ; libwvstream4.6-base_4.6.1-2build1_i386 ; libwvstreams4.6-extras_4.6.1-2build1_i386 ; network-config_0.2-1_all ; wvdial_1.61-4build1_i386 ; and edit wvdial.conf in etc/wvdial.conf based on what i found in google

    still doesn't detect my usb modem stick cyrus zte 21.6 mbps like this one http://www.cyruspad.com/product.php?id=24

    also i try to enter terminal :
    sudo wvdialconf
    got this : Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.

    Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

    Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
    Did you configure it properly with setserial?

    Please read the FAQ at http://alumnit.ca/wiki/?WvDial

    sudo wvdial
    got this :
    --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61
    --> Cannot open /dev/ttyACM0: No such file or directory

    It seems like your system is looking for the modem on a serial (com) port instead of usb. Have you tried a different usb port? Also, copying the files as you mentioned won't work. Why can't you install .deb files? What does it say when you try to? Or does simply nothing happen?

    Open the task manager and check if "polkit-gnome-authentication-agent" is running. If not, open the run dialog (alt f2) and type "usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1" (without the quotes) and try running the .deb file again.

    Re: Modem problem

    if you are having trouble with opening .deb files through the GUI package manager then maybe try using dpkg directly

    1. open a terminal
    2. cd to the directory containing the .deb file
    3. type

    Code:
    sudo dpkg -i name_of_file.deb
    Make sure any other package managers (Software Center and/or Synaptic) are closed first otherwise you will get a file lock error

    Re: Modem problem

    is the modem being detected in your lsusb and/or lshw?

    Code:
    lsusb
    Code:
    sudo lshw

    Re: Modem problem

    yes i already tried it lsusb
    it detected my usb modem stick got this list

    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
    Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
    Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0402:7675 ALi Corp.
    Bus 002 Device 003: ID 19d2:0154 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM

    but i think it's not necessary cause wvdialconf will detect it so i think thats no need lsusb
    lsusb only show me what is coneccted to my computer
    and lshw only show all of computer hardware

    any other suggestion?
