Make sure you have already checked the

following:</p>
<p class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>Can you dialup to your ISP without using KPPP?  If you cannot, then perhaps KPPP is not the culprit after

all.</p></li><li><p>Have you gone through the KPPP documentation

and followed the instructions and troubleshooting

suggestions?</p></li></ul><p>The KPPP handbook is available through the

TDE Help Center.</p><p>If you still encounter problems, then the following might help:</p>
<p class="variablelist"><dl><dt><I>How do I change the MTU setting in KPPP?</I></dt><dd><p>Open up the KPPP dialog box and select

Setup. Choose an existing account and click

Edit, or New to create a

new dialup account. Select the Dial tab and

click Arguments. Type what you want to change

in the Argument textbox (e.g. <strong class="userinput"><code>mtu 296</code></strong>) and

click Add. When you are satisfied, click

Close.</p><p>To check whether the options took, do one of the following:</p>
<p class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>In a terminal window, run

<strong class="userinput"><code><strong class="command">/sbin/ifconfig</strong> ppp0</code></strong> and look

at the reported MTU in the output. It should match your

request.</p></li><li><p>Add <code class="option">debug</code> and <code class="option">kdebug</code>

(each on a separate line) to your

<code class="filename">/etc/ppp/options</code> file and restart your

PPP session. You will find debugging messages in

<code class="filename">/var/log/messages</code>, including MRU and MTU

settings.</p></li></ul><p>If you want, the MRU and MTU settings can be added to the

<code class="filename">options</code> file, one complete setting per line, no

quotes or dashes.</p></dd><dt><I>KPPP connects at a slower speed than

normal.</I></dt><dd><p>The following might do the trick:</p>
<p class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>Try executing <strong class="command">setserial

spd_hi</strong>.</p></li><li><p>The default MTU value is 1500,

which maybe too large

for a dialup connection. Try changing it to a smaller value like

<strong class="userinput"><code>296</code></strong>

or <strong class="userinput"><code>576</code></strong>.</p></li><li><p>Check in your <code class="filename">$<code class="envar">HOME</code>/.trinity/share/config</code> for the

<code class="filename">kppprc</code>. Ensure the correct modem speed is

actually defined there.</p></li></ul></dd></dl></td></tr><tr class="question"><td align="left" valign="top"><a name="idm140487997539488"></a><a name="idm140487997539168"></a><b>11.2.</b></td><td align="left" valign="top"><p>Konsole</p></td></tr><tr class="answer"><td align="left" valign="top"><b></b></td><td align="left" valign="top">

anything else?</I></dt><dd><p>Use the mouse to select the desired text. From the

Edit menu, select Copy, or press

<strong class="keycap">Ctrl</strong>+<strong class="keycap">Shift</strong>+<strong class="keycap">C</strong>. This places

the text in the TDE clipboard, Klipper. Next select

the target application, place the mouse pointer to the

desired location and press <strong class="keycap">Ctrl</strong>+<strong class="keycap">V</strong>.

Alternately, highlight the text by dragging with the left mouse button down and

paste by clicking with the middle mouse button (or both buttons if you are using a

2 button mouse with 3 button emulation).

</p>
<p class="note" ><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>Note that the copying and pasting keyboard shortcuts use the

<strong class="keycap"><strong class="keycap">Shift</strong></strong> key. That is because in traditional Unix terminals,

<strong class="keycap">Ctrl</strong>+<strong class="keycap">C</strong> is used to break or stop

a process from running.</p></dd><dt><I>Why can't Konsole find the 9x15 and the 2

console bitmap fonts installed with TDE?</I></dt><dd><p>FontConfig must find the three fonts

installed in: <code class="filename">$<code class="envar">TDEDIR</code>/share/fonts</code>.

 If

the TDE install does not install these fonts in a directory that

already exists (e.g. <code class="filename">/usr/share/fonts</code>) then you must add this

directory to the configuration file <code class="filename">/etc/fonts/local.conf</code>. This should be

the first line after &lt;fontconfig&gt;. For example:

<pre class="programlisting">

&lt;fontconfig&gt;

&lt;dir&gt;/usr/trinity/share/fonts&lt;/dir&gt;

&lt;/fontconfig&gt;

</pre>

After adding the directory, run (as root):

<strong class="userinput"><code><strong class="command">fc-cache</strong> -v</code></strong> and check that

it found the directory.</p></dd></dl></td></tr></tbody></table><table width="100%" class="bottom-nav"><tr><td width="33%" align="left" valign="top" class="navLeft"><a href="configure.php">Prev</a></td><td width="34%" align="center" valign="top" class="navCenter"><a href="index.php">Home</a></td><td width="33%" align="right" valign="top" class="navRight"><a href="sound.php">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="33%" align="left" class="navLeft">Configuring TDE</td><td width="34%" align="center" class="navCenter"><a href="index.php">Up</a></td><td width="33%" align="right" class="navRight">Troubleshooting sound problems</td></tr></table>
