Gnome PPP problems

[havoc89]

Hi guys I have problems with Gnome PPP so I hope one of you can help me. I am using Ubuntu 9.04 and want to setup a dial-up connection. My modem is conexant and I have installed all drivers that it requiers. I have also installed Gnome PPP. When I try to connect to internet with gnome ppp it connects successfully but after 5-7 seconds it disconnects. I looked in gnome ppp dial log and it gives the following message:

--> PPP negotiation detected.
--> Starting pppd at Sun Jul 18 16:06:32 2010
--> Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
--> --> PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) may be flaky.
--> Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/chap-secrets: Permission denied
--> --> CHAP (Challenge Handshake) may be flaky.
--> Pid of pppd: 3500
--> Disconnecting at Sun Jul 18 16:06:32 2010
--> The PPP daemon has died: pppd options error (exit code = 2)
--> man pppd explains pppd error codes in more detail.
--> I guess that's it for now, exiting
--> The PPP daemon has died. (exit code = 2)

I don't know how to solve this problem please help me.

Hello,
Gnome ppp is set in "stupid mode"?
Set to yes,
if this is not so can cause disconnections.

Can be aconfiguration mistake because:
man pppd
EXIT STATUS
The exit status of pppd is set to indicate whether any error was detected, or the reason for the link being terminated. The values used are:
[...]
2 An error was detected in processing the options given, such as two mutually exclusive options being used.
[...]

and "/etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied":
this seems a permissions problem.

I found the solution.

Just launch this command in terminal : gksudo gnome-ppp

It works.
