In the live cd mode wired PPPoE broadband does not work - Feedback and Suggestions Threads on LXLE forums

Raju_Linux

Is there any workaround to set up the network for a wired PPPoE broadband in the live cd mode of LXLE? I have tried to set it from sudo pppoeconf, but that does not work. Also tried to add a DSL from network manager according to this Ubuntu guidance http://askubuntu.com/questions/100489/how-to-set-up-a-broadband-connection. This also did not work. But the same method works fine with peppermint 4 in live cd mode. Is it a bug? Please guide me. Thanks in advance.

Did you try installing pppoe?

sudo apt-get install pppoe

lxle

Is your modem being recognized by the system?

In terminal
lspci

It cannot install pppoe by the command sudo apt-get install pppoe. It tries to connect us.ubuntu.etc. and fails.

The output of the second command is shown below -

Ok, the pppoe package is not installed. Please see the output below,

lxle120432@lxle120432:~$ dpkg -s pppoe

Package `pppoe' is not installed and no info is available.

Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,

and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.

and under the command sudo apt-get install pppoe

it tries to contact us.archive.ubuntu.com and fails.

lxle

you'll have to get it connected to the internet somehow before you can install that package.

Exactly that is my question - how may I connect to a wired PPPoE broadband internet in the live cd mode of LXLE? Is it something that it cannot be done in live cd mode?

lxle

If you have an ethernet connection there is nothing you have to do besides plug in the cord. I'm not overly familiar with pppoe anymore.. perhaps you also want to check the firewall.

Solved it by chance. Here goes the steps on how to configure the network manager to connect a wired PPPoE broadband connection in LXLE Live CD mode.
Step 1. Move the cursor over the sign with two opposite arrows to check if "wired connection 1" is active.             Don't connect it to internet by clicking on it.
Step 2. Open "Configure VPN" from VPN connection. Click on the "DSL" tag.
Step 3. Click on the "Add" tag.
Step 4. Write user name and password at the corresponding boxes. Don't check the "Connect
            automatically" box. Click on the save menu.
Step 5. Check if "DSL connection 1" is available on the network manager menu. Click on it to connect.
Step 6. Open firefox to check if internet is working.

Till interested to learn the steps to set up the same connection from sudo pppoeconf.

Howdy, Stranger!
