Network problem with PPPoE-connection
Problem: Xbian cannot connect to the Internet.
Basic info: Code: XBMC version: XBMC 12.0-RC1 Git:2012212-afbae11 (Compiled Dec 13 2012). Additional info: I have a PPPoE-connection, whichh requires username and password. I cannot seem to find a place where I could do this on the Xbian. Contents of /etc/network/interfaces: Code: auto lo Other: I had the same problem on the "Raspbian wheezy", which I solved by installing "pppoeconf" from a USB-stick. However, I cannot install it for Xbian because of dependency errors such as: Code: pppoeconf : Depends: gettext-base (>= 0.13) but it is not installable The solution: A network-manager software, which supports PPPoE-connections (is there any?) Would I get it working by installing ppoeconf on the "wheezy" and copying the contents of "/etc/network/interfaces"-file to the Xbian's file? Or it doesn't really work like that? Any help is greatly appreciated. PS: I have tried xbian-config, but it only has two options for LAN and neither one of them "works" for my issue. |

RE: Network problem with PPPoE-connection
Thanks for your answer Koenkk, however, this does not solve my issue.
As I cannot connect to the Internet, I cannot download any files through apt-get update or with apt-get install pppoeconf. Either way, thanks to your screenshot, I can now see what files I was missing (libasprintf0c2_0.18.1.1-9_armhf.deb and gettext-base_0.18.1.1-9_armhf.deb). I can now download them from another computer (where I have a working Internet connection) and store them on the USB-stick. I can then install the files through the USB-stick to the Xbian. The pppoeconf doesn't seem to show text for me, but that is fine, since I know what it should say. I have now successfully configured my PPPoE-connection and it works! I really appreciate the time you took to help me. Thank you once again! The moderators can now mark this as solved. |
