Ixconn on ubuntu 12.04. if it doesnt work for you.

[acidspoof]

For clarity I'm using an ubuntu derivative called LuninuX OS http://luninuxos.com/ its pretty sweet ! This Is what I had to do to get ixconn working on my installation , maybe this will help someone facing similar problems.by now I'm assuming you've fully installed ixconn and whatnot.
First of all canonical removed Users and Groups which would enable you to change the groups the current user is in, you could use usermod but eeehh! this can be fixed by installing gnome system tools , in terminal

Code: Alles auswählen

sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools

,after which you check use modem and anything that has modem in it, that is the first problem solved, the second problem I faced is that ixconn would "connect" but it would do nada! only pinging 8.8.8.8 would work, I fixed this by doing

Code: Alles auswählen

 sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

,you should see

Code: Alles auswählen

# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 127.0.0.1

Do this

Code: Alles auswählen

# Generated by NetworkManager
#nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8

^google dns.alright now try it again. thats what worked for me !cheers !
