You're missing the pynotify module, but u also said that you managed to install it.

I installed all the packages referred to below:

Well, there's no python-notify for Dapper I'm afraid:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/dapper-backports/+bug/102900

You can compile it yourself:
http://galago-project.org/files/releases/source/

install libnotify, notification-daemon and python-notify, you will need at least python-dev to install all this.

Another solution would be to upgrade to Edgy :)

But I still get the same error as before.

Whats the output of "dpkg -L python-notify" ?
Click to expand...

Code: 
root@sky-desktop:/usr/src/notify-python-0.1.1# dpkg -L python-notify
Package `python-notify' is not installed.
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
root@sky-desktop:/usr/src/notify-python-0.1.1#

After a search for the file pynotify on my system, the following files were found:
pynotifymodule.c
pynotify.c
pynotify.override
pynotify.defs.

then you havent installed it, you're in the src dir, compile it, install it, and u should be done
 
PMarti: the GUI only hangs on "Authenticating ..." sometimes; E620 firmware version is 11.16.09.06.19. Thanks for a great alternative to wvdial commands!

Well thank you all for testing this software, I'll be happy when one of you guys confirm that has been able to connect to Internet successfully :D

For now, whenever that hangs happens, you better reset your card and start again. Sorry for the inconvenience, but this bug in Huawei's firmware is annoying

Libraries have been installed in:

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

The PC store that used to be there closed down:( Now that store is a hair salon.

So it seems like I will just have to wait.
 
Yes, I can confirm that it is now working - three days without using wvdial on the command line. Thanks to Vodafone Spain!

I'm glad to hear that is working for ya :) I'm sure that if you share the tweaks that you've done to the template you'll make happy loads of people ;)
 
No tweaks in the template - all I changed was to set the APN host to 'internet' and set static DNS addresses ... ? Is everyone else still struggling?
 
Connected but no DNS!

Hi,

I've finally got connected to the Vodacom SA network using the linux mobile driver. I'm using a Huaweia E620 card, running under Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. I downloaded the .deb RC2 package and installed it without problems.

I set the preferences up with APN host set to "internet" and static DNS server names deselected. I have set my sim card not to check for a password so I left the username and password blank. This prevented me from connecting but did not give me a reason why. Once I set the username and password to "random" it connected perfectly.

I am still having a problem resolving names, I thought during connection setup the network would send the address of the DNS servers but clearly not. Does anyone know the address for the DNS server in the Vodacom 3G network so I can set it up manually?

Other, thanks pmarti for this brilliant software.
 
Now it all works

Courtesy of a previous post by v3Gout I found:

DNS servers manually assigned as:

nameserver 196.207.32.69
nameserver 196.43.45.190

Sorts the DNS out.

Hi richgod,

I'm glad that is working for you :)

Do not forget that the username and password have nothing to do with your SIM card. It would be just password in that case ;). They actually are the username & password that your ISP (Vodacom I guess) provided you to connect to Internet. The reason the "random" username worked is because usually ISPs allow any username/password you send them
 
For your info - the DNS servers I have configured are:

196.207.32.69 (dns2-vop.3g.vodacom.co.za)
196.43.1.11 (rrba-ip-dns-3.saix.net)

Your
196.43.45.190 (tpr-ip-dns-4.saix.net)
should work OK too.
