kPPP: pppd daemon died unexpectedly
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Versions since 6.0
Symptom:
After dialing with kPPP the error message occurs: "The pppd daemon died
unexpectedly"
Cause:
kPPP as well as the PPP demon itself try to lock the modem device. But only the
first one is allowed to do so, in this case it is kPPP.
Solution:
Please edit the file /etc/ppp/options and disable the option "lock" by using
comment sign #. The line should look like this:
# lock
