Discover Ubuntu

I realised that there is a small error on the tutorial by the blog I made a link to.

Where it says “sudo gedit etc/wvdial.conf” you need to put a “/” in front of “etc” so that it looks like this: “sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf” – otherwise you end up creating a file which is useless to you.

Okay, now instead of leaving Terminal open with your “sudo wvdial” command running. Make a link to the wvdial file itself.

Do this:

• Right click on your “Application Menu”
• Select “edit Menus”
• Then click on the “Internet” section under Applications
• On the right hand side you’ll see “+ New Item”, click on it
• Next to name write whatever you want to call it, I wrote “Connect to Internet”
• Click on the browse button next to “Command”
• Go to “File System”, “usr”, “bin” and type “wvdial” to find the file
• Select the “wvdial” file and click on “Open”
• Then, if you like, you can add a comment, I left it blank
• Now click on the picture of the spring-board at the top left of the window to select the icon you want to use
• And then click “Okay”
• Select “Close” and your link to wvdial should be in your “Applications” menu under “Internet”
• Now you don’t need to leave the terminal open when you’re using the internet!
