ppp service not starting after reset

[Nicolas Alberto]

Hi,
I have the cellular model and have used this page to start the internet connection via cellular connection using this page

Cellular Connection

and

Start Cell Connection on Boot

All worked well until I did a factory reset using the button in front of the conduit.

When I try setting up the ppp connection all works well and I can get internet connection. But if I do a reboot the ppp service will not start automatically despite having done the steps described in

Start Cell Connection on Boot

The file /var/log/boot shows a line about starting the ppp service without errors but the service is not started unless I mannually start it with
/etc/init.d/ppp start

Is that a permission issue?
Can you please help?

Thanks 🙂

I am getting the same issue. Is there a resolution of this issue?

I get the following error.

Starting up PPP link: pppd/usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/options: unrecognized option ‘/dev/modem_at0’

Try that

Edit the init file for ppp service that starts the cellular connection
nano /etc/init.d/ppp
Add this line just before line 15 where you see “/etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot”
sleep 30
This make the script wait a little before starting the ppp_on_boot script. I had an issue without this extra line and the service was not starting at boot time.
Save the file

Now this makes the ppp service start at boot time
update-rc.d ppp defaults
