Where is chestnut dialer ?

[viking777]

Chestnut dialler is in synaptic OK although on my system it shows up under the 'New in Repository' heading so I suggest you reload Synaptic.

Maybe you misunderstood me. At the bottom left of synaptic click on 'Status' . At the top left you should see 'New in Repository' . For me it is in there.

I have Gloria Mint 7. I cannot find chestnut dialer and even tried to search for it in synaptic. I thought Chestnut dialer would come installed, but maybe since I have a ethernet port active it Mint did not think I needed it. Frank

Not sure I understand this question?
You can/cannot connect to the Internet or an external network Yes or No?

• You have a modem
  --that you need to dial to get connected to the Internet
• You must use chestnut dialer
  --instead of kppp or gnome network manager dial up support (ppp)

In terminal, check

With the default repositories installed by Linux mint 7-gloria 32 bit edition
chestnut, Chesnut, Ches or ches returns no result, same for apt search ches or Ches (in a terminal)
In terminal, check

• apt search Ches
  p 3dchess - 3D chess for X11
  p brutalchess - 3d chess with reflection of the chessmen
  mintuserID@mint ~ apt search Chest
