Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 7.1
This article refers to an older version of SuSE Linux. Therefore some of the informations given in this article may be outdated or the article may contain stale links.

Symptom:

If you leave YAST - System Administration - Network Configuration - Configure a PPP network without making changes or without saving them using the [Esc] key it is impossible to do "Configure a PPP network" again and you get the error message
yast: AsciiFile.cc:373: class String & AsciiFile::operator [](int): Assertion `Lines_C.valid( Idx_iv )' failed.

Solution:

Call the PPP network configuration directly as user root using the command
wvdial.lxdialog
do some changings and save them - then it is possible to call the PPP network configuration via YaST again.
