Thread: vnstat won't play with new usb dongle

-

i use vnstat keep track of data transfer usage. started use usb 3g dongle (which ubuntu likes call "eth1"), , vnstat refuses play it.

code:
t0p@mars:~$ vnstat -d -i eth1 error: unable read database "/var/lib/vnstat/eth1".
i thought maybe /var/lib/vnstat/eth1 directory missing because started using dongle after installing vnstat. went through this palaver:

code:
t0p@mars:~$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/vnstat/eth1 t0p@mars:~$ vnstat -d -i eth1 error: unable open backup database "/var/lib/vnstat/.eth1". t0p@mars:~$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/vnstat/.eth1 t0p@mars:~$ vnstat -d -i eth1 error: database load failed when using backup. aborting.
anyone know i'm going wrong? cheers.
