=== lindalou is now known as westmi [00:55] I am currently using iptables, however after a restart, my iptables list gets wiped/cleaned from something (not sure what). Is there a place to put an iptables command to automatically be accepted/used/applied after a reboot? [00:56] I know I can use init.rc script, but I don't think that is the most secure/proper way of doing it. [00:56] GH0, #netfilter ; and please dont crosspost in ubuntu channels [00:57] Sorry, I figured it would have probably been better to ask here since I am using Kubuntu and not using Ubuntu. [00:58] I also have one other question. When I do "sudo kate" and open up a saved session I have. I have a couple of files that are always marked as R/O, even though if I nano or vi those same files I can commit changes. Why would kate refuse to let me write to file?

Never just use "sudo"! | See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to find out why [01:01] bazhang, alright, but I have been using it fine up until now. So why would it drastically change like that? [01:02] Also, kdesudo does work fine, just trying to figure out why it magically stopped working.

[05:02] What was happening was that if you try to mark any single kdepim package for upgrade, it would fail since you didn't tell it to upgrade the kdepim libraries [05:02] apt-get does this too, which is a bit weird since the resolver is usually good at this. we must have hit a corner case [05:02] QApt already fixes this later on by marking the kdepim libs for upgrade, but we never cleared the original error we got from apt's "error store" [05:03] so the QApt worker thought there was an error and bailed [05:03] I'm running a test upgrade with a fix to make sure things don't blow up, but so far it's downloading things nicely :P [05:16] sacarlson: have oth [05:16] have other program to do that ?

[08:30] madurax86: well, if you tell to firefox to use those apps, it will. Possibly there is a "global" solution but there you can certainly set them one by one [08:31] excognac what if I use xdg-open? [08:31] madurax86: but you have installed those apps, right? More precisely, which one are those? [08:32] excognac well the apps for opening zip files..etc now it just opens in file-roller but i want it to open it in ark..etc [08:34] madurax86: xdg-pen sounds correct [08:35] madurax86: *xdg-open [08:36] excognac :) [08:41] hi any1 there that could help me with something [08:41] metaladdict yes?

[11:05] not sure. i just used the kubuntu backports ppa to update to 4.8.1 [11:06] when my pc has booted I'll check what version I am running [11:06] isnt there some sort of release schedule they follow? [11:07] not sure, I think not, but I could be wrong [11:07] all i know is i was awaiting 4.8.1 for some fixes, and sure enough those certain things were fixed [11:07] kde 4.8.2 has been released yesterday [11:07] nvm, they do have a schedule: http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.8_Release_Schedule [11:08] brenty, you're lucky. I'm waiting for fixes that will certainly never happen [11:08] wow. so give it some time and it will show up in the kubuntu backports for 11.10 [11:09] hey did they fix the network manager in 12.04 yet? last time i took it for a spin i couldnt bluetooth tether with it [11:16] does someone use kmail here?

[11:24] brenty, do you mean do-release-upgrade? [11:24] gribouille, why do you NEED it anyway? [11:25] lordievader, I don't need it. I just hope it will fix a few bugs [11:25] gribouille, like what bugs? [11:25] i guess. dont fancy me doing it tho. the network manager in 11.10 works for bluetooth tethering. doesnt work in 12.04 yet. i like sharing my phones connection with the laptop!

I'm mostly looking for up-to-date documentation telling me what to do. [13:49] Aprogas: doesn't work out of the box? [13:50] I'm completely new, so maybe I just don't know where to look. I'm expecting either the desktop or netbook KDE plasma shell to have some GUI to select wireless networks and such. [13:50] It might work with command-line tools, but I'm not really looking for that. [13:51] Aprogas: well if you click on the network icon you should have this [13:51] http://wstaw.org/m/2012/04/05/plasma-desktopBR5923.png [13:52] I'll try rebooting. During boot, something said something about waiting 60 seconds for a network to come up. Maybe not being connected to anything, caused some stuff to not be loaded. [13:52] I don't even see that network icon, although I have seen it before in VirtualBox on my test-install. [13:53] Aprogas: let me see your desktop [13:53] do a screenshot [13:53] I'm currently still booting. [13:57] http://i.imgur.com/oOMEf.jpg [13:57] Silly imgur converting to JPEG again.

[14:00] Aprogas: http://wstaw.org/m/2012/04/05/plasma-desktopuZ5923.png [14:00] I don't have that in my widget list. What is the package name? [14:01] The only widget matching to "network" is "Network Monitor", "wifi" and "wireless" give no matches. [14:01] Aprogas: http://wstaw.org/m/2012/04/05/plasma-desktoppR6146.png [14:02] Aprogas, what about networkmanager [14:03] I'm installing the plasma widget now. [14:04] The install of Kubuntu on my laptop went differently than in VirtualBox. [14:05] On my laptop it asked me which packages to install, I chose "OpenSSH Server" and "Kubuntu Desktop" and "Manual selection" but in the manual selection, I didn't change anything and just exited. [14:05] Now I seem to have dragged something around in my plasma that I shouldn't. [14:06] The systray icons are behind a transparent "$x running apps" [14:08] Aprogas: that becuase you are lackin of some packages [14:08] Lacking packages causes the plasma items to overlay on eachother? [14:09] Aprogas: nope [14:09] Aprogas: screenshot? [14:09] I already fixed it by dragging stuff around again. [14:09] Aprogas: you would run plasma-desktop instead of plasma-mobile [14:09] or plasma-netbook [14:10] Although I seem to have some placeholder-empty-box now. [14:10] I'm still doubting between desktop and netbook. [14:10] plasma-desktop [14:12] This screen is only 11.6" or so.
