Tm_Toh nice05:09
Tm_Tdependency mess on upgrade continues http://paste.kde.org/529538/05:09
valoriebummer, Tm_T05:22
Tm_Thad to manually install ibkateinterfaces and kde-runtime packages, will proceed manually installing rest of the conflicting packages05:25
Tm_Tyeah, feeding the packages to dpkg manually does the trick05:26
Tm_Tstrange though05:26
* valorie had no issues05:34
valorieexcept kmix had a sekret channel muted05:34
valoriewhich muted ALL sound05:34
valorieuntil I found the damn thing05:34
Tm_Tyeah, finally upgraded to 4.9.006:08
valorie\o/06:08
Tm_Tmy window decoration is suddenly back to KDE default, and if I try to enter to windeco kcm, kcm crashes06:08
valorieicky06:08
Tm_Ta-ha! kde-artwork and its window decorations didn't update apparently06:13
Tm_Tand the old windecos from there are not compatible06:14
Tm_Teither have to fix those windecos on upstream or have to make kdelibs from 4.9 to conflict with those windecos I suppose06:17
ScottKshadeslayer: Perhaps of all the rdepends are tested.06:38
Tm_Tvalorie: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30464507:06
ubottuKDE bug 304645 in general "KDE 4.9.0 kwindecoration kcm crashes on start" [Crash,New]07:06
valorieI'll have to say, I don't think I've ever messed with kwindecorations07:14
valorieand it doesn't crash for me07:17
Tm_Tyup, has something to do with old windecos07:23
Tm_Taaand found it07:25

ubottuKDE bug 301646 in decorations "kwindecoration crashes" [Crash,Reopened] http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30164609:18
Riddellpresumably what DoctorPepper was talking about last night09:18
Tm_Tlooks like there's lots of hassle and uncleaniness with old windecos and KDE 4.9.009:28
tsdgeos/usr/lib/libkdecorations.so.4.8.0 <-- not kde 4.909:41
Tm_Ttsdgeos: where?09:48
tsdgeosiin that bug09:48
Tm_Ttsdgeos: still, have you tried building kdeartwork windecos on KFR 4.9.0? atleast last time I tried most of them failed09:49
tsdgeosworks like a charm here09:49
tsdgeosall packages build before releasing them09:50
Tm_Thmm, I wonder if something has changed recently then (:09:50
tsdgeosTm_T: anyway i expect people to report errors if they found them, not silently ignore the09:54
tsdgeosm09:54
tsdgeoscollaboration yadda yadda yadda09:54
Tm_Tyup09:54
Tm_TI've reported (:09:54
Tm_Told windecos are lacking maintainership09:55
tsdgeosyou reported to the wrong place09:55
tsdgeosif tarballs don't build09:55
tsdgeosrelease-team needs to know09:55
Tm_TI don't build tarballs, but from git/svn/etc09:55
Tm_Tunfortunately my time with KDE has been limited to triggering kdesrc-build and then forget it /:09:56
tsdgeosthen don't complain :-)09:57
Tm_Tmy intention isn't to complain, just state my observation (:10:04
tsdgeosTm_T: sure10:08

apachelogger_anyone ever worked with debian/control.in files?10:38
apachelogger_was wondering if the mighty toolset needs a debian/control when building the source package or whether there is a trick to make it execute a rules target to get that file10:39
apoljtechidna: ping10:40
Riddellapachelogger_: control.in is evil, does anyone still use it?10:52
apachelogger_I do :P10:52
apachelogger_because dpkg is so insanely complex and yet fails to address use cases10:52
Riddella debian/control will be needed, I think it works by recreating itself at the appropriate time10:53
apachelogger_yah, was just wondering10:54
apachelogger_buildpackage seems to try accessing control early on10:54
apachelogger_though it laters calls clean which is where you'd do the auto-update10:54
Riddelllike I say, evil10:57

BluesKajHi folks10:59
shadeslayerdebfx: uhm did you use 0.4.0ubuntu2 on purpose?11:07
shadeslayerfor meta-kde-telepathy11:07
shadeslayerdebfx: just to shut up lintian maybe?11:13
apachelogger_shadeslayer: we have a policy of our natives simply having ubuntuN appended11:19
apachelogger_as that is the only proper version of ubuntu moditifcations to natives11:19
shadeslayeraha ok11:19
* shadeslayer just wanted to make sure before uploading11:19
shadeslayerapachelogger_: is this outlined somewhere btw?11:19
apachelogger_not sure11:19
apachelogger_discussed it on the ML11:20
apachelogger_all natives have that so I'd suppose one can notice that fact easily :P11:20
apachelogger_apparenlty not easily enough11:20
shadeslayeralrighty11:20
shadeslayer:P11:20
shadeslayerapachelogger_: the change log had foo-0ubuntu1 entries as well, so I was a bit confused11:21
apachelogger_perhaps it was non-native at some point11:22
shadeslayermeta-kde-telepathy-0.4.1.0ubuntu1 < sounds good right?11:22
apachelogger_shadeslayer: suppose11:22
apachelogger_shadeslayer: what's debian's version?11:23
shadeslayer0.4.011:24
apachelogger_why .1?11:24
shadeslayerin master that is11:24
shadeslayerapachelogger_: that's because we have the bug fix release in the archives11:24
shadeslayerand Quintasan forgot to update the meta package11:24
apachelogger_shadeslayer: do not bump versions on packages that are not ours11:25
shadeslayerapachelogger_: huh?11:25
apachelogger_the part before ubuntuN is not ours to change :P11:25
shadeslayerbut then the package version is all screwy11:26
apachelogger_it is already11:26
shadeslayer0.4.0ubuntu1 will pull in 0.4.1 packages11:26
apachelogger_versioning a meta package after what it's metaing is fucked up11:26
shadeslayersigh11:26
apachelogger_what if a part of ktp gets a release some day bu tthe other does not (for lack of change)11:26
apachelogger_what do you version it then?11:26
shadeslayertrue11:26
apachelogger_.300+.301+really30111:27
shadeslayernope, .300+.301+upstream_is_screwing_with_us11:27
apachelogger_~noreallywearescrewingwithyoutoo1+thisisactually30011:28
apachelogger_actually we should uplaod a version like that some time ^^11:28
apachelogger_april where are thou?11:28
shadeslayerheh11:28
shadeslayermeta-kde-telepathy-0.4.0ubuntu4 < alrighty then11:30
apachelogger_perfecto11:30
shadeslayermight I say, that version sucks11:31
* apachelogger_ needs a krunner for chrome tabs for he has like 50000 of them and can't find no nthing nowhere11:31
shadeslayerbah11:36
shadeslayerI don't have upload rights for this package11:36

DarkwingHey guys. :)11:43
shadeslayerdon't have upload rights11:43
shadeslayerDarkwing: hallo11:43
apachelogger_why do you not?11:43
shadeslayerbecause it's not the in the Kubuntu Packageset most likely11:43

shadeslayerand (wince)  I'm not a MOTU11:43
Darkwingoh cool... Went from UTC -7 to UTC -411:44
apachelogger_zomg, where is cj :O11:45
apachelogger_Riddell: cj does package set changes, doesn't he?11:46
shadeslayercj is forever busy11:48
debfxapachelogger_: yes, if you want to have a packageset changed you need to write an email to him11:48
shadeslayeratleast when I talk to him :P11:48
apachelogger_oho11:48
apachelogger_actually *all* of ktp is not in our packageset11:48
shadeslayerapachelogger_: yus11:48
apachelogger_shadeslayer: send him an email listing all the ktp plz11:48
shadeslayerapachelogger_: will do11:48
apachelogger_it it's not fixed next week apply for MOTU :P11:49
shadeslayeragateau: ok, so a slight issue with the ui file, when doing video calls, the error widget won't show up11:49
shadeslayerhaha :D11:49
shadeslayerdholbach keeps poking me about that11:49
apachelogger_shadeslayer: apply for motu regardless then11:49
shadeslayerapachelogger_: I don't do *alot* of Universe contributions, need to ramp that up before I apply11:50
* shadeslayer will start doing that today11:50
agateaushadeslayer: about to leave for lunch and errands, ping me back if you don't come back to you in 2 or 3 hours11:50
shadeslayersure11:50
apachelogger_shadeslayer: I'd think it has to do with the ability of doing universe work rather than having done it in the past :P11:52
apachelogger_considering all the universe are belong to us now I'd say there is ability and need :P11:53
shadeslayergood point11:53

jtechidnait's weird, but it looks like the test should test for that case now, but I can't reproduce it anymore13:05
BluesKajdunno if it's a kde 4.9 thing , but i seem to have an intermittent desktop, KB and mouse freeze problem linked to startup and shutdown, during either the splash screen loading or after I choose the "Leave" dialog. 13:10
BluesKajalso the screen freezes and these small wavy lines appear in darker coloured areas of the wallpaper/scene13:13
BluesKajat first I figured it might be the nvidia card failing or driver problems , but I can't recreate it on 12.04 with kde 4.9...this only happens on 12.10 with kde 4.913:15
apachelogger_12.10 has a different vesion of xorg13:21

ScottKRiddell: We aren't updating the dvd for 12.04.1, are we?17:44
shadeslayernever 4.917:44
ScottKBefore we consider 4.9 for the official backports repository, I'd like to know who volunteers to do 5 years of security support for it (which is three years after is' no longer supported in 12.10).17:45
ScottKIf you want 4.9 after 12.10 is released, I think you should use 12.10.17:46

Riddellmicahg: right, removing the dvd seed file is somewhere on my todo list19:02
micahgok, I won't worry about it then, thanks!19:03

Quintasan#!@!$#@!$19:53
ScottKRiddell: Is this the place you went in Nigeria: http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Making-a-difference/Change-Agent/2012/0806/A-modern-wired-university-grows-in-Nigeria19:53
QuintasanAnyone has any idea what value of Line Attenuation in my ADSL connection statistic would be okay?19:54
jtechidnaQuintasan: depends on what speed you think you should be getting, I guess20:03
Quintasanjtechidna: Ehh, when I have to set up a network in my house it feels like I'm in a strange land20:04
QuintasanNOTHING WORKS20:04
QuintasanI bought a new 8-port switch20:04
Quintasan10/100 mbps capable20:04
Quintasanand tried to replace my old 5-port godknowshowmany mpbs20:05
QuintasanI just plugged the new one in, plugged all the ethernet cables20:05
jtechidnaas long as you weren't using a hub :P20:05
Quintasanand shit doest work20:05
QuintasanI plug in the old one and it WORKS20:05
mikhasjtechidna, was just thinking that, too20:05
mikhasQuintasan, check with a cross-over cable if you have20:05
Quintasanhub?20:05
mikhashubs != switches20:06
jtechidnahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_hub20:06
Quintasangoddamn it I'm going to label all the cabels if they are crossed-over or not20:06
jtechidnabasically it sends all packets to everybody connected20:06
jtechidnainstead of packet routing20:06
Quintasan...20:06
Quintasanhmmm20:07
jtechidnait's what was used before switches20:07
Quintasan5-port Mini Jub20:07
QuintasanHub*20:07
* mikhas actually still travels with cross-over cables in the backpack20:07
mikhasalways prepared =p20:07
Quintasanjtechidna, mikhas: let me sketch the situation for you, maybe you understand anything from this mess20:08
jtechidnaas long as you don't have 70dB line attenuation you should at least get *something*20:11
Quintasanjtechidna: http://imgur.com/vcrSQ20:19
QuintasanI wanted to replace that 5-port mini hub with my brand new shiny 8-port switch but ffs I can't get anything to work20:20
QuintasanBe sure to zoom in the image20:20
ScottKIf you connect straight to the switch, does it work?20:21
RiddellScottK: not that one, I was in Kano, interesting though20:21
QuintasanScottK: If I connect what to the switch directly?20:22
ScottKQuintasan: Your PC20:22
ScottKIn your diagram it's connecting via the hub.20:22
QuintasanScottK: Yes it works right now, the point is that I can't copy anything via network because it's slow as hell and I can't connect my iMX to the internet either because there is some magic in the kernel driver that causes it not to work on 10mbps networks20:23
ScottKConnect everything to the 8 port switch and throw the hub away.20:24
QuintasanNot enough cables I'm afraid20:25
ScottKThe hub in there is a recipe for pain.20:25
QuintasanThe question is why the hell switch-switch connection doesn20:25
* ScottK suspects if you get rid of it all will be well.20:25
Quintasan't work20:25
Quintasanswitch-switch has to be a cross-over cable?20:25
ScottKWhat do you mean switch - switch?20:25
ScottKDGN  -> 8 port switch?20:26
QuintasanScottK: If I replace the hub with the switch I don't have any connection20:26
QuintasanDGN -> 8 port switch -> 8port switch20:26
ScottKOn switches there is usually one port labled WAN.20:27
QuintasanThere are so many switches because the number of computers in my home is very unstable20:27
ScottKMake sure you plug the DGN into that one and then you shouldn't need a crossover20:27
ScottKThere may be a switch on the switch to treat one port as the WAN port.20:27
QuintasanScottK: There isn20:27
QuintasanNot on the new one or the older one20:28
ScottKThe it's probably a hub and not a switch.20:28
QuintasanThe manual says that all the ports can act as uplink port.20:28
ScottKOr it has some automagic detection of it.20:28
QuintasanThis is retarded20:28
QuintasanI asked for a switch and they gave me a hub20:28
Quintasanridiculous20:28
QuintasanHell, even the box states it's a switch20:29
ScottKIf you have DGN -> new switch -> PC and nothing else, does it work?20:29
ScottKIt probably autodetects which is the "WAN" port.20:29
QuintasanIt *should*, can't test it without dragging my PC over there20:29
ScottK(if the box says it's a switch)20:29
ScottKCan't you use the cable that's running to the hub right now?20:30
QuintasanThis crap apparently has MDI/MDI-X (whatever it is) that apparently can tell apart a crossed-over cable from normal one20:30
QuintasanScottK: Well, if I use the cable that goes from the switch to hub I can only connect one device.20:31
ScottKThis is just for a test.20:31
QuintasanOh, ok20:31
QuintasanBrb20:31
QuintasanScottK: Doesn't work20:44
ScottKIs there a 'reset to factory settings' button on the switch?20:44
ScottKIf so, disconnect all the cables, mash that, and then hook them up agani, DGN end  first.20:45
QuintasanScottK: Uhh no20:45
QuintasanThere are no buttons on the switches nor the hub20:45
ScottKIf there's no button, just unplug the cables and pull the power for about a minute.20:45
ScottKThe hook the DGN cable up and power on.20:45
QuintasanScottK: Looking at my magical diagram I unplugged the ethernet cable that goes from 8port switch to 5 port hub and plugged it to my PC, no IP from dhcp; no connection whatsover20:47
ScottKEven after power cycling?20:47
QuintasanScottK: No, right now, just wanted to confirm if we are talking about the same thing20:47
ScottKYes.20:47
ScottKGo for it.20:48
QuintasanSo you basically want me to unplug everything from the switch, power it off and the plug only the DGN cable?20:49
Quintasanhell20:49
Quintasanbrb20:49
ScottKYes.20:51
jocarter71243120:51
jocarter(sorry that's the last words of a dying screen session)20:52
ScottKNow memorilized on irclogs.ubuntu.com.20:52
jocarterheh20:54
QuintasanScottK: well, ok, dgn is powered on, not plugged anywhere, powering the 8port switch on and pluggin in the dgn cable20:58
ScottKThe DGN is plugged in to your ISP, right?20:59
Quintasanyeah21:00
QuintasanOk21:02
QuintasanWhat now?21:02
QuintasanDGN connected to the 8 port switch and to nothing else.21:03
ScottKThen connect PC to switch via the long cable.21:05
RiddellScottK: 4.8.5 kde-l10n into kubuntu-ppa/staging ?21:07
ScottKRiddell: Yes.  Please.21:07
ScottK4.8.5 is just about done building.21:07
* ScottK wonders where Quintasan went.21:14
QuintasanScottK: sorry, seems like dgn died for good21:34
QuintasanI switched back to the thing I got from isp. Now I'm plugging it to the 8 port switch21:35
ScottKOK21:36
QuintasanOk now it is plugged to the 8 port switch and the cable that goes down to the 5 port hub is unplugged21:37
Quintasannote that I want to get rid of that damned hub21:37
QuintasanSo, here I have the godamn 5 port hub and another 8 port switch, do I plug the second switch now or you have some nifty magic spell to invoke ScottK? My sanity depends on your vast knowledge of the network magicks.21:40
ScottKHow many devices do you need to connect?21:40
ScottKAnd are the all near the PC?21:41
QuintasanI need to connect three devices, my PC, iMX (it works only on 100mbps link) and the second random pc which is used as a playground21:42
Quintasanthey are all in the same room21:42
ScottKSo I'd plug the ISP thingy into the wall, then use the long cable to plug to the 8 port switch, and then plug all three into that.21:42
ScottKDitch the hub.21:42
ScottKPower them on ISP thingy, switch, boxen.21:43
Quintasanwell I can't do that without moving all the stuff, thats why I have the freaking hub in the first place21:43
Quintasanlemme take photos21:43
QuintasanScottK: http://www.imgur.com/aHrKI.jpeg this is the cable that goes through some magic hole in the wall to the 8 port switch to the room downstairs21:48
ScottKOK.21:48
ScottKIs the room downstairs where the ISP thingy is or the computers?21:48
ScottKQuintasan: ^^^21:49
QuintasanScottK: Neither. That cable in the photo goes a little bit up to the router standing on a wardrobe21:54
ScottKWhat's at the other end of the cable?21:54
Quintasanit does from the router through the wall to a room downstair where my sis used to live in and there is a switch in  the corner21:54
Quintasans/does/goes21:55
Quintasanhttp://i.imgur.com/iHce6.jpg21:55
ScottKOK.21:55
Quintasanthe cable plugged in is obviously the one from the router and the rolled up, grey one is the one that goes to the room where my pc is21:55
ScottKAnd the ISP thingy is in that room?21:55
Quintasaneven further down stairs21:56
ScottKI start to see.21:56
QuintasanNo. ISP thingy is the router upstairs21:56
ScottKSo ISP thingy - one long cable - ex-sister's room/router - another long cable - hub - computers21:57
Quintasanalmost21:57
ScottKOK.21:57
Quintasanisp thingy is a adsl modem+wireless+1eth port21:57
ScottKHow so?21:57
ScottKYeah.21:57
Quintasanand in my sisters room there is a switch21:58
ScottKRight.21:58
Quintasanthe damned label sates it is a switch and it has only 8 ethernet ports21:58
ScottKAnd these cables are in the wall, so it's non-trivial to mess with them, right?21:58
ScottKIt probably is then.21:58
QuintasanYeah21:58
ScottKHere's what I would do ...21:59
QuintasanI'd would probably have to hit the wall with a hammer a few times to mess with those cables21:59
ScottK1.  Get one big honking cable that's long enough to go from the ADSL modem to your computer.21:59
ScottK2.  Connect those two together and prove that works.21:59
ScottKIf that works:22:00
QuintasanI think I have a netbook somewhere. I'll try with this22:00
ScottK3.  Hook the ADSL router to the switch via the appropriate cable in the wall.22:00
ScottK4.  Hook your PC to the router.22:00
ScottKSee if that works.22:00
ScottKEven better.22:00
ScottKIf the router doesn't work, move the hub down there and see if it works.22:01
ScottKYou can also plug your netbook into the cable that comes through the wall from the ADSL modem and see if that works (prove the cable is good).22:01
QuintasanWait, the router has only one ethernet port. I either connect it directly to the PC or to the switch22:01
Quintasanand wireless22:02
ScottKOh.22:02
ScottKYou said it was an 8 port router.22:02
Quintasannooooo22:02
QuintasanScottK: Look at the first photo22:03
ScottKhttp://imgur.com/vcrSQ says 8 port switich.22:03
QuintasanScottK: Is switch == router to you?22:04
ScottKNo.22:04
* Quintasan things he is using the wrong terms22:04
ScottKSwitch, router, and hub are three different things.22:04
ScottKHub is a dumb box where packets collide and ugly stuff happens.22:05
QuintasanScottK: Ok, substitute dgn with livebox - its the thing I use to connect to the internet, this particular device has one ethernet port which is used to connect a device and also is an wireless access point22:06
ScottKlivebox == ADSL modem?22:06
Quintasanyes22:06
ScottKSwitch knows the difference between upstream WAN link and peer links.  Has some smarts.22:06
Quintasanits a combo of adsl modem , router and wireless ap22:06
QuintasanIts shitty but I have nothing better at hand now that dgn died for good22:07
ScottKRouter does stuff like assign DHCP addresses and things and effectively has a separate network behind it.22:07
ScottKOK.22:07
ScottKFind the netbook and just go through it step by step.22:07
ScottKlivebox - short cable - netbook.22:08
ScottKlivebox - long cable through wall to ex-sister's room - netbook22:08
ScottKetc.22:08
ScottKI see the language packs are starting to land.22:09
ScottKThanks Riddell .22:09
ScottKRiddell:  I have to run out for a bit.  If you can find someone to smoke test 4.8.5 in staging, I think it's ready to be copied to updates and announced after your langpacks are done.22:10
ScottKQuintasan: I'll check back later.  Good luck.  Be methodical and don't assume anything works.22:11
ScottKI did a test install in a chroot, so I know installability is good.22:12
QuintasanScottK: Oookay. So far step 1. worked22:14
ScottKThat's good.22:21
* ScottK goes.22:21
QuintasanSee yoy later then, going to test it though I doubt the cables are bad22:21
Riddell!testers22:24
ubottuTesting help needed in #kubuntu-devel ping Riddell, yofel, soee, Tm_T, shadeslayer, BluesKaj, James147, em22:24
Riddellsmoke test 4.8.5 in staging22:24
QuintasanScottK: lb -> long cable through wall -> netbook works (no idea how did I manage to plug this crap in)22:27
QuintasanScottK: lb -> long cable through wall -> 8 port switch -> short cable -> netbook works22:33
Quintasanha...hahah....haha...AHAHAHAHAHAHAH22:46
Quintasannot22:46
QuintasanScottK: lb -> long cable -> switch -> long cable to pc room -> netbook doesn't work22:46
Quintasanhttp://i.imgur.com/o6WHO.png22:46
QuintasanIt says "Address type: Automatic private address"22:47
QuintasanIP Address: 169.254.253.8222:47
QuintasanSubnet mask: 255.255.0.022:47
QuintasanNot what I get plus setting a static ip address doesn't establish communication22:48
QuintasanHmm, let me try something.22:49
QuintasanARE YOU FOR REAL22:52
QuintasanScottK: lb -> long cable to sis room -> 8 port switch -> cable to pc room -> this damn hub -> short cable -> netbook WORKS22:53
Quintasanfor some reason22:53
Quintasanand it's only 10mpbs22:53
Quintasanwhilst the rest of tests yielded 100mbps22:53
QuintasanThere is something wrong with the cable then22:53
QuintasanBut how do you explain this.22:53
ScottKIt's always the cable.22:55
Quintasanby cable  I mean the cable that goes from the freaking 8 port switch to the pc room22:55
Quintasanwhen you plug it in to the pc it gets some mumbojumbo ip address22:55
ScottKIs that a switch or a router?22:56
Quintasanand when I plugged it into the hub and used short cable to plug the netbook in it worked22:56
QuintasanScottK: it's a goddamn hub22:56
Quintasanthe one I want to get rid of22:56
Quintasanholy crap how does this even work22:57
ScottKQuintasan: 169.254 are link-local addresses.22:57
ScottKThat means there's no outside connectivity.22:58
ScottKhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address#IPv422:59
QuintasanBut the same freaking cable plugged to HUB somehow works22:59
ScottKWhat ip address does the netbook have then?22:59
Quintasan8port switch -> long cable to pc room -> netbook doesnt work (gives local-link address)22:59
Quintasan8port switch -> long cable to pc room -> HUB -> short cable -> netbook works23:00
ScottKWith what IP address?23:00
ScottK(when it works)23:00
Quintasan192.168.1.1623:00
Quintasanassigned by dhcp23:00
Quintasanas one would like to23:00
ScottKLook at http://192.168.1.1 and see what comes up.23:01
Quintasanlivebox web admin panel23:01
ScottKOK.23:01
ScottKI question if that's a switch in the ex-sister's room or a router.23:02
QuintasanIt's a freaking switch23:02
QuintasanI'm telling you23:02
ScottKOK.23:02
ScottKWell we had some terminology issues earlier.23:02
QuintasanI has virtually nothing but ethernet ports and power cable socket23:02
QuintasanIt*23:03
ScottKThis can also be true of routers.23:03
QuintasanHell, if the lable is wrong then I have been buying the wrong stuff23:03
QuintasanIt says "8 Port 10/100 Switch"23:04
ScottKOK.23:04
ScottKIt's definitely weird.23:04
ScottKSo with the netbook/hub it 'works', right?23:04
Quintasanyes23:04
QuintasanI'm writing from netbook/hub as we talk23:04
ScottKWhat happens if you also plug your PC into the hub?23:04
Quintasanwork23:05
Quintasans23:05
QuintasanJust did a speedtest23:05
ScottKCool.23:05
ScottKArm box?23:05
Quintasanno connection23:05
ScottKWrong speed?23:05
Quintasandoesn't work on 10mbps link23:05
ScottKSo what's 10Mbps?23:06
ScottKAll segments or just hub/arm box.23:06
Quintasanall devices plugged to hub are 10mbps23:06
Quintasanmy pc, netbook, arm box and second pc23:06
Quintasanall report 10mbps23:06
ScottKWhat's the speed between the hub and the switch?23:06
Quintasanhow do you call the ethernet cable when it's no crossed-over?23:07
QuintasanScottK: I imagine if I went to the switch and plugged the netbook it would be 100 mbps23:07
Quintasanbrb23:07
ScottKRight, but there should be lights on the hub/switch to tell you the speed.23:07
ScottKRiddell: I think "index.docbook:4880: parser error : Entity 'plugins-chapter' not defined" means the translation needs kdelibs 4.9, so we should skip it.23:08
QuintasanScottK: Right.23:09
QuintasanSo with the netbook plugged in to the switch I get 100 mbps23:09
Quintasanthe hub with the rest of devices are still plugged in23:10
QuintasanFabulous. Never seen this kind of magic23:10
QuintasanScottK: I wonder if it has something to do with the cable going from switch to pc room being crossed or not23:11
ScottKQuintasan: No.  Crossed/not crossed gets you works/doesn't work if you get it wrong.23:11
QuintasanScottK: Ha, it doesn't work if I plug it in to PC23:11
QuintasanIt also doesn't work when I swap the HUB for the new 8 port switch I bought today23:12
ScottKQuintasan: Your life would be much easier with this in the ex-sister's room: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-R6D011-Female-Inline-Coupler/dp/B00006HTTE23:13
ScottKThen it's just like one long cable.23:13
QuintasanHmm, I think I might have one somewhere but that is a big speculation and I don't necessarily want to wake up my dad23:15
ScottKSure.23:15
ScottKI can understand that.23:15
ScottKI suspect the feeling is mutual.23:15
QuintasanScottK: What happens when I find that thing and plug both cables and it still doesn't work when connected directly to PC or to switch?23:16
ScottKRiddell: Did you get the kde-l10n-da-4.8.5.tar.xz dated 5 august as it was allegedly fixed.23:16
QuintasanScottK: Especially when it's 01:15 in here.23:16
ScottKQuintasan: Then you figure the cables are too crappy for 100 Mbps all the way from the ISP thing.23:16
QuintasanALL THE WAY?23:16
Quintasannot just the single one going from sis room to pc room?23:17
ScottKIf you put the router in the PC room, each machine ought to be able to negotiate it's own speed with the router independent of the speed between the router and the next box upstream.23:17
ScottKWell, if you use one of those it's like one long cable.23:17
ScottKSimplifying, but longer cable.23:17
QuintasanHmm, true.23:18
RiddellScottK: got the latest from the server today23:18
ScottKHmmm.23:18
ScottKRiddell:  I'd say it deserve a mail to dirk.23:18
ScottKI've got a reply started.23:19
ScottKOr I did until kontact froze up on me.23:19
QuintasanHoly crap. Looks like I either look for a monitor and a keyboard and a mouse and move out with my iMX or deal with it23:19
QuintasanFeels bad man.23:20
QuintasanScottK: You don't happen to offer home network designing services, do you?23:21
ScottKI'm glad to offer help here. 23:22
ScottKRiddell: Mailed.23:22
ScottKAnyone on precise with 4.8.2/4 that could install 4.8.5 from staging and give it a whirl?23:23
QuintasanScottK: I can.23:23
ScottKExcellent.23:23
QuintasanScottK: If I ever happen to be building my own house you gotta be here23:23
QuintasanNo way in hell I'm doing any of this magic without help23:24
ScottK:-)23:24
ScottKThe future is all fiber optics.23:24
QuintasanI *though* I control what the hell is going on with all those cables23:24
QuintasanUp until now.23:24
QuintasanI wish I could just have those cables hanging from the ceiling or laying on the damn stairs23:25
Quintasanat least the access was easier23:25
QuintasanYou could trip or something but maintaining is less expensive23:26
QuintasanWell, nuff said, going to upgrade to 4.8.523:26
ScottKWell, I suspect the problem is really way too much automagic in your gear.23:26
ScottKThanks.23:26
ScottKGotta run.23:31
ScottKLet Riddell  know if it works so he can copy to updates PPA.23:31
QuintasanRiddell: You do not happen to know if shadeslayer uploaded new ktp meta package?23:38
