[02:00] I need to open it for my torrent client [02:02] Hi. I've configured a usbnetwork device under /etc/network/interface for a static ip, and when I connect the device that config is applied. However, between a few seconds and a minute later, NetworkManager seems to overwrite that setting, dropping the ip assignment and generally fouling things up. When I reconfigure the device manually those settings are again overwritten. Can I instruct NetworkManager to ignore that device all together? [02:02] lostmonk; to open a port, that is configured on the firewall or router. [02:04] portforward.com [02:04] Deutopia: but I had no torrent issues when I was on winblows [02:07] lostmonk; opening and closing ports is done with a firewall (a router is a firewall) linux has built in iptables /chains and functions as a great firewall, but i doubt you have taken the time to write an access control list or anything of the sort. [02:11] I havent installed a firewall [02:11] im on a default 12.10 install [02:11] thats what i was saying. [02:11] your router has a firewall built in [02:11] your router is the firewall [02:11] ok [02:12] portforward.com [02:12] but why would it react differint to a nix machine rather than windows? [02:12] It seems that disabling the connection in NetworkManager will cause NM to leave it alone. [02:12] it worked fine 3 days ago [02:12] UPnP [02:12] and I just opened a 10k port range [02:13] well the other computers on the network are kinda screwed. but no. you have other issues then because as you said, the port is already open [02:13] ok [02:13] i opened 35k-45k [02:13] so, should be fine [02:14] if your application(s) listen on one of those ports in the 10K range [02:14] and you have them forwarding to the correct internal IP [02:14] so assign your torrent app to use those ports (at this point id run a packet capture to see if the torrent app is actually transmitting/recieving) [02:14] it downloads, but doesnt seed [02:15] double check and make sure your IP hasnt changed? [02:15] already checked that [02:15] says seeding but doesnt seed? [02:15] right [02:15] with plenty of peers [02:16] maybe your peers don't want to associate with you? ;) [02:16] check to see if your router supports and is not in shadow or passive mode [02:16] well that wouldnt be it [02:16] cuz it worked 3 days ago [02:17] its only been since I went to nix [02:17] and I hve tried like 4 different clients [02:17] LOL [02:17] just to make sure that wasnt it [02:17] sounds like a software issue. either linux or the app isnt communicating properly, peers cant directly connect to you, or theres just no interest in the torrent [02:18] right [02:18] there is plenty of leeches [02:18] so, im trying to figure out what kind of linux issue it could be [02:19] yeah im at a loss. it downloads and uploads fine undill it seeds, and this is with 4 clients... === cowboy is now known as Guest73015 [02:19] no, it never uploads [02:20] take a sec and pop into #kubuntu-bugs and let them know [02:20] kk [02:20] Hello everyone [02:21] I had my home directory stored on a separate drive from my main directory [02:21] the drive with the home directory is dead [02:21] photorec [02:21] and now I can't log in to KDE because there is no config file stored for anyone [02:21] what should I do? [02:21] Is there any way to make a new KDE compaitble home directory from the command line? [02:22] this is kubuntu 10.10 btw [02:22] copy one from a live disk [02:22] I do not have a live disk [02:22] or an empty cd [02:22] usb booting seems to not work [02:23] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [02:24] there we go [02:24] SIR_Taco: there is no home directory to move [02:24] the drive that had it is dead [02:25] rufsketch1: ignore the moving part, and follow the 'setup parition' parts, and the 'fstab setup' parts [02:26] SIR_Taco: are the resulting home directories ready to work with KDE? [02:26] I don't see anything about changing the config files [02:27] or, creating them rather [02:27] rufsketch1: the new home directories will be the same as if you were to create a new user. Any config files will be generated as needed [02:28] okay, trying it out [02:28] will let you know in a bit [02:28] thanks [03:22] Pulse audio is a pain ... [03:24] mr-rich: so are speed limit signs [03:25] If I route my tvcard (and antique bt878) through asound and then aplay, I can get sound ... otherwise, no sound ... alsamixer doesn't even list my line in or my CD ports on the MB ... strange ... [03:26] SIR_Taco: I can disreguard a speed limit sign with my foot ... pulse audio is like running into a wall ... [03:31] mr-rich: when you go into alsamixer.... have you tried using F6 (to change cards/channels)? [03:33] SIR_Taco: Yes ... I can select the bt878 and it's capture volume is up ... [03:35] have you followed this? http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Snd-bt87x_%28alsa_bt878_driver%29 [03:36] SIR_Taco: I get picture ... no sound [03:37] mr-rich: ok... but I had a card with that sound chipset on it... and step #4 on the link I provided fixed the problem (that was a few years ago now, but it's worth a shot) [03:38] The instructions are for 8.04 ... IIRC, 8.04 didn't have Pulse ... [03:38] mr-rich: yes, you're right... but the instructions are for drivers [03:39] ok ... worth a shot ... [03:40] I have one of those cards floating around here somewhere... just not sure where [03:41] rjwiii@rjwiii-P55A-UD3:~/Documents$ sudo rmmod bt878 [03:41] [sudo] password for rjwiii: [03:41] ERROR: Module bt878 does not exist in /proc/modules [03:41] 3.2 kernel must be doing things different ...

I'm installing Kubuntu 12.04 LTS, and I would like to choose sizes for /home etc manually, so manual partitioning. Anyway, the installation warns me something about EFI BOOT PARTITION, that I don't have. Should I have and how much space should I reserve to it? [09:14] I have never faced the efi boot thing [09:16] spexi: I'd say to have a look at what the guided partitioning scheme looks like, then go back and do manual partitioning and use it as a template [09:17] Well, I was thinking of that, but if I select automatical partitioning, there's only button "install now" [09:17] Which makes me think, I can't see the template and it just starts the install [09:17] I haven't actually go through a recent GUI install, maybe that changed recently [09:20] yes it just starts unless you choose "something else" [09:20] well, I wouldn't imagine you'd need more than 100MB for an EFI boot partition anyway [09:21] and if it's giving you a big warning, it's probably safer to do what it's suggesting [09:21] okay [09:21] have to try [09:27] Well, solved: I'm booting on usb stick. So, on boot menu, I didn't choose option #1, which was UEFI: Kingston DataTraveler, I choosed #4 which was just Kingston DataTraveler === pjoe is now known as pjoe_afk [10:25] I have problem connect to wifi in Kubuntu, but I get no problem in Window 7 using the same laptop. [10:27] I am using Kubuntu 12.04. [10:28] which wireless card model yoga` ? [10:30] ArchangelSe7en: my laptop is Acer 4736z. [10:30] yoga`, open your terminal and type lspci [10:31] ArchangelSe7en: I am not in Kubuntu, so I cannot type lspci there. [10:32] Which wifi client one would use in Kubuntu? [10:35] yoga`, knetworkmanger works fine for me , but it's usually suggested to try WICD [10:38] ArchangelSe7en: I think I was using WICD, it get so many protocal(don't know the exact term) to choose to setup the password etc. And when I try to connect, it always said wrong password, even I use the correct one. [10:38] ArchangelSe7en: I'll try knetworkmanger. [10:39] that's provided by default in Kubuntu yofel [10:39] I OSX, I don't need to choose different setting in WICD. [10:39] yoga`, even [10:40] ArchangelSe7en: On OSX, it just work, same as in Windows. [10:41] I see [10:41] I'll go try knetworkmanager, and see if it work. [10:43] ArchangelSe7en: So knetworkmanager is also in Kubuntu 12.04? [10:44] it should yoga` , because like I said it's provided by default [10:44] ok thank. [10:44] it's KDE's default networ manager [10:44] ymw [11:40] I manage to connect to wifi in my Kubuntu 12.04, the hard way! [11:41] I tried using wsid, but failed. [11:41] Then I find this nm-applet, and give it a try. [11:42] Then it works, I can connect with wifi using nm-applet, it just ask me the key. [11:43] I don't know how set up wsid to make it connect though. [11:44] I wonder how to make nm-applet to auto load when Kubuntu boot up? [11:58] hello [12:00] Hiyas all [12:05] Hi all. When I connect to an openvpn, I can't browse web sites. I get the impression this is because all traffic is sent via the vpn.
