[02:00] <LostMonk> how do I open a port for net usage?
[02:00] <LostMonk> I need to open it for my torrent client
[02:02] <Enkidu_ak> 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] <Deutopia> lostmonk; to open a port, that is configured on the firewall or router.
[02:04] <Deutopia> portforward.com
[02:04] <LostMonk> Deutopia: but I had no torrent issues when I was on winblows
[02:07] <Deutopia> 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] <LostMonk> I havent installed a firewall
[02:11] <LostMonk> im on a default 12.10 install
[02:11] <Deutopia> thats what i was saying.
[02:11] <tsimpson> your router has a firewall built in
[02:11] <Deutopia> your router is the firewall
[02:11] <LostMonk> ok
[02:12] <Deutopia> portforward.com
[02:12] <LostMonk> but why would it react differint to a nix machine rather than windows?
[02:12] <Enkidu_ak> It seems that disabling the connection in NetworkManager will cause NM to leave it alone.
[02:12] <LostMonk> it worked fine 3 days ago
[02:12] <Deutopia> UPnP
[02:12] <LostMonk> and I just opened a 10k port range
[02:13] <Deutopia> 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] <LostMonk> ok
[02:13] <LostMonk> i opened 35k-45k
[02:13] <LostMonk> so, should be fine
[02:14] <tsimpson> if your application(s) listen on one of those ports in the 10K range
[02:14] <tsimpson> and you have them forwarding to the correct internal IP
[02:14] <Deutopia> 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] <LostMonk> it downloads, but doesnt seed
[02:15] <Deutopia> double check and make sure your IP hasnt changed?
[02:15] <LostMonk> already checked that
[02:15] <Deutopia> says seeding but doesnt seed?
[02:15] <LostMonk> right
[02:15] <LostMonk> with plenty of peers
[02:16] <SIR_Taco> maybe your peers don't want to associate with you? ;)
[02:16] <Deutopia> check to see if your router supports and is not in shadow or passive mode
[02:16] <Deutopia> well that wouldnt be it
[02:16] <Deutopia> cuz it worked 3 days ago
[02:17] <LostMonk> its only been since I went to nix
[02:17] <LostMonk> and I hve tried like 4 different clients
[02:17] <LostMonk> LOL
[02:17] <LostMonk> just to make sure that wasnt it
[02:17] <Deutopia> 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] <LostMonk> right
[02:18] <LostMonk> there is plenty of leeches
[02:18] <LostMonk> so, im trying to figure out what kind of linux issue it could be
[02:19] <Deutopia> yeah im at a loss. it downloads and uploads fine undill it seeds, and this is with 4 clients...
[02:19] <LostMonk> no, it never uploads
[02:20] <Deutopia> take a sec and pop into #kubuntu-bugs and let them know
[02:20] <LostMonk> kk
[02:20] <rufsketch1> Hello everyone
[02:21] <rufsketch1> I had my home directory stored on a separate drive from my main directory
[02:21] <rufsketch1> the drive with the home directory is dead
[02:21] <Deutopia> photorec
[02:21] <rufsketch1> and now I can't log in to KDE because there is no config file stored for anyone
[02:21] <rufsketch1> what should I do?
[02:21] <rufsketch1> Is there any way to make a new KDE compaitble home directory from the command line?
[02:22] <rufsketch1> this is kubuntu 10.10 btw
[02:22] <Deutopia> copy one from a live disk
[02:22] <rufsketch1> I do not have a live disk
[02:22] <rufsketch1> or an empty cd
[02:22] <rufsketch1> usb booting seems to not work
[02:23] <SIR_Taco> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[02:24] <Deutopia> there we go
[02:24] <rufsketch1> SIR_Taco: there is no home directory to move
[02:24] <rufsketch1> the drive that had it is dead
[02:25] <SIR_Taco> rufsketch1: ignore the moving part, and follow the 'setup parition' parts, and the 'fstab setup' parts
[02:26] <rufsketch1> SIR_Taco: are the resulting home directories ready to work with KDE?
[02:26] <rufsketch1> I don't see anything about changing the config files
[02:27] <rufsketch1> or, creating them rather
[02:27] <SIR_Taco> 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] <rufsketch1> okay, trying it out
[02:28] <rufsketch1> will let you know in a bit
[02:28] <rufsketch1> thanks
[03:22] <mr-rich> Pulse audio is a pain ...
[03:24] <SIR_Taco>  mr-rich: so are speed limit signs
[03:25] <mr-rich> 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] <mr-rich> SIR_Taco: I can disreguard a speed limit sign with my foot ... pulse audio is like running into a wall ...
[03:31] <SIR_Taco> mr-rich: when you go into alsamixer.... have you tried using F6 (to change cards/channels)?
[03:33] <mr-rich> SIR_Taco: Yes ... I can select the bt878 and it's capture volume is up ...
[03:35] <SIR_Taco> have you followed this? http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Snd-bt87x_%28alsa_bt878_driver%29
[03:36] <mr-rich> SIR_Taco: I get picture ... no sound
[03:37] <SIR_Taco> 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] <mr-rich> The instructions are for 8.04 ... IIRC, 8.04 didn't have Pulse ...
[03:38] <SIR_Taco> mr-rich: yes, you're right... but the instructions are for drivers
[03:39] <mr-rich> ok ... worth a shot ...
[03:40] <SIR_Taco> I have one of those cards floating around here somewhere... just not sure where

[09:13] <Andy> help
[09:13] <Andy> hello
[09:14] <spexi> Hi! 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] <spexi> I have never faced the efi boot thing
[09:16] <tsimpson> 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] <spexi> Well, I was thinking of that, but if I select automatical partitioning, there's only button "install now"
[09:17] <spexi> Which makes me think, I can't see the template and it just starts the install
[09:17] <tsimpson> I haven't actually go through a recent GUI install, maybe that changed recently
[09:20] <Deutopia> yes it just starts unless you choose "something else"
[09:20] <tsimpson> well, I wouldn't imagine you'd need more than 100MB for an EFI boot partition anyway
[09:21] <tsimpson> and if it's giving you a big warning, it's probably safer to do what it's suggesting
[09:21] <spexi> okay
[09:21] <spexi> have to try
[09:27] <spexi> 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
[10:25] <yoga`> I have problem connect to wifi in Kubuntu, but I get no problem in Window 7 using the same laptop.
[10:27] <yoga`> I am using Kubuntu 12.04.
[10:28] <ArchangelSe7en> which wireless card model yoga` ?
[10:30] <yoga`> ArchangelSe7en: my laptop is Acer 4736z.
[10:30] <ArchangelSe7en> yoga`, open your terminal and type lspci
[10:31] <yoga`> ArchangelSe7en: I am not in Kubuntu, so I cannot type lspci there.
[10:32] <yoga`> Which wifi client one would use in Kubuntu?
[10:35] <ArchangelSe7en> yoga`, knetworkmanger works fine for me , but it's usually suggested to try WICD
[10:38] <yoga`> 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] <yoga`> ArchangelSe7en: I'll try knetworkmanger.
[10:39] <ArchangelSe7en> that's provided by default in Kubuntu yofel
[10:39] <yoga`> I OSX, I don't need to choose different setting in WICD.
[10:39] <ArchangelSe7en> yoga`, even
[10:40] <yoga`> ArchangelSe7en: On OSX, it just work, same as in Windows.
[10:41] <ArchangelSe7en> I see
[10:41] <yoga`> I'll go try knetworkmanager, and see if it work.
[10:43] <yoga`> ArchangelSe7en: So knetworkmanager is also in Kubuntu 12.04?
[10:44] <ArchangelSe7en> it should yoga` , because like I said it's provided by default
[10:44] <yoga`> ok thank.
[10:44] <ArchangelSe7en> it's KDE's default networ manager
[10:44] <ArchangelSe7en> ymw
[11:40] <yoga`> I manage to connect to wifi in my Kubuntu 12.04, the hard way!
[11:41] <yoga`> I tried using wsid, but failed.
[11:41] <yoga`> Then I find this nm-applet, and give it a try.
[11:42] <yoga`> Then it works, I can connect with wifi using nm-applet, it just ask me the key.
[11:43] <yoga`> I don't know how set up wsid to make it connect though.
[11:44] <yoga`> I wonder how to make nm-applet to auto load when Kubuntu boot up?
[11:58] <yoga``> hello

[12:05] <robbie> 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. Is there an easy way to stop this?

[14:22] <Bhukampidit> Hi
[14:28] <cmagina> kwallet seems broken in quantal, anyone else unable to open the wallet? i enter the password and nothing happens. no errors, nada. just checked xsession-errors and there wasn't anything in there either
[14:32] <BluesKaj> cmagina, did you try opening it with krunner , alt+f2 ?
[14:32] <cmagina> BluesKaj: just tried to open it from the commandline and this is what I see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1214893/
[14:33] <cmagina> which i also saw in the xsession-errors log, but didn't associate with kwallet
[14:33] <cmagina> killed the kwalletd daemon, see a new one fire up, but still the same issue
[14:34] <BluesKaj> cmagina, ok try walletmanager in krunner
[14:35] <cmagina> BluesKaj: odd, that worked
[14:35] <cmagina> so, when an application requests access, it fails. when running kwalletmanager through systemsettings, it fails, running it through the commandline, it fails, but when running it from krunner, it works
[14:36] <BluesKaj> well cmagina , i don't use kwallet , but in order to turn it off , that's the quickest method
[14:37] <BluesKaj> to get the giu
[14:37] <cmagina> ok, i'll try and submit a bug for it then
[14:38] <BluesKaj> err gui
[14:40] <cmagina> BluesKaj: thanks, opening it that way at least got e-mail working
[14:42] <BluesKaj> cmagina, I never liked the kwallet system , but then I don't really need it since I'm a home user ...suppose it's necessary on the job
[14:43] <cmagina> i use it as the applications seem to make use of it.
[15:51] <MySystem> hello have a problem with my language neraly my whole kde including programms are german but gimp is english was in the #gimp but they can't help and said try #kubuntu
[16:21] <Guest12160> hjg
[16:21] <MySystem> thx Montrak 4 help
[17:20] <DarthFrog> How odd.  I've just installed iscan & plugin to use my Epson 4490 scanner.  iscan works from the command line but not from GIMP.
[17:23] <DarthFrog> Hmm, it works when GIMP is run with sudo.  So it's a permissions issue.  Now to figure out which one.
[17:27] <BluesKaj> DarthFrog, make gimp exectutable in properties ?
[17:28] <DarthFrog> BluesKaj: It's not GIMP that's the problem, I don't think.  It's the iscan plugin that is likely the problem child.
[17:28] <BluesKaj> obviously just aguess , haven't used gimp or iscan in a while , or sane even
[17:29] <DarthFrog> Xsane works as a GIMP plug-in.
[17:30] <DarthFrog> Both iscan and xsane have 755 permissions.
[17:31] <BluesKaj> I let wifey run the copies and scans on her lexmark all in one , which of course I can't connect to due to their non-support policy on their consumer grade printers
[17:32] <BluesKaj> on linux
[17:33] <BluesKaj> brb , gonna check the Canada post box
[17:41] <lordievader> Good evening
[17:42] <DarthFrog> lordievader: Good morning. :-)
[17:42] <lordievader> Hey DarthFrog, how are you?
[17:43] <DarthFrog> A wee bit under the weather today, I'm sorry to say.  How's life treating you?
[17:44] <lordievader> DarthFrog: Pretty good, can't complain.
[19:27] <BluesKaj> !vesa
