| GridCube | its too late to add feature requests? | 13:09 |
|---|---|---|
| GridCube | i would like to add a request for proxy settings on the settings manager | 13:09 |
| ochosi | GridCube: you mean too late for feature-requests in xfce or xubuntu? | 14:19 |
| GridCube | probably both isnt it? | 14:23 |
| ochosi | well depends | 14:26 |
| ochosi | xfce doesn't have anything network-related in the settings yet | 14:27 |
| ochosi | so it'd have to be something rather new | 14:27 |
| ochosi | and it could be that for that it's too late | 14:27 |
| ochosi | but we can start doing it for xubuntu, i think it's a good idea to have something like that | 14:27 |
| ochosi | (sucks a bit that nm-applet doesn't handle the proxies) | 14:28 |
| GridCube | true | 14:29 |
| GridCube | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-r-proxy-support | 14:29 |
| GridCube | ¿? | 14:29 |
| GridCube | >marking the proxy tasks all postponed -- we're focusing on mobile, and it seems as though there is interest upstream in NM to do the proxy development, whereas I can't really spend time on it at this point. It will definitely come back later if it isn't relatively quickly implemented by NM upstream. | 14:30 |
| GridCube | :/ | 14:31 |
| ochosi | yeah, there ya go | 14:31 |
| ochosi | definitely better to do within nm-applet | 14:31 |
| GridCube | can we poke nm upstream a bit? | 14:36 |
| ochosi | sure | 14:36 |
| ochosi | we can always try | 14:36 |
| ochosi | i'd first try to find their roadmap or check the bugtracker, the feature must be mentioned somewhere | 14:36 |
| GridCube | http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/TODO#n248 | 14:56 |
| ochosi | hm, sounds complicated... | 14:57 |
| ochosi | not the kind of thing you code in an afternoon | 14:57 |
| ochosi | and especially doesn't sound like anyone can easily do it, that task seems to demand some experience with network-manager and/or proxy-libs | 15:00 |
| GridCube | and i imagine that the people with that knowhow already sets their proxies easily and wont bother to make it easier for the plebe | 15:05 |
| ochosi | possible | 15:05 |
| ochosi | i mean there's the obvious way of setting the ENV_VAR | 15:05 |
| GridCube | that wont work for everything | 15:06 |
| ochosi | yeah, and not for everyone ;) | 15:06 |
| GridCube | the USC doesnt take its proxy settings from there | 15:06 |
| GridCube | i have no idea where it takes it | 15:06 |
| GridCube | i had to set the proxy on synaptic and then it worked on usc, no idea why, it didnt before 13.04 | 15:07 |
| matt_symes | Hi peeps. I have a problem with wireless (wl driver) broadcom 4313 [14e4:4727] on yesterdays xubuntu daily build - infact all builds under saucy. After a period of time the wireless will stop sending packets. Network manager thinks i'm still connected but i can't ping, resolve using dns or see any web pages | 17:41 |
| matt_symes | Anybody else seeing this ? The netbook is a Lenovo S206 | 17:42 |
| matt_symes | If i stop network manager and and connect using a wpa_supplicant file to the router i still lose connectivity. | 17:43 |
| matt_symes | I notice that the broadcom driver has been updated from 6.20 to 6.30 under saucy. The thing is, if i keep network manager running and just disconnect and reconnect i regain connectivity. I increased wpa_supplicant debugging in the service file but could not see much wrong (although i', not 100% sure what to look for). There is nothing in syslog or dmesg that would point to the failure. I tried setting | 17:46 |
| matt_symes | an arp entry to see if that was the problem (arp -a and route was taking a while to return values when connectivity had stalled). The only thing i have not done is use wireshark or tcpdump to look at the packets | 17:46 |
| matt_symes | BTW: elfy suggested i post here before raising a bug to see i this was a known issue | 17:47 |
| matt_symes | btw: 13.04 has been rock solid for wireless and general running :) | 17:49 |
| matt_symes | one last thing, messing with the cards power management made no difference | 17:52 |
| pleia2 | matt_symes: testing 13.10 or 13.04? | 17:55 |
| pleia2 | oh, you said daily build | 17:55 |
| pleia2 | I haven't heard of this issue and we're quite early in the cycle, I'd submit a but | 17:56 |
| pleia2 | bug | 17:56 |
| matt_symes | 13.10 pleia2. one yesterdays daily iso, an update 13.04=>13.10 and from the liveusb of the daily | 17:56 |
| pleia2 | particularly with hardware issues it's not always common to find someone with an identical setup, so having hardware info is important | 17:56 |
| matt_symes | No probs pleia2. I can supply all the info required | 17:56 |
| pleia2 | thanks for testing :) | 17:56 |
| matt_symes | np. I raise a bug in the next hour or so. Food first :) | 17:57 |
| * elfy 's mission to drag people to testing from forum starts to work pleia2 ;) | 17:59 | |
| pleia2 | \o/ | 18:02 |
| Unit193 | matt_symes: Strangely, I have a BCM problem I haven't looked at too hard in Raring, so far on installed system only. :P | 18:04 |
| matt_symes | I did see a bug raised about arp and wl Unit193, but i'm not sure if this is the same issue as the bug was supposed to be fixed | 18:44 |
| matt_symes | The thing is this netbook has no other connectivity | 18:44 |
| Unit193 | Bug #1156138 was one I hit. | 18:51 |
| ubottu | bug 1156138 in bcmwl (Ubuntu) "bcmwl-kernel-source 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6: bcmwl kernel module failed to build [FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module wl.ko uses GPL-only symbol '__rcu_read_unlock']" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1156138 | 18:51 |
| matt_symes | I did not hit that one Unit193. I did hit another one where dkms would not build the wl driver. There was a patch on launchpad though so i added it to dkms and manually rebuilt the driver using dkms. That was on mainline 3.9 kernel though. This is happening with a vanilla install, liveusb and upgraded raring->saucy. I hit bug #1157880 | 19:01 |
| ubottu | bug 1157880 in bcmwl (Ubuntu) "bcmwl-kernel-source 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6: bcmwl kernel module failed to build on kernel 3.9 [wl_cfg80211.c:2025:3: error: too few arguments to function ‘cfg80211_put_bss’]" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1157880 | 19:01 |
| matt_symes | This bug is affecting the daily builds though | 19:02 |
| Unit193 | knome: Going to harass bluesabre now? | 23:13 |
| bluesabre | whats up? | 23:13 |
| Unit193 | Heya, we were talking about options for keeping people (team members more so) online. | 23:15 |
| bluesabre | I'm hoping to purchase a server to keep a screen soon | 23:16 |
| bluesabre | I get paid tomorrow | 23:16 |
| bluesabre | but if knome is going to provide... | 23:16 |
| bluesabre | :) | 23:16 |
| pleia2 | I have a server specifically set aside to give fellow community members irc shell accounts | 23:16 |
| bluesabre | oh | 23:17 |
| Unit193 | Awwh, but she wouldn't answer me. :( | 23:17 |
| bluesabre | awesome pleia2! | 23:17 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre: What's your client of choice anyway? | 23:17 |
| bluesabre | Everyone else uses irssi, so I suppose that will do | 23:17 |
| bluesabre | I generally just use pidgin | 23:17 |
| Unit193 | I've noticed, you've made me sad. | 23:18 |
| pleia2 | Unit193: you said you'd be bad | 23:18 |
| bluesabre | why, are you the last xchat user? | 23:19 |
| bluesabre | :D | 23:19 |
| Unit193 | pleia2: Kidding, and was kidding about the grsec question. :P (I was also kidding then, about ruled out for that reason, I'm ruled out for another one though.) Sorry. | 23:19 |
| pleia2 | no monkeys on dagobah | 23:20 |
| Unit193 | :( | 23:20 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre: No, irssi here. | 23:20 |
| bluesabre | ah | 23:21 |
| pleia2 | bluesabre: if you want an account, just lyz@ubuntu.com me a username and public ssh key (or link to one in launchpad) | 23:21 |
| bluesabre | ok, I'll do that now, thanks pleia2! | 23:21 |
| pleia2 | I'm actually migrating to a new host soonish, but "soonish" is a lousy timeframe and means I probably won't do it for a while | 23:22 |
| pleia2 | maybe september, or june | 23:22 |
| bluesabre | that sounds like my soonish software releases | 23:22 |
| Unit193 | pleia2: I'd assume not a thing I can help with in all of this? | 23:22 |
| pleia2 | Unit193: nope | 23:22 |
| pleia2 | thanks | 23:23 |
| Unit193 | Ko, just trying to be helpful. | 23:23 |
| pleia2 | unfortunately the server has been a bit wonky lately (unexpected reboots, boo) so I'm planning to move to linode now that they're cheaper instead of upgrading to debian 7 on this server, but that seems like a lot of work | 23:24 |
| Unit193 | Oh? Checking now... | 23:24 |
| bluesabre | pleia2, email sent | 23:26 |
| pleia2 | bluesabre: replied with a question :) | 23:35 |
| bluesabre | ha | 23:35 |
| bluesabre | yes | 23:35 |
| pleia2 | bluesabre: I need to go run some errands, we can debug later if you have trouble logging in | 23:58 |
| bluesabre | thanks pleia2! | 23:59 |
| bluesabre | woot, I'm in | 23:59 |
