maizhi, i'm on kubuntu 13.10, and when i'm connected to an openvpn server with the network-manager; i cannot connect anymore to programs like: pidgin, konversation, kvirc, it founds the server, but gets stuck on "Connecting..."; browsing works fine; what could be causing this? thanks09:35

maizactually even "ping" doesn't work09:57
Tm_Tmaiz: how ping doesn't work?09:59
maizTm_T: PING www.google.com (74.125.195.106) 56(84) bytes of data.09:59
maizand then nothing09:59
Tm_Thmmm09:59
Tm_Tmaiz: sounds like routing issue09:59
maiz:(10:00
Tm_Tmaiz: if you the following command in commandline: "route"10:01
Tm_Tmaiz: what is your default route then?10:01
Tm_Tmaiz: that with vpn, ofcourse10:02
Tm_Tmaiz: compare to what you have without vpn10:02
maizTm_T: http://pastebin.com/2pWsDDPN10:02
maizbrb sorry, if you have an idea you can write it i'll it right after10:02
Tm_Tmaiz: looks like ~all your traffic are now pointed to go through vpn10:19
=== max is now known as Guest76022
Tm_Tmaiz: but I suspect it's not actually routing it forward, I recommend contacting your vpn provider10:19

BluesKajI have something wrong with muon , when I try to "configure software sources" in "settings" , muon just updates and doesn't open the repos list. Strange behaviour 13:01
noirohey guys, I've got an issue with the LTS where plasma crashes on bootup after changing from autologin to login13:03
noiroIs there any way I can get into the system to fix it?13:04
BluesKajok, now i see what's going on the new muon discover has the source edit options instead 13:04
BluesKajnoiro, have you updated /upgraded lately 13:04
noiroBluesKaj: somewhat. But I can't atm. I don't even know how to get command line up at this point since KDE doesn't support Terminal13:05
noirowell, it doesn't support shortcut key terminal and plasma is dead. Does Kubuntu support a 'safe mode' type thing?13:05
BluesKajctrl+alt +F1-F6 will bring up a TTY (virtual terminal), run your commands then run startx 13:06
BluesKajnoiro, if you can;t get to TTY then choose recovery kernel in grub , and perhaps you need to update grub too, sudo update-grub  13:09
noiroI can get to TTY. When logging in, plasma just crashes. 13:09
BluesKajwhich LTS noiro ?13:11
noiro12.0413:12
noiroLooks like there is only 126kb of updates though, not sure if that will fix the crashing of plasma. Is there a way to reload it?13:13
BluesKajok , update/upgrade/dist-upgrade , and sudo update-grub , as well ,at the TTY , then reboot 13:13
noiroAlright kaj, rebooted, let's see if it crashes13:17
noiroI installed a minimalist package to get rid of effects (I forget the name), if that affects anything, but it worked when I first installed it13:18
noiroYeah, I get: Executable: plasma-desktop PID: 1786 Signal: Bus error (7)13:18
BluesKajnoiro, do you have the kubuntu backports enabled in the sources.list ?13:21
noiroBlues, I'm running a default config. Are they enabled by default?13:21
BluesKajno ,  you have to uncomment them or add , i've forgotten13:22
noirowhere are they located again? I'll nav to them and edit with nano13:23
BluesKajnoiro, it's a method of installing a newer version of kde desktop which brings plasma libs etc with it 13:24
noirowait, nvm, you said kubuntu backports? Where are those on the file? 13:24
smartboyhw!ppa-purge13:24
ubottuTo disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html13:24
smartboyhwppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports13:25
noiroI'm not even seeing kubuntu ppa backports in /etc/apt/sources.list13:26
noirojust deb and deb-src for ubuntu precise and security13:26
tsimpsonlook in /etc/apt/sources.list.d13:27
tsimpsonit's probably named like kubuntu-ppa-backports-precise.list13:27
BluesKajnoiro, ,  13:27
BluesKajdeb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse13:27
BluesKajdeb-src http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse13:27
BluesKajmy archaive is in Canada , noiro , but it should still work 13:28
noiroI see us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse13:29
noiroIt doesn't look commented out. What am I supposed to do with it?13:30
BluesKajyup, that's it  , make sure there's no # in front 13:30
noirowould a sudo apt-get purge plasma-desktop && apt-get install plasma-desktop work?13:31
BluesKajdunno , never tried it 13:31
noironope, couldn't open lock file >.< And I was root13:32
BluesKajclose muon if it's still open , and your sources.list as well 13:33

ruedigerlordievader: on an osx system https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles I already used the drive to install kubuntu on an older dell.  So it should be working13:55
lordievaderruediger: Hmm I see, as a work around you could try the 12.04 image and upgrade that one to 13.04 (or even use the alternate cd of 12.04)13:56
ruedigerlordievader: thanks.  I'll give it a try14:01

There are git repositories inside it. But unfortunately git clone remotely returns could not read from the location.15:24

Anne-senpaiHi, all.  Possibly complex question:  I'm running 13.04 (32bit), 3.8.0-30-generic kernel, and I want to ditch Noveau for the proprietary nVidia drivers (video card is GeForce GT 540M according to lspci).  I have seen references to a linux-restricted-modules and linux-restricted-modules-common pair of packages to install, as well as envy and envyNG (neither current).  I had tried this once before, but wound up with my screen @ 640x480 20:56
Anne-senpaicentered on the screen with the rest black (the entire usable area was the centered 640x480 box, mouse wouldn't enter outer area, changing resolution did nothing at all, etc)20:56
Anne-senpaiErgo, does this:  http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-ringtail-nvidia.html  work?20:56
Roeyhi20:57

NickDGEgenii, as stated before, i typed it out wrong here. i can make out the difference between sudo update-grub and sudo-update grub20:59
RoeyI'm on Kubuntu "Quantal". Using KDE 4.11.  When I press my cursor against a screen edge I've assigned a Desktop Effect to, the edge lights up in blue, but nothing happens past that.20:59
