RoyalCatHello, I would appreciate some help regarding pppoeconf on kubuntu 13.1000:16
RoyalCatI have connected to a DSL connection using pppoeconf, but network manager seems to be unable to register eth0 (Either for DSL or other ethernet connections), ifup/ifdown pon/poff did not help. Could resetting certain config files help?00:18

mh_Hello everybody.00:56
mh_I am not sure whether I encountered a bug or I can't get access-point mode to work.00:57
mh_The first time I created a Wireless (shared) connection everything worked flawlessly. Now I have no idea how to "connect to" (create) the network again. It is not among the "previous connections" and even if I delete it and create again from scratch nothing happens.00:58

TheyTookerJobsHi, I am new to KUBuntu and Linux. I have a drive that I want to format in ntfs so windows can share it. I went into KDE Partition Manager, created a new partition table and told it to format it as ntfs. The partition manager still shows it as unallocated. How can I go about assigning this to something like /storage in a way windows will also see this drive?02:57
TheyTookerJobsJust tells me error create a new partition on /dev/sdb02:59

excognachi anybody else has problems in 12.04 with timed shut down?08:36
Roryexcognac: What problem are you having?08:52
excognacRory: everytime it bugs and never shuts down correctly. otherwise i have no problems with anything not even with hibernate. it's a laptop08:53
Roryexcognac: So you try to shut your machine down but it doesn't shut down> Where does "timed" come into this?08:53
excognacRory: sudo shut down +n08:54
excognaceg 3008:54
Roryexcognac: Does regular shutdown work? ie is it only timed shutdown that fails?08:54
excognacRory: exactly08:55
excognacregardless i do +n or hh:mm08:56
Roryexcognac: What happens instead of it shutting down?08:56
excognackde-plasma crashes, bug report pops. but bug reporting is buggy, as it always has been09:01

yossarianukok - bit of a major issue - in our office the kerio firewall/gateway keeps terminating connections to ubuntu's servers - apt-get will just keep re-trying to download the same file (usually a 10+MB file) over and over again (forever)10:37
yossarianukits effecting about 5 people running kubuntu10:38
WizardLOL, you run router on windows :>10:38
yossarianukcan I change any apt-get settings to try to prevent this - i.e somehow make it more firewall friendly?10:38
=== soul is now known as Guest73832
Wizardyossarianuk: Yes, you can.10:38
WizardAlthough it is not apt-get which acts weird. Your "firewall" does.10:39
yossarianukI'm asking as I had a similar thing with arch linux - with that you can choose rsync / wget  as the download mechanism.10:39
WizardWell, the issue is that something kills apt-get connection, right?10:43
yossarianukWizard: what can I do (in terms of apt-get)10:47
yossarianukps - we'bve found out why - the kerio gateway is actually Linux btw10:48

incognitoHi everyone, I have a wifi connection problem with my laptop. My lenovo laptop has a useless wifi adapter (Atheros AR9285) of which doesn't exist a working driver, so I have bought a usb wifi adapter (Asus n10) which is linux compatible. The problem's that when i use that to connect to router, I notice the same problems I had using the internal adapter (low signal power, connection lost every 5 minutes, extreme connection slowness)!12:15
incognitoHow could it be? What can I do to solve this problem? Thanks12:15
ikoniaincognito: how are you using / seeing the same problem as the old one, as you said there was no working driver12:17
incognitoikonia: theoretically the working driver exists, but practically that's not true12:19
ikoniaincognito: ok, so what chipset is in your new wireless device12:19
incognitoikonia: lsusb output => Realtek RTL8188SU12:20
ikoniaincognito: ok, so have you checked the status/known problems with that chipset ?12:20
ikoniaincognito: looks like a lot of known problems with that chipset on linux12:22
ikonialooks like you can get it working, but it requires effort and depend on your kernel and device firmware12:24
incognitoikonia: Oh... I have read that usb adapter was completely linux compatible12:24
ikoniaincognito: where did you read that ?12:24
ikonia(I don't doubt it, I'm just reading a lot of historical problems/changes with this module in the kernel)12:24
incognitoFirst of all on Amazon site, then on other web sites12:25
ikoniahttp://www.asus.com/Networking/USBN10/12:25
ikoniaasus site says support windows 7 and mac 10.612:25
ikoniathat' doesn't mean "that it" but that's what the vendor supports12:26
ikoniawhich isn't a great start12:26
incognitoikonia: On the package there's written "linux compatible" too...12:27
ikoniathe official linux driver prodided by realteak appears to have supported at the 2.6 kernel, and you have to use a different module for the 3.X kernel, which isn't native to that12:27
ikoniaincognito: it is linux compatible, but for the 2.6 kernel, and via a generic module in the 3.X kernel, which may explain a lot of the problems I'm reading about12:27
incognitoikonia: That's a bad thing...12:28
ikoniahttp://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=USB-N10&os=2912:29
ikoniaI suspect you'll see a similar problem with the firmware too, although I don't know for a fact12:29
incognitoikonia: I try to install the original firmware... Let's see12:30
ikoniadon't rush in12:30
ikoniare-read what I just said12:30
incognitoikonia: I have read it, but have I any alternative roads?12:32
eutherianot sure if i will get moaned at for not using kubuntu directory, but i installed mint 15, thought maybe i will try kde, installed kubuntu desktop and here i am with kde,  the only weird thing i have is that the context menu's appear in a base theme rather than oxygen, which just seems like something is broken12:39
Tm_Teutheria: we cannot know what mint does so we cannot support it (:12:41
eutheriaas i did apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and it installed from the normal ubuntu location12:42
eutheriathat it isn't any different12:42
lordievaderDoes Mint use Ubuntu repo's?12:45
eutheriayes12:46
eutheriaall mint seems to be is a ppa on top of ubuntu, their ppa contains mate, cinnamon and mdm12:47
lordievaderDidn't know that. Learn something new everyday ;)12:49
lordievadereutheria: Anyhow I think this is more a question for #linuxmint-help.12:50
eutheriai think they just add their own theme, it is supposed to be "untouched" as far as things go12:51
Tm_Teutheria: atleast back in the day there were numerous incompatible changes done in mint, but yeah this is for kubuntu not mint-kde or any other derivative12:54
CaytonHi all! I am using Kubuntu 13.10. How can I change the wallpaper at the lock screen?13:01

lordievaderCayton: For as far as I know, this is the only way.13:10
CaytonOkay, Thank you. Is there no configuration file?13:11
lordievaderCayton: Probably, don't know where though. Look through ~/.kde/share/[config|apps]13:14
eagles0513875anyone have an idea how i can permanently set the master channel in kmix13:14
eutheriahow can i stop a windows from going transparent when it is dragged?13:15

therazrAnyone using ibus with kubuntu 13.10?16:16
lordievadertherazr: At times, yes.16:16
therazrlordievader: How do you configure it, and make it default?16:16
lordievadertherazr: I don't have it as default. I simply start it when I need it.16:17
therazrlordievader: What language do you input with ibus?16:17
lordievadertherazr: Japanese.16:18
therazrlordievader: Yea me 2, but how do I make programs like libreoffice and firefox aware that I'm using ibus to input?16:18
therazrI tried to use "export..." lines in .bashrc but still I can't input in Firefox and some GTK software (i have ibus-gtk installed)16:19
lordievadertherazr: You have enabled ibus? Nowadays the shortcut seems to be super+space.16:20
therazrlordievader: yes16:20
therazrlordievader: tell me the steps you take to input16:21
lordievadertherazr: I run in a shell or in krunner the ibus-daemon, hit super+space, and I can type Japanese: やった!16:24
therazr:(16:25
therazrIs it kubuntu 13.10? And what packages do you have installed, related to Japanese16:25
therazrand ibus16:25
lordievadertherazr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6382865/ and their dependencies, I run 14.04. (That is not a typo)16:26
therazrthanks man, will take a look. Btw you are bleeding edge :)16:27
lordievadertherazr: Hmm, I see your problem. Firefox ignores ibus. I know notice that chrome doesn't like ibus either.16:27
therazrlordievader: So ibus doesn't work in Firefox for you too?16:29
lordievadertherazr: Nope. Nor in chrome.16:29
therazryea. Could you try installing ibus-gtk and ibus-gtk3 and tell me what gives?16:31
therazrlordievader: Very bad since sometimes I need to rely on Google Translate for some things :S16:32
lordievadertherazr: Will you be available later? I'm going to the supermarket to get some dinner.16:37
therazrlordievader: Maybe, can't tell for sure. Anyway, thanks for your help, I'll try some fixes.16:37
