DroBuddyI'm running Kubuntu 12.04 Precise and am unable to get my USB tethering to work; I've been googling this for a few days now and haven't been able to make any head-way. `ipconfig usb0` shows it with a valid IPv4 and IPv6 address; `ip route` looks right, but 'ip link show' shows the usb0 state as UNKOWN. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to properly come up?00:49
DroBuddyI was using Kubuntu 13.x but down graded hoping that it would resolve the issue, but alas that didn't help either... I feel like I'm running in circles at this point.00:50
DroBuddyCarrier => sprint, Data => unlimited, Tethering => allowed per plan00:52
DroBuddyadb sees the device and is able to communicate with it; when I switch USB tethering on it shows it as connected in the sys tray, with a valid IP, and DNS appears to be working so I'm not sure what the problem could be.00:53
DroBuddyWhen I attempt to ping google.com it resolves the IP address properly, so that's why I believe the DNS is working properly (and ip route looks right)...00:54
DroBuddyI'm all ears. ;)00:55
DroBuddyI thought it may have been an iptables issue so I did iptables -F to flush all my rules and added a new rule to allow :80 but that didn't help. So, I'm ASSUMING that it's not a FW issue at this point.00:55
apb1963 Anyone know much about jitsi?  I had it working and then I started messing with plugins and now I have no audio.  kubuntu 12.04.300:56
apb1963DroBuddy: -F doesn't reset policies.  Have you tried iptables-save or iptables -L -v to see what's still in your table after you flushed?00:57
apb1963DroBuddy: have you tried ifconfig up ?00:58
DroBuddyI tried ifconfig usb0 up and down then up and it binds to the IP properly... I'll try the iptables cmds now and let ya know00:59
DroBuddyThanks, btw00:59
apb1963can you ping that interface?01:00
DroBuddyI can ping the IP allocated but not the GW01:00
DroBuddyAnd, after looking at iptables -L -v it doesn't show any rules for usb0, only for my virbr0 (used for KVM)01:01
apb1963What is the policy?01:01
DroBuddyOne sec. I'm gonna paste the output into a bin... If I can get pastebin to load. :(01:03
DroBuddyI'm using shared wifi in a bar right now and it's dog slow01:04
apb1963drinking is not the answer ;)01:04
DroBuddylol, I'm not drinking is the sadder part... But it's the closest place that has wifi lol01:04
DroBuddyArgh, ubuntu's pastebin wont load, nor will pastebin.com for some reason... But, I can use IRC and google.01:05
DroBuddyGotta love it.01:05
apb1963try paste.ubuntu.com01:06
DroBuddyHad to untether the phone so it wasn't confused on which interface; now it's loading01:07
DroBuddyhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/6729941/01:07
DroBuddyThat's my current iptables rules after a fresh install.01:07
apb1963ok so policy is accept01:08
apb1963what's your route table look like?01:08
apb1963where/what is your gateway?01:08
DroBuddy192.168.42.101:09
DroBuddyis the GW01:09
apb1963and the ip you're using?01:09
DroBuddy192.168.42.99 is what DHCP is handing out01:09
apb1963netmask? or cidr?01:09
DroBuddy192.168.42.244 is the broadcast, so it's a full block (I forget the CIDR notation off the top of my head)01:10
DroBuddyhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/6729954/ is my ip routes01:10
DroBuddyIt doesn't show anything now for usb0, but I can re-add it real quick... and amend01:10
DroBuddysudo ip address add 192.168.42.99 peer 192.168.42.244 dev usb0 is what I used to add the route last time... But, I'm not 100% it's right. I think it is, I think it is... lol01:11
apb1963it helps to have the route :)01:12
DroBuddyInterestingly enough, turning usb tethering on doesn't kill my IRC connectivity, but stops me from being able to resolve websites...01:14
DroBuddyAnyway, here is the ip route info with usb0 added: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6729972/01:14
DroBuddy:: wishes he would have taken networking classes in school ::01:15
DroBuddylol01:15
apb1963default via 192.168.42.129 dev usb001:19
apb1963why?01:19
apb1963cat /etc/network/interfaces01:20
DroBuddyArgh. This is a bit frustrating.01:24
DroBuddyIt's getting late; I'm gonna try and tackle this in the morning. Thanks for your time, apb01:24
