Ab3Lhi. i'm trying to connect my pc to the router through eth0 and avoid wlan0 (don't know why, the router is refusing high speed and large bandwidth with wlan).09:44
Ab3Lwhat i would like to do is to avoid a dynamic dhcp ip and to set the same static ip that i had with my wlan0.09:45
Ab3Lthe problem is that when i try to give the data, i cannot reach internet anymore (only connection pc-router is possible).09:46
Ab3Li should make something wrong, or i'm forgetting something. could someone take my hand and make me walking right to the solution as one can do with a 5y.o. child ? thank you in advance.09:48
lordievaderAb3L: Could you pastebin the output of "ip a s" and "ip route"?09:49
Ab3Lthank you lordievader: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8006442/09:51
Ab3Ldo you see, i currently have 192.168.1.43, and would like to have ...12 (the range of dhcp auto ip from the router starts from 33 to 64 or something like that).09:55
lordievaderAb3L: Have you set that in /etc/network/interfaces?09:56
Ab3Lnow it is so: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8006479/09:57
Ab3Li've deleted everything because with my home made settings i couldn't reach internet :D09:58
lordievaderAb3L: If you want a static interface in there you would have to define it. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/10:00
Ab3Llordievader: not in the network manager?10:02
lordievaderAb3L: If you want more flexibility you could do it in the network manager, personally I do not really like the NM for static interfaces.10:04
Ab3Lthx10:05

kidxDoes any on know when KDE5 will e ready for Kubuntu?10:43
kidxAny one know about KDE510:47
kidxhas any one tried it here?10:47
BluesKaj'Morning all10:58
Mamarokkidx: there is no such thing as KDE511:02
Ab3Llordievader: it seems it doesn't work. if i put those settings in /etc/network/interfaces eth0 is no more reachable11:09
Ab3Llordievader: i mean, i cannot use eth0 anymore11:10
lordievaderAb3L: Please pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file.11:12
BluesKajAb3L, /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base overwrites the /etc/resolv.conf file so any settings you need in resolv.conf have to be enterd in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base. That's why your interfaces file isn't connecting eth011:15
BluesKajAb3L, and ignore the warning in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base11:16
Ab3Lok, BluesKaj. i'll give a look there too.11:16
Ab3Lbtw, this is what i put in /etc/network/interfaces: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8006991/   . then i've commented broadcast and network. but eth0 was unreachable.11:17
lordievaderAb3L: What's the output of are you able to ping 8.8.8.8?11:19
Ab3Llordievader: seems everything is ok: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8007007/11:21
kidxok plasma 511:22
kidxor is plasma 5 still buggy?11:22
Ab3LBluesKaj: /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base is empty11:22
lordievaderAb3L: So it is the DNS, follow BluesKaj's advice.11:22
Ab3LBluesKaj: and this is /etc/resolv.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8007025/11:23
Ab3Lnext step ?11:25
lordievaderAb3L: You want to add "192.168.1.1" as your DNS.11:25
BluesKajAb3L, so you aren't using network manager I assume ?11:27
lordievaderBluesKaj: No.11:29
Ab3Lyou're loosing me. sorry. i'd like to have static ip 192.168.1.12. then have i to edit /etc/network/interfaces like in http://paste.ubuntu.com/8006991/ right? but so i cannot use eth0 anymore. where should i put DNS ?11:30
Ab3LBluesKaj: i tried to set static ip through network manager. but i think i'm doing something wrong and have no access to internet11:31
lordievaderAb3L: Yes that is correct, all you need to do is add the dns server either to that file or to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head11:31
BluesKajok , good ...perhaps the /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base file is no longer in use , it's been a while since I used static IP without network manager. I switched back to NM about a yr ago when I started using openvpn11:32
Ab3LBluesKaj: are you able to set static ip in NM?11:33
lordievaderAb3L: Add "dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1" to your /etc/network/interfaces file, it is the nicest approach.11:33
BluesKajno11:33
BluesKajlordievader, I tried adding the the nameservbers to the network interfaces , but itdidn't worj in my setup , I had to add it to/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base or head11:35
* BluesKaj searches for his glasses11:35
lordievaderBluesKaj: It might be that you where missing a package.11:36
lordievaderThe resolvconf package needs to be installed.11:37
BluesKajlordievader, adding the nameservers to the interfaces file seems more direct and efficient tho11:37
lordievaderBluesKaj: It is nicer as you can have different dns's per interface. Instead of a global dns.11:37
Ab3Llook. this is the output of my ifconfig: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8007115/11:38
Ab3Land this that of /etc/network/interfaces: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8007126/11:39
Ab3Lnotice, i've commented broadcast, because i think this is optional, isn't it?11:40
lordievaderAb3L: Not if you want to be able to generate broadcast traffic.11:41
lordievaderAb3L: We've already established that it is a DNS problem, no need to post ifconfig details ;)11:42
lordievaderAb3L: After you've added the dns-nameserver line have you restarted the interface?11:42
Ab3Llordievader: i posted it because so it is easier to check if i put the right ip numbers.11:43
sasha_добрый день.11:44
Ab3Llordievader: i don't know whether or not i want broadcast traffic.11:44
Ab3Llordievader: i think the ip i put there should be the right one, because i got it from ifconfig. in case i need broadcast traffic i can uncomment it, right?11:45

lordievaderAb3L: Jup.11:46
Ab3Lok. i've uncommented broadcast and let's try with broadcast on. now i think that i've to restart the service so that changes are taken into account, right?11:47
BluesKajAb3L, yes11:47
lordievaderAb3L: For the moment, the broadcast settings do not matter. What does matter however are the dns settings.11:48
Ab3Li've to give something like : sudo service networking stop, and then start.11:48
Ab3Lmeanwhile i loose the line... am i right?11:49
BluesKajrestart]11:49
Ab3Lsudo service networking restart ?11:49
* Ab3L is waiting for a Yes or No11:50
BluesKajAb3L, it used to be, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart11:50
BluesKajbut you might be right11:51
Ab3LBluesKaj: ok. it should be the same. i'm trying your line first.11:51
Ab3Lmmmh.... with "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" i got no message in my terminal.11:52
lordievaderBluesKaj: Those two are equivalent.11:53
Ab3Lmy ip still ends by 4311:53
lordievaderAb3L: Was NM running when you started to config this?11:53
Ab3Llordievader: yes11:54
BluesKajlordievader, I used to get a warning about init.d11:54
lordievaderAb3L: Then the NM has claimed the device. Easiest would be to simply reboot.11:54
Ab3LBluesKaj: me too11:54
lordievaderBluesKaj: It is not the prefered way, but it should still work.11:54
Ab3Llordievader: ok. i'll reboot the system.11:55
BluesKajlordievader, I removed NM when using static IP so it wouldn 't overwrite resolv.conf ...suppose I could have disabled it11:57
lordievaderBluesKaj: NM doesn't use devices specified in /etc/network/interfaces12:00
BluesKajbut i have to admit NM has improved since yrs ago when I dropped it in favour of network interfaces and resolv.conf12:01
BluesKajlordievader, well it still overwrites the resolv.conf file afaik]12:02
Ab3LBluesKaj: lordievader: it was unsuccessful. with those settings i cannot reach the router.12:10
Ab3Lhere is what i have after reboot: http://wstaw.org/m/2014/08/10/NM.png12:13
Ab3Ldo you see NM on the top right ? no interface available.12:15
=== shadeslayer_ is now known as shadeslayer
BluesKajAb3L, check this out , it's a bit dated so substitute /etc/resolv.conf settings to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head , http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html12:18
Ab3LBluesKaj: but that file contains no useful information. i've nothing to erase.12:21
BluesKajyour dns nameserver settings should be entered in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head12:23
lordievaderAb3L: That about the NM not showing any interface is correct. NM no longer manages them.12:26
lordievaderAb3L: Was more interested in the "ip a s" output at that stage.12:26
BluesKajAb3L, like so http://paste.kde.org/p8eg4lfzy12:26
BluesKajjust substitute your numbers12:27
Ab3Llordievader: here ifconfig, ip a s, and ip route, after reboot12:28
Ab3LBluesKaj: is that your /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head ?12:29
BluesKajit was , but i no longer use it, it's just acopy since i switched to NM12:30
Ab3LBluesKaj: and you never set a static ip in NM ?12:31
BluesKajno12:31
BluesKajI removed NM12:31
BluesKajbut one can jusrt disable NM if needed12:32
BluesKajat the time NM kept re-enabling itself so i just removed it...that was quite a few yrs ago12:33
BluesKajit's too complicated to use a vpn service without NM , so I use it now12:37
lordievaderAb3L: Err, where?12:46
Ab3Li'm breaking my head against the wall...12:55
Ab3Llordievader: do you remember what is the name of that application that limits the bandwidth? it is something like hot dog....13:00
lordievaderAb3L: ? I have no idea what you are talking about... Did you succeed in setting a static ip?13:00
Ab3Llordievader: no. i didn't. i'm trying to make the void in my head, so maybe after i'll have some idea on how to set that damned static ip.13:01
lordievaderAb3L: Could you pastebin the output of "ip a s" and "ip route" after you've enabled a static ip?13:06
Ab3Lhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/800774013:07
Ab3Lsome output...13:07
Ab3Lip a s, ip route, ifconfig13:08
lordievaderAb3L: This is after a reboot with the static ip set up?13:11
Ab3Llordievader: yes, and you can see at line 29? my static ip seems to have been accepted. but if you see at the picture i sent before, i've no connection available.13:11
Ab3Lhttp://wstaw.org/m/2014/08/10/NM.png13:12
lordievaderAb3L: As I've told you before, that is NM, NM doesn't do anything anymore that is correct.13:18
lordievaderAb3L: Are you able to ping your router?13:18
Ab3Ldidn't try.13:19
Ab3Las i saw NM showed no connection, i saved the output i've pastebinned, commented the lines in interfaces and reboot again13:20
Ab3Li retry13:20
Ab3Lwait for me13:20
Ab3Las i'm chatting... i'm online13:27
Ab3Li'm so sorry, lordievader13:28
Ab3Lbut nm was confusing me13:28
lordievaderAb3L: ;)13:30
BluesKajnow I'm confused, why doesn't he just disable NM it's interfering with his resolv.conf settings \13:37
lordievaderBluesKaj: It doesn't ;)13:38
BluesKajwell seems to me it's mucking things up13:39
lordievaderBluesKaj: He was simply confused, NM no longer showed any interfaces and Ab3L thought this meant it didn't work.13:39
lordievaderBluesKaj: Everything works now...13:39
BluesKajI was looking at controlling openvpn from the interfaces and resolv.conf files , but it was too much trouble, NM does the job nicely now13:41
BluesKajit's much improved from a few yrs ago13:41
mparilloWhenever I install Kubuntu to a VM, I simply select Guided - Use entire [virtual] disk. If I want to install 14.10 and 14.04.1 and dual-boot, which should I select?14:05
BluesKajmparillo, do that with both OSs on the virtual partitions afaik14:08
lordievadermparillo, BluesKaj: That is the easiest/cleanest.14:09
mparilloThank you BluesKaj and lordievader. Virtual Partitions = LVM?14:10
lordievadermparillo: For example.14:10
BluesKajit's not really a dual boot, it's 2 guest OSs14:11
mparilloTY, and I already have used guest OSs. I guess I am looking at partitioning my disk, and at boot time selecting one release or the other.14:14
lordievadermparillo: Real or virtual?14:15
mparilloI think real. I have 250 GB, which should be plenty big for separate instances.14:16
mparilloI do not have much user data.14:16
BluesKajmparillo, yes, real is my preference altho VMs have their place14:18
lordievadermparillo: The way I do multi-boot is by having one /home and a logical volume for each os.14:19
mparilloThank you. And the way to use logical volumes is to pick Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM?14:21
lordievadermparillo: No that will format the whole drive.14:21
kdeuser56ssareen: with kubuntu 14.04 you can be sure it works and the kde version is not too outdated14:22
lordievadermparillo: What is your current situation and what do you want to do?14:22
ssareenCould you suggest a distribution in which kdevelop works fine14:23
ssareenAnd installs without hussle14:23
lordievaderssareen: kdeuser56 just did, Kubuntu Trusty.14:23
kdeuser56ssareen: kubuntu ;-) utopic is the unreleased version, not stable yet, so you have to expect rough edges, though most of the time it works great14:23
ssareenOkay14:24
kdeuser56ssareen: http://se.cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/14.04/release/ download the 14.04.1 version14:24
mparilloI would like to completely blow away my disk. I would like to install 14.10. But if I would like the option of installing the 14.10 Plasma Next version also. Then choose which to boot at boot time. No need to share data between them (everything I have fits within dropbox).14:24
kdeuser56mparillo: where is the problem? create two partitions on one install regular 14.10 on the other partition the plasma next version14:25
lordievadermparillo: You have absolutely no valuable data on the disk?14:25
lordievadermparillo: If so, first time round use  "guided - use entire disk and lvm", second time round you'll have to use the mini iso as custom lvm setups are too hard for ubiquity.14:26
mparillolordievader: No valuable data.14:27
tsimpsonyou can't do it from the manual partition setup?14:27
mparilloI have never done anything other than Guided - Use entire [virtual] disk.14:28
mparilloSo I could use the entire disk, and then shrink it when I want to dual boot, but I have never tried that also.14:29
lordievadertsimpson: The manual partition setup has trouble with lvm volumes for as far as I'm aware.14:33
BluesKajmparillo, check this out, http://askubuntu.com/questions/343268/how-to-use-manual-partitioning-during-installation14:35

BluesKajskinux, using sudo ?15:23
skinuxYes.15:23
tsimpsonis it maybe a 32bit binary and you're on 64bit (or vice versa)?15:24
tsimpsoncheck what "file /path/to/bin" says15:24

skinuxIt says 'data'15:24
BluesKajerr command15:25
skinux??15:25
tsimpsonseems like it's not any kind of file type the system recognizes15:25
skinuxThat must mean downloaded was corrupted.15:25
tsimpsoncheck if there's a md5sum or sha1sum of the download you can check against15:26

jaapioI have a problem that some jpg images are shown with the wrong colors. Switching to an other user gives a normal view of these images. So I think it must be some setting in my account?17:48
Walexjaapio: that's extremely unlikely17:59
Walexjaapio: also your report is amazingly vague. Which program? How "wrong" are the colours?18:00
jaapioWalex: all application. for example http://ic.tweakimg.net/ext/i/1404376942.png this is pink on my screen18:01
jaapiobut when I switch to an other user account it's black18:01
lordievaderjaapio: Have you made changes to the gamma settings or other video related settings?18:02
jaapiolordievader: not that I'm aware of18:02
Walexjaapio: note that is a PNG.18:03
Walexjaapio: also note on that my system that box is neither pink nor black, it is sort of fdark goldenrod18:03
lordievaderSame here ;)18:04
Walexjaapio: it is more likely that your browser or your X windows server is in a corrupted state.18:04
lordievaderjaapio: Is your monitor connected through VGA?18:04
jaapiolordievader: no dvi.18:04
jaapioWalex: sounds like a reboot should solve this. Which is not the case?18:05
Walexjaapio: try to download that image and look at it with something like 'gwenview'18:05
Walexjaapio: cd /tmp; wget http://ic.tweakimg.net/ext/i/1404376942.png; gwenview 1404376942.png18:06
jaapiook, looks gold like18:06
Walexjaapio: then try another browser...18:06
Walextry another browser and this may shiow whether it is a browser issue or an X issue18:07
jaapioWalex: rekonq looks ok. Firefox is pink18:08
Walexjaapio: I have seen that happen either with buggy X drivers or with broken HW GPUs.18:08
DragnslcrLooks gold to me in Firefox18:08
Walexjaapio: but it could be a bug in Firefox for example.18:08
DragnslcrSame in Chromium18:08
Walexjaapio: how does this look like: http://html-color-codes.com/18:09
jaapioWalex: looks ok, checked it with my android phone18:11
Walexjaapio: most likely situation there is something wrong with Firefox, but it could be something wrong with the specific calls that Firefox uses to display images18:12
jaapioIf it is a bug in firefox it doesn't explain why also my raw photos look like they have a pink overlay18:12
lordievaderI'd earlier say it is a buggy driver.18:12
lordievaderjaapio: What graphics card + driver do you use?18:12
Walexjaapio: however, if the color table renders right, that means that probably Firefox renders color right, but somehow decodes or displays compressed images wrong.18:13
jaapiolordievader: an intel onboard chipset  (intel hd graphics 2000/3000)18:14
jaapiolordievader: this board http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H61DES3/18:14
Walexjaapio: I'd also look at 'less less +G /var/log/Xorg.0.log' and 'dmesg | less +G' to see if there are any errors from X or the X driver18:16
Walexjaapio: how to look at the photos that have a "pink overlay"18:16
jaapioWalex: using digikam18:17
Walexjaapio: weird. Same using Gwenview?18:17
jaapiohe, that's strange. Now they look ok. But also in digikam :-S sorry for that one.18:19
jaapioWalex: in the ubuntu channel they told me to execute "gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_color_scheme" but since I'm running kde I though it would have any effect.18:22
jaapioJust tried it. And it looks like it helped?18:22
valoriefirefox uses gtk18:23
jaapiothanks for everyone's help18:24
jaapiovalorie: which is a gnome thing?18:25
valoriegtk is the toolkit that gnome uses18:26
valorieso it's the other way around18:26
Walexjaapio: color schemes apply to the window GUI elements like menus, not to the displayed content.18:26
jaapioso it must be something else.18:27
Walexjaapio: so that command should not have influenced the content.18:27
Walexjaapio: it may be a rather weird bug in Firefox triggered perhaps by some plugin like Flash.18:27
Walexjaapio: try to start a new Firefox instance with a new profile.18:28
jaapioWalex: I just did that. which solved the issue18:28
jaapioso thanks again18:29
Walexjaapio: but it is strnage that it happens with Firefox in two different user accounts that therefore don't share profiles...18:30
Walexjaapio: so it might be driver bugs after all18:30
jaapioIf this happens again I will try to find it. But since the issues are gone it will be hard to find anything. I could have a look in the logs if you are interested18:32
