| jimtendo | Hi guys. Trying to get a "Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E169/E620/E800 HSDPA Modem" (USB GSM Modem) working with Metfone (I'm in Cambodia), but have nooo idea as to how to get this going. Absolutely zero experience with GSM modems. Should it automatically pop up in Network Manager when I plug it in? I've read mixed results in forums so feel clueless! Currently, it doesn't look to be showing up :( | 05:42 |
|---|---|---|
| jussi | jimtendo: is that one of the ones with a memory card also in it? | 05:49 |
| jussi | jimtendo: sometimes they need a software switcher to choose the modem over the memory | 05:50 |
| jimtendo | jussi: Yeah, it is actually... Though the memory card shows as having zero bytes free, so not sure if it actually functions as proper storage. Has a setup.exe on there for Windows install, I assume. | 05:50 |
| jimtendo | jussi: Oh, is that what the usb-modeswitch talk is about possibly?? | 05:50 |
| jussi | jimtendo: exactly | 05:50 |
| jimtendo | jussi: ... I've seen that on forums, but didn't really understand it. Thanks, will check it out! | 05:51 |
| jussi | jimtendo: good luck, been a while since I had to do that | 05:51 |

| Iskren | Hey all! Trying to install Kubuntu 14.10 with Plasma 5 is giving me some grief, I hope anyone here will guide me to install it :) | 13:00 |
| lordievader | Iskren: What problems are you facing? | 13:00 |
| Iskren | lordievader, quite a few actually. I'll describe the procedure, in case if I messed up something. | 13:01 |
| BluesKaj | !plasma5 | Iskren | 13:02 |
| ubottu | Iskren: Kubuntu Plasma 5 is a tech preview. To test it out, see http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-plasma5/daily-live/current/ . If you find a bug, you can also check it with kubuntu-ci images for latest builds. | 13:02 |
| Iskren | First here's some background: The machine is a Lenovo Y510P with dual nvidia cards (no optimus). It want to install Kubuntu on an M2 SSD (64GB). I downloaded the ISO from the http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu site and transfered it onto a USB Pen drive with dd if=kubuntu....iso of=/dev/sdc bs=32768. | 13:03 |
| Iskren | Forgot to say, this machine is running UEFI and I need it due the Windows 8 that came with it. After DD'ing the ISO I booted the CD and it failed to start sddm (error was Unknown unit: user@999.service) | 13:04 |
| Iskren | So I was at a terminal and I stopped sddm (service sddm stop) and started X manually as the regular user (X :0 -ac & sleep 2 && DISPLAY=:0 startkde) which started KDE Plasma 5. | 13:05 |
| lordievader | Iskren: If I may believe the mailing list threre are quite a few problems with ssdm + nvidia. | 13:05 |
| Iskren | I started the installation from the icon on the desktop, selected a 40 G partition on the M2 SSD and setup the system, then waited for the installer to complete. | 13:06 |
| Iskren | It installed and all was well until the reboot. | 13:06 |
| BluesKaj | plasma5 isn't ready for normal use IME | 13:06 |
| Iskren | I end up at a GRUB2 prompt | 13:06 |
| Iskren | Perhaps the reason is for the unusual setup... | 13:07 |
| lordievader | Iskren: What kind of disk/partition setup did you use? | 13:07 |
| Iskren | The SSD has 3 partitions, 200 MB EFI partition, 40G ext4 partition and the rest is used for caching with bcache | 13:08 |
| Iskren | So grub2 files were installed on the ssd partition 1 (sda1) | 13:08 |
| Iskren | The OS itself is installed on sda2 | 13:08 |
| Iskren | EFI boots grub, grub errors out but i can't read the error as it's on the screen for about a fraction of a second | 13:09 |
| Iskren | I tried copying the kernel and ramdisk on the efi partition and manually loading with the linux and initrd commands, then issuing boot from the GRUB2 prompt, but it got stuck at boot somewhere after trying to run plymouth (IIRC) | 13:10 |
| lordievader | Iskren: Hmm, I must say that I have no experience with UEFI. But this sounds like grub did not install correctly. What you could do is booting a live cd/usb and installing grub from the command line. | 13:10 |
| Iskren | BluesKaj, I used plasma 5 on a slackware64-current but it requires SO much maintenance... I just don't have the time. That's why I looked at Kubuntu, as that's what Project Neon5 was based on (AFAIK) | 13:12 |
| Iskren | lordievader, I could try that but I'm not sure if GRUB is going to play nice with it. Do you know if I can boot kubuntu with elilo? | 13:13 |
| lordievader | Iskren: Never tried another bootloader other than grub. | 13:14 |
| Iskren | I guess I'll try it out and see where it'll take me then. Thanks! :) | 13:16 |
| lordievader | Iskren: Good luck anyhow ;) | 13:16 |
| jimtendo | Hi guys, have a Huawei E1750 3G USB thing (according to gsmctl) and believe it has loaded correctly (can probe /dev/ttyUSB0 with "chat"), but can't get Plasma's Network Manager's enable Mobile Broadband checkbox to show. Is there something else I've got to install to have this work? I'm running Kubuntu 14.04 and can't see anything obvious missing. | 13:18 |
| trung_ | hello | 13:33 |
| trung_ | I'm using kubuntu 14.10 and I'm having a serious problem with my graphic card | 13:34 |
| B1nny | !kubuntu | trung_ | 13:34 |
| ubottu | trung_: Kubuntu is the Ubuntu flavour using KDE Software and the KDE Plasma Workspaces. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde | 13:34 |
| trung_ | is this not kubuntu channel? | 13:35 |
| hateball | It is | 13:35 |
| hateball | trung_: What chipset, and what problem? | 13:35 |
| B1nny | oh ffs | 13:35 |
| B1nny | sorry :( | 13:35 |
| B1nny | I used the wrong command | 13:35 |
| trung_ | Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller | 13:36 |
| trung_ | the problem is like this | 13:36 |
| trung_ | I put it to sleep using pm-suspend | 13:36 |
| trung_ | 2 hours later I turn it on and the webcam is now constantly on | 13:36 |
| trung_ | but the more serious problem is that it's like the hue is messed up | 13:36 |
| trung_ | the screen is reddish and the color is messed up | 13:36 |
| trung_ | it retains after reboot so I'm not sure if this is an OS problem :( | 13:37 |
| trung_ | also the webcam cannot be detected anymore | 13:37 |
| hateball | trung_: Is this a new install? | 13:37 |
| trung_ | I recently updated | 13:37 |
| trung_ | 3-4 days ago | 13:37 |
| trung_ | from 14.04 | 13:37 |
| hateball | Did that issue exist in 14.04 ? | 13:37 |
| trung_ | no | 13:38 |
| hateball | You say it's still there after reboot, permanently? | 13:38 |
| hateball | Like is the screen red now? | 13:38 |
| trung_ | it's not exactly red, it's reddish (you can still see most stuff but its like going to an image editor and mess with the hue) | 13:39 |
| rberg | I found that since the upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10 I need to kill NetworkManager to get it to connect to wifi or eth0 after a resume from suspend, has anyone else had this issue or know of a solution? | 13:49 |
| BluesKaj | rberg, not exactly, but it is slow to connect after a suspend , taking about 30secs here. | 14:07 |
| Fanfare | Q: what happened to acpi-support??? missing files like /etc/acpi/rotatescreen.sh | 14:09 |
| rberg | nice thing about these 'next gen' init systems is that I can just kill a process like NetworkManager and it immediately respawns :) | 14:12 |
| BluesKaj | rberg, so systemd not enabled then | 14:19 |
| rberg | looks like upstart is still in use for init with systemd-{login,udev} | 14:22 |
| TeraJL | hi there, anyone knows the advantages/disadvantes or even what may be the diference, betweeen kubuntu and netrunner? | 14:26 |
| shiggity | hello all... I hope someone can help me | 14:35 |
| shiggity | I"m trying to get build-essential and its package deps to download ONLY so I can copy them to a USB stick to install onto a device that has no network as of yet | 14:36 |
| shiggity | I can't seem to get it right | 14:36 |
| shiggity | anyone? | 14:39 |
| dominic__ | Just switched to NVidia driver and taskbar has gone, won't let me switch back to x-org driver, any ideas? | 14:39 |
| genii | !aptoncd | 14:42 |
| ubottu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 14:42 |
| genii | shiggity: Please see above | 14:43 |
| shiggity | thanks | 14:43 |
| yossarianuk | dominic__: Make sure you have installed correctly | 14:46 |
| yossarianuk | dominic__: as as test - go to console | 14:47 |
| yossarianuk | dominic__: ALT+CTRL+F2 | 14:47 |
| yossarianuk | dominic__: add a new user | 14:47 |
| yossarianuk | dominic__: reboot | 14:47 |
| yossarianuk | dominic__: login as the new user to test. | 14:47 |
| yossarianuk | dominic__: did you use the 'additional drivers' tool ? | 14:48 |
| dominic__ | Okay, will try. | 14:48 |
| shiggity | genii, question though... does aptoncd merely copy what packages are already installed, or download them fresh? | 14:48 |
| shiggity | wuth deps | 14:48 |
| shiggity | with* | 14:48 |
| shiggity | I need to get build-essential and all its deps to an offline machine | 14:49 |
| shiggity | !offline | 14:49 |
| ubottu | If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. See also !APTonCD | 14:49 |
| shiggity | genii, ? | 14:55 |
| dominic__ | will have to manually turn computer off as it wont reboot. CTRL+ALT+F2 doesn't work but created a new user via system settings. Back in a mo. | 14:56 |
| genii | shiggity: Apologies on lag, at work. As far as I know, the aptoncd will make a repository of all the stuff currently on a system. The instructions for !offline are probably more what you need ( although sucks it requires synaptic). Alternately you try to also just do apt-get download build-essential and then cp them over | 14:58 |
| shiggity | hm | 14:58 |
| shiggity | ok so if I was to do dkpg -i build-essential from the ISO would it find deps? | 15:00 |
| shiggity | genii, | 15:00 |
| shiggity | OOH! I did dkpg -i * and it's installing it all | 15:01 |
| shiggity | SWEET | 15:01 |
| shiggity | genii, I tried that and it just gets build-essential itself and not the deps | 15:10 |
| dominic__ | No, new user wasn't created and it won't create one. will have to try re-install I guess. Second time this has happened though. | 15:11 |
| dominic__ | Oh, and in answer to your earlier question yossarian Yes, used additional drivers tool. | 15:17 |
| genii | shiggity: Another way might be to dump all the apt variables into /etc/apt/apt.conf ( which doesn't exist by default on Ubuntu) on the machine which you downloading the files with. Then edit all the DIR variables to point to a different location than normally used, and then "install" whatever you need with the system temporarily set this way, then move it all over after. | 15:17 |
| shiggity | that sounds so complicated though | 15:18 |
| genii | shiggity: If you do for instance apt-config dump >> filename ... all the settings of apt are in "filename" and you can go edit them to your liking, making it use a different path than / to install things to or different than /var/cache/apt for the rest, etc | 15:20 |
| shiggity | ehhhhhh | 15:22 |
| shiggity | !offline | 15:22 |
| ubottu | If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. See also !APTonCD | 15:22 |
| shiggity | once I have synaptic on the other machine how would I call up the DL list script thing @ genii ? | 15:27 |
| shiggity | There's gotta be a better way to do this <_< | 15:37 |
| BluesKaj | is the machine anywhere near an internet access point? | 15:45 |
| BluesKaj | shiggity, ^ | 15:48 |
| shiggity | BluesKaj, it is bt I'm trying to get its wifi driver installed from from src.... | 15:48 |
| shiggity | but* | 15:48 |
| shiggity | and any time I try and insmod the resulting ko it yells at me that it's not right | 15:49 |
| shiggity | invalid format or w/e | 15:49 |
| shiggity | BluesKaj, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2249936 | 15:49 |
| shiggity | I've got basically what the OP's got | 15:50 |
| shiggity | BluesKaj, ? | 15:51 |
| shiggity | if you're gonna say "ethernet" well I can't... adapter | 15:52 |
| shiggity | no adapter* | 15:52 |
| BluesKaj | shiggity, no I was wondering about the error | 15:53 |
| shiggity | what error | 15:53 |
| shiggity | oh mine? | 15:53 |
| BluesKaj | nvalid format or w/e | 15:53 |

| Walex | arpan: 'kget' should do that automagically *if the server supports restarting. You may have to rename the file without the ".part" suffix though. | 16:35 |
| Walex | arpan: almost all FTP servers support restarting, but many HTTP servers don't. | 16:35 |
| genii | If there's a direct link to the download you can also use wget with the -c switch ( destination file needs to be renamed without the .part suffix same as method Walex describes) | 16:39 |
