[05:42] <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 :(
[05:49] <jussi> jimtendo: is that one of the ones with a memory card also in it?
[05:50] <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
[05:51] <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
[05:54] <roger_> Got a quick question guys.
[05:55] <roger_> If someone can help me out
[05:55] <roger_> Is there any way to increase my connections peed when I usb tether my phone?
[07:13] <soee> good morning
[08:06] <lordievader> Good morning.
[08:07] <David1977_> morning
[08:07] <lordievader> Hey David1977_, how are you?
[08:08] <David1977_> fine, thx...you?
[08:08] <lordievader> David1977_: Just woken up... I need coffee........
[08:08] <David1977_> already got one ;)..woken up a bit earlier ;)
[08:32] <Saphyel> g morning lordievader
[08:33] <lordievader> Hey Saphyel. how are you?
[09:15] <Saphyel> lordievader: fine and you??
[09:17] <lordievader> Saphyel: Doing good here :)
[09:18] <Saphyel> lordievader: btw i have a question for you :D
[09:19] <lordievader> Saphyel: Go ahead.
[09:19] <Saphyel> do you use Spotify?
[09:19] <lordievader> Saphyel: At times, yes.
[09:19] <Saphyel> do you know any alternative for avoid his shitty client?
[09:21] <lordievader> No, unfortunatly not. I'm glad it supports mpris though :)
[09:23] <Anpu> hi, anyone have problem with Kdeconnect on Plasma 5?
[09:29] <Saphyel> maybe I have to change spotify instead of his client xD
[09:29] <Saphyel> Anpu: I didn't have any problems yet
[09:44] <Anpu> Saphyel: I cant find kdeconnect anywhere even it is installed? And it also didnt connect with my phone like italways does
[10:09] <boris> I dont know what is the best scanning software for kubuntu
[10:10] <boris> my scanner canon mg2200 is not working ?
[10:10] <boris> any advice
[10:13] <yossarianuk> skanlite is good
[10:13] <yossarianuk> you need cups/sane I believe also install.
[10:15] <billbo> you might also need to install a specific driver for your scanner as well.
[10:41] <HinzundKunz_> @boris: try this one: http://waluyo-adi-siswanto.blogspot.de/2013/06/install-printerscanner-canon-pixma.html
[11:37] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:39] <Saphyel> he BluesKaj
[12:43] <BluesKaj> Hi Saphyel
[13:00] <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?
[13:01] <Iskren> lordievader, quite a few actually. I'll describe the procedure, in case if I messed up something.
[13:02] <BluesKaj> !plasma5 | Iskren
[13:03] <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.
[13:04] <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)
[13:05] <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.
[13:06] <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
[13:07] <Iskren> Perhaps the reason is for the unusual setup...
[13:07] <lordievader> Iskren: What kind of disk/partition setup did you use?
[13:08] <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
[13:09] <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
[13:10] <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.
[13:12] <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)
[13:13] <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?
[13:14] <lordievader> Iskren: Never tried another bootloader other than grub.
[13:16] <Iskren> I guess I'll try it out and see where it'll take me then. Thanks! :)
[13:16] <lordievader> Iskren: Good luck anyhow ;)
[13:18] <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.
[13:33] <trung_> hello
[13:34] <trung_> I'm using kubuntu 14.10 and I'm having a serious problem with my graphic card
[13:34] <B1nny> !kubuntu | trung_
[13:35] <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
[13:36] <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
[13:37] <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 ?
[13:38] <trung_> no
[13:38] <hateball> You say it's still there after reboot, permanently?
[13:38] <hateball> Like is the screen red now?
[13:39] <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)
[13:49] <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?
[14:07] <BluesKaj> rberg, not exactly, but it is slow to connect after a suspend , taking about 30secs here.
[14:09] <Fanfare> Q: what happened to acpi-support??? missing files like /etc/acpi/rotatescreen.sh
[14:12] <rberg> nice thing about these 'next gen'  init systems is that I can just kill a process like NetworkManager and it immediately respawns :)
[14:19] <BluesKaj> rberg, so systemd not enabled then
[14:22] <rberg> looks like upstart is still in use for init with systemd-{login,udev}
[14:26] <TeraJL> hi there, anyone knows the advantages/disadvantes or even what may be the diference, betweeen kubuntu and netrunner?
[14:35] <shiggity> hello all... I hope someone can help me
[14:36] <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
[14:39] <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?
[14:42] <genii> !aptoncd
[14:43] <genii> shiggity: Please see above
[14:43] <shiggity> thanks
[14:46] <yossarianuk> dominic__: Make sure you have installed correctly
[14:47] <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.
[14:48] <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*
[14:49] <shiggity> I need to get build-essential and all its deps to an offline machine
[14:49] <shiggity> !offline
[14:55] <shiggity> genii, ?
[14:56] <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.
[14:58] <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
[15:00] <shiggity> ok so if I was to do dkpg -i build-essential from the ISO would it find deps?
[15:00] <shiggity> genii,
[15:01] <shiggity> OOH! I did dkpg -i * and it's installing it all
[15:01] <shiggity> SWEET
[15:10] <shiggity> genii, I tried that and it just gets build-essential itself and not the deps
[15:11] <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.
[15:17] <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.
[15:18] <shiggity> that sounds so complicated though
[15:20] <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
[15:22] <shiggity> ehhhhhh
[15:22] <shiggity> !offline
[15:27] <shiggity> once I have synaptic on the other machine how would I call up the DL list script thing @ genii ?
[15:37] <shiggity> There's gotta be a better way to do this <_<
[15:45] <BluesKaj> is the machine anywhere near an internet access point?
[15:48] <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*
[15:49] <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
[15:50] <shiggity> I've got basically what the OP's got
[15:51] <shiggity> BluesKaj,  ?
[15:52] <shiggity> if you're gonna say "ethernet" well I can't...  adapter
[15:52] <shiggity> no adapter*
[15:53] <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] <BluesKaj> yeah
[15:53] <shiggity> let me make it happen so I get the error
[15:56] <BluesKaj> if this is a tablet then I'm not too well versed on linux installs
[15:58] <shiggity> heh it is indeed a tablet
[15:58] <shiggity> @ blaatmeister
[15:58] <shiggity> er BluesKaj
[15:59] <shiggity> and here's the error: "insmod: ERRROR: could not insert module 8723bs.ko: Invalid module format"
[15:59] <shiggity> @ blaatmeister
[15:59] <shiggity> er BluesKaj
[15:59] <shiggity> damnit
[16:00] <shiggity> I'm about ready to give up and start over/on another OS
[16:00] <shiggity> I think it's not liking how I'm building the module
[16:10] <arpan> hi
[16:11] <lordievader> o/
[16:11] <arpan> i was downloading plasma5 iso file and it got interrupted due to power failure. I have .part file downloaded approx 96%. can I use .part file to complete remaining download?
[16:12] <lordievader> arpan: A proper download manager would.
[16:12] <arpan> can't find any option for that in kget
[16:35] <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.
[16:39] <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)
[16:53] <arpan> thanks Walex. let me try that.
[20:03] <Konwhald> hi there
[20:04] <Konwhald> i have some trouble with notifications under kubuntu
[20:04] <Konwhald> kde refuse to use another notification system than the gnome one (notify-osd)
[20:05] <Konwhald> can someone please help ?
[20:08] <Konwhald> (wondering how much peoples are here because it's the channel by default on some IRC clients)
[20:09] <genii> Konwhald: It's often slow here. Best to just say your question, then wait perhaps 5-10 minutes as people leave and join, then re-ask. Eventually someone will usually respond.
[20:09] <genii> ....and they left

[20:55] <david___> I already have Windows vista installed and I have a partition set aside for kubuntu
[20:55] <david___> thank you blueska for responding
[20:57] <BluesKaj> david___, use manual partitioning to install kubuntu in the ubiquity installer, the partitoner will list the partitions anbd you can choose the ext partition there
[20:58] <david___> ubiquity installer?
[20:58] <BluesKaj> yes that's what the kubuntu installer is called
[20:59] <david___> would that be the kubuntu installerr?
[20:59] <david___> ok thank you
[20:59] <david___> I will try that now!

[22:11] <UCY_7400> hello any chance to upgrade kubuntu 14.04 to 14.10 remote from cli
[22:12] <UCY_7400> do-releas-upgrade give me 'no new release'
[22:12] <kbroulik> do-release-upgrade -d ?
[22:13] <lordievader> kbroulik: UCY_7400 You don't want to do that. -d stands for a development release.
[22:13] <lordievader> UCY_7400: Change your upgrade preference to normal. Now it is looking for LTS releases.
[22:13] <UCY_7400> -d to devel ?
[22:14] <kbroulik> ah, right, sorry
[22:14] <UCY_7400> thx
[22:14] <UCY_7400> ok will try
[22:14] <lordievader> UCY_7400: Don't.
[22:14] <lordievader> It's a bad idea.
[22:15] <lordievader> Unless you mean the changing of the upgrade preferences, the go ahead ;)
[22:15] <UCY_7400> yes i meean the pref
[22:21] <UCY_7400> lordievader: works !! thx once more
