jubo2Suppose I have a machine with Ethernet and WiFi connected. Can I choose what to route to what internet ?08:26
jubo2I mean I'd like to download all the big data items via landline coz it's unecolo to do so on wireless networks08:27
hateballjubo2: sure08:29
jubo2hateball: got any software names or urls ?08:30
jubo2or is it with not-off-the-shelf stuff08:30
hateballjubo2: well actually describe a bit more in detail08:30
hateballyou have two interfaces on a LAN, but you want only one of them to be used for WAN?08:30
hateballor should both use WAN but iface1 for certain urls, and iface2 for others?08:31
hateballhmmm, seems you couldnt set metric with network-manager until recently08:33
jubo2hateball: I have ethernet connected to 20/1 Mbit/s ADSL. I have wireless connected to a portable 4G WiFi basestation. I want irc to go to wireless, all upload ( 4G is 15x faster uploader here where I live than the landline ) goes to 4G and TOR.. I dunno where TOR goes..08:33
hateballthat'd be one way to go about it08:33
hateballah08:34
hateballhmmm08:34
hateballthat's.... tricky08:34
jubo2hateball: The System™ would hate this kind of software enabling versatile configuration and even randomization for people with many internets08:35
jubo2If one could dynamically route traffic to via many different internet conncetions would really cook the NSA stalk-guy's noodle08:35
hateballjubo2: google led me here, but I havent tried it http://www.evolware.org/?p=29308:36
hateballthere is the option of iptables per ip etc but that's annoying...08:36
jubo2hateball: I hear https://duckduckgo.com and https://ixquick.com are the most privacy respecting search engines08:38
jubo2keep those Exabyte stacks building in the "Not-yet-cracked SSL encrypted traffic" in the NSA data silos08:39
jubo2plus they don't record your IP nor your search terms nor your click08:41

jubo2hateball: I dunno. I always use the KDE-menu on the low-left08:49
hateballYes well that's not very helpful when troubleshooting08:50
jubo2hateball: in other words.. how do I start it from shell08:50

_zxq9_Hrm... anyone know if Postgres receives minor version release updates during the life of a single LTS version?12:58
_zxq9_Some distros only upgrade patches, so 9.3 will get updates to 9.3.1, 9.3.2, etc, but never 9.4 -- which is why I'm wondering.13:00
klerikMay be you add some advanced repositary?13:00
klerikwith postgres13:01
_zxq9_klerik: I usually do, just wondering if I should expect to skip adding the upstream deb repo, or if that's necessary with this distro.13:02
_zxq9_I'm not as familiar with this distro as with some of the others I've worked on for longer.13:03
yofel_zxq9_: #ubuntu-server might know more about that13:03

Walexcsed: _zxq9_ you may not be entirely familiar with the notion of "LTS" :-)14:37
_zxq9_Walex: Not whatever the meaning is in the Ubuntu community. I'm rather intimately familiar with the idea in rh, suse, and aix -- but the ubuntu world seems to see many things very differently (and recently rh has changed its tendencies as well).14:42
_zxq9_So it was worth checking. No sense including a repo that the distro was going to be moving along with anyway.14:43
noahI'm having trouble connecting to a network14:48
_zxq9_noah: A bit vague... care to elaborate?14:49
noah_zxq9_: it's suck at "connecting"14:50
_zxq9_To the internet, or a specific network?14:50
noah__zxq9__: all networks14:50
_zxq9_Wireless or with a cable?14:51
_zxq9_(like ethernet cable)14:51
noah__zxq9__: Both I think. it started when "vmnet1" and "vmnet8" appeared in my networks. I had had vmware installed for a while and had never seen them (as far as I know)14:52
_zxq9_Is your kubuntu a virtual guest, or the host?14:52
noah__zxq9__: so I uninstalled vmware but the problem is still persisting. Kubuntu is a host.14:53
_zxq9_Where are you seeing "vmnet?" entries? Like, what command are you using to see this?14:54
yossarianuki hate vmware..... KVM is far more flexible.14:55
_zxq9_yossarianuk: +114:55
noah_zxq9_ I was seeing them. In the networks module. I uninstalled vmware and they diappeared14:55
_zxq9_otoh, vmware is sort of the braindead "right" solution for people who hate thinking hard, and honestly, so is ubuntu for desktop types who like linux.14:55
_zxq9_noah: Can you paste the output of "ip addr" somewhere?14:56
noah_zxq9_: unfortunately this is dual booted with Kubuntu so I have to shut off to go check.14:57
_zxq9_oh, that sucks.14:57
noah_zxq9_: what might ip addr give out? I may know unless it's something real technical.14:58
_zxq9_noah: Usually, I troubleshoot network issues from absolute zero on the command line (regardless of distro).14:58
_zxq9_noah: It should show you what network devices you have enabled, and then what addresses each device should be listening for.14:58
_zxq9_So, for example, here is mine right now: http://fpaste.org/170524/14214203/14:59
_zxq9_Given that, I can usually get a grip on what is wrong.14:59
noah_zxq9_: OK. Well I'm pretty sure the ones I need are enabled. But I'll check.14:59
noah_zxq9_: This issue does have an interesting symptom though15:00
_zxq9_There is a Gentoo wiki page about ip manual setup that is usually remarkably useful in other situations... let me find it.15:00
_zxq9_noah: What is the interesting symptom?15:00
noah_zxq9_: You know how when not connected it displays a wifi bar with a yellow dot?15:01
noah_zxq9_: And that yellow dot stays there until it is absolutely connected.15:02
_zxq9_yes15:03
noah_zxq9_: Well the yellow dot disappears even before it is done connecting.15:03
_zxq9_That is sort of weird.15:04
noah_zxq9_: Yeah, so it shows a wifi bar, and the loading circle spinning.15:04
_zxq9_So you *are* connection across wifi.15:05
_zxq9_And you're using the KDE environment directly.15:06
_zxq9_as in, GUI experience.15:06
noah_zxq9_: Yes for the KDE GUI. And, Well, no. Websites and stuff still don't work. The loading circle goes on and on. I haven't let it go on that much because it usually doesn't take that long so I assume that if it takes much longer than that, something is messed up.15:07
_zxq9_noah: Have you clicked it to pick a specific wifi point to which you want to connect?15:08
noah_zxq9_: Yep15:08
_zxq9_And it just takes forever. I assume you have checked the password, encryption type, etc?15:08
noah_zxq9_: Yep.15:08
_zxq9_I've had cases where the encryption type have spontaneously switched to something different than the real one -- so its good to double check.15:09
noah_zxq9_: It was having this problem on previously saved networks as well. Interestingly, before all this I had gotten the "disk is unavailable. press s or m" error, but it resolved itself.15:10
_zxq9_edit connection > wireless security > security: Type15:10
_zxq9_hrm... that is a really wild error message for this problem, though.15:10
_zxq9_What vmware product did you install?15:11
noah_zxq9_: vmware player. And I had had it on there for a while.15:11
noah_zxq9_: and the disk error was at boot15:11
_zxq9_Let me get this straight: before vmware, OK; after vmware, not OK?15:11
_zxq9_ah15:11
_zxq9_btw, I don't think this applies to your case just now, but its a profoundly useful future reference: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Full/Installation#Manual_network_configuration15:12
noah_zxq9_: Installed vmware fine. Used it for a while (weeks, maybe months). Screwed around and broke something not related to network but fixed it. Boot error. vmnet1 and 8 appear. Not fine15:12
_zxq9_What was the thing you broke?15:13
noah_zxq9_: my kdm theme15:13
_zxq9_What about the theme broke?15:13
noah_zxq9_: I deleted it accidentally.15:13
_zxq9_ah. Anything else disappear accidentally at that time along with the theme? (wondering if it was something more general in /etc)15:14
noah_zxq9_: Don't know. Didn't touch anything there. Although my bootsplash did disappear. But the network still worked for a little bit after that. Anyway. Even after I uninstalled vmware the problem persisted.15:15
noah_zxq9_: would there be some kind of log for what it's trying to do as it connects?15:16
_zxq9_How long ago did the problem start?15:18
BluesKajnoah, how did you remove vmware?15:18
noah_zxq9_: yesterday. BluesKaj I uninstalled it via vmware-uninstaller.15:19
BluesKajnoah, strange then it should have removed the networking config file which seems to be hijacking your internet connection15:21
lordievadersoee: Learning KDE means using it, there is not really a guide for that...15:21
noahBluesKaj: what do you mean?15:21
BluesKajnoah, I had the same experience with vmware a while back15:21
noahBluesKaj: stuck at connecting as it goes on and on?15:22
BluesKajyup15:23
noahBluesKaj: how did u fix it?15:23
BluesKajnoah, look for vmware files and i purged them , sudo rm -rf vmware*... it was drastic but it was the only way iirc15:24
BluesKajlordievader, any suggestions, that are less drastic ?15:25
noahBluesKaj: and do I need to be in a certain folder to do so?15:25
lordievaderBluesKaj: Err, what? About this wifi thing? I haven't really been following the conversation.15:26
BluesKajnoah, that commandf I posted my be very dangerous , I don't advise using it15:26
BluesKajmay be15:26
_zxq9_それで出来るかも15:28

_zxq9_BluesKaj: np, just totally wrong thing. My head was mixed in two conversations and two languages at once. blurp.15:31
noahBluesKaj: do you know if there is a log where I can see what network-manager is doing while it is stuck connecting?15:31
BluesKajnoah, var/log/syslog15:31
_zxq9_BluesKaj: btw, there seems to be an army of just me in the jp channels... hehe. Typical.15:32
noahBluesKaj: oh. well that will show everything. Anything more specific?15:32
BluesKajerr /var/log/syslog15:32
_zxq9_noah: Be prepared to plow through a few bajillion messages to find the pertinent ones in there.15:32
BluesKajnoah, nope, can't think of anything...syslog is the latest one usually afaik15:33
noahok. I'm gonna hop over there. hopefully I can come back soon. BluesKaj I found this: grep -i networkmanager /var/log/syslog15:33

noah_BluesKaj: what was the config file you found that was messing up ur wifi16:29
lordievadernoah_: Could you pastebin the relevant syslog output, please?16:30
BluesKajwth is wrong with launchpad , i changed IP addresses a long time ago when i changed my ISP, now I can't change the registered email address to one that actaully works16:30
noah_I though I had saved it, but it messed up. It will take a while for me to try it again.16:30
BluesKajnoah_, it was a vmware network config file iirc16:31
noah_lordievader: i have to redo it. I had to save to a file but forgot to click save. it might take a few mins.16:31
