[09:12] assmith: What version of Kubuntu are you using? [09:16] 14.04 [09:19] Oh... I thought bridge configs went in /etc/network/interfaces before systemd. [09:19] For the firewall, I'd write a service wich loads the rules from file. === odin_ is now known as Guest18557 === thomas is now known as Guest19816 === gabor is now known as excognaac === excognaac is now known as excognac [10:01] hi all. I'm trying on 16.10, trying to run Partition editor. Once the KDE su window pops up and asks for my root password it freezes. I can type it in ut then I have to close the window. Also, the eye icon appears so I can make root password visible, which i find weird. [10:05] Any ideas why is this happening? http://pasteboard.co/qhim9ar7h.png [10:06] excognac: if you run "partitionmanager" from a terminal, do you get any output? [10:07] hateball: it runs perfectly https://paste.kde.org/pkonks6pd [10:09] excognac: you got prompted for sudo password etc? [10:09] hateball: yep [10:10] I'd take a look at the launcher then [10:10] the .desktop file you are using, that is [10:11] perhaps it says "kdesudo partitionmanager" which shouldnt be needed, polkit should handle that [10:11] it should still work, but... [10:12] what is weird it has worked fine until now (although i ran it last time a month ago or so) [10:14] Well things tend to work until they break [10:17] haha [10:18] in the meanwhile I'm looking for the .desktop with locate [10:19] is it this one? /usr/share/kservices5/plasma-containmentactions-applauncher.desktop [10:23] excognac: how do you launch partition manager via the gui? using krunner or clicking the kicker? [10:24] hateball: clicking the kicker [10:25] excognac: rightclick kicker and edit the menu, look under system for the partition editor entry [10:25] and have a look how it is configured [10:25] it should just be "partitionmanager" and be set to run as a different user (blank) [10:26] it is exactly like that [10:26] otherwise the real .desktop file is /usr/share/applications/org.kde.PartitionManager.desktop [10:26] excognac: does kdesudo work for anything else? [10:26] like if you "kdesudo kate" [10:31] you mean from cli? yes, they do work [10:32] very strange [10:32] I am on 16.04 here so cant replicate [10:33] I use 16.10 at home and I cant recall having an issue there either... but I dont remember the last time I used kdesudo either so :| [10:35] hateball: does this help to clarify? https://paste.kde.org/pvnmkrsvd [10:35] excognac: no that looks fine (same as mine) [10:37] hateball: the ibus thing is not a problem? [10:39] excognac: That is more than I know. I get the ibus errors as well, but not the QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed [10:39] nor QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: [10:39] so perhaps that is something to google [10:39] yeah I'm on it [10:43] I'll try this https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1485667 [11:06] Hi folks === odin_ is now known as Guest8842 [11:47] Is there a way to get better wireless connection? [11:49] R13ose: begin by describing your problem, and what chipset/driver you are using [11:49] R13ose: otherwise the answer will be "Yes." [11:49] You can always make everything better [11:50] Not sure on the chipset. I am not able to get a wireless connection where I am but others are from further away [11:51] Right, so here one might have asked "how can I find out what chipset I have?" [11:51] And then the reply would have been something like run "lspci -k" in a terminal [11:53] hateball: how do I only show wireless chipset?

[11:54] just look for the network related bits [11:54] Okay [11:58] hateball: paste.kde.org/penm5uq7s [12:00] R13ose: and what does "iwconfig" say? [12:01] also, wifi is black magic [12:01] R13ose: when you say others get signal, do they get signal in the same spot as you? [12:01] as there could be a number of factors affecting wifi signal [12:01] hateball: yes I am on wireless now on phone [12:03] R13ose: right, so share the output from iwconfig [12:04] hateball: added to same paste url [12:05] nope [12:07] hateball: paste.kde.org/papyljcym [12:09] R13ose: you cant see any networks at all when scanning with "sudo iwlist scan" ? [12:10] R13ose: any interesting output when running "dmesg" ? [12:13] hateball: I see the wireless network when I do scan. The dmesg is super long, how do I only show the parts you want to know? [12:14] R13ose: dont worry about that, just pastebin it all [12:15] R13ose: and this network you are trying to connect to, is it run by you? [12:15] I mean, do you have any control over its configuration [12:15] if you have a phone connected to it you should be able to see some details at any rate [12:15] Yes I control that [12:16] how do I do sudo with a normal user? [12:19] hateball: ^ [12:23] I dont even understand the question [12:23] You run "sudo " [12:23] obviously the user needs to be a member of sudoers [12:24] Okay [12:24] which by default your first user will be [12:30] hateball: paste.kde.org/ptc2n7hyn [12:33] R13ose: are you in the US? [12:33] or more importantly, what channel is your router broadcasting on? [12:34] Canada [12:34] I think that is the same, but I am not sure. anyhow line 767 says the card is using US domain, so then you wouldnt be able to use channel 13 that is allowed in the EU, iirc [12:35] Channel 12 [12:35] 11* [12:37] R13ose: and when you run iwlist scan, did it show your network or ntot? [12:37] hateball: wireless one yes [12:37] Seems US and Canada are the same, channel 11 max [12:39] R13ose: and if you try connecting to the network, what happens? [12:39] R13ose: if it fails for whatever reason, there should be output in dmesg [12:41] hateball: on normal user, the wireless connection doesn't show up [12:42] R13ose: What does that mean? [12:42] R13ose: If you run iwlist scan without sudo? or when using network-manager? [12:44] hateball: when a normal user in network-manager [12:53] hateball: thoughts? [12:54] R13ose: was this broken on install? [12:54] hateball: I don't think so [12:55] well if the kernel loads the modules and you can see networks with iwlist, there should be nothing wrong there [12:55] so then the problem would be with network-manager [12:55] And I dont really know how to troubleshoot that [12:58] hateball: yet, if I am closer to the box, I can see this [13:29] please help me [13:29] my pc is about to crash i think any minute [13:30] i clicked a link in chat and its opening thousands of endless winebrowser windows [13:32] Aggfafasdsa [13:34] cant click kde bar any more === ubuntu is now known as JrrRowe === angel_ is now known as AngelKde14 === slippers is now known as Guest64842 === lethu_ is now known as lethu === odin_ is now known as Guest49221
