[03:40] <BionicMac> emma: Ok. I'm glad you pinpointed the root of the situation.
[03:41] <BionicMac> emma: In the meantime... I found a couple of really good articles on the subject. https://www.hiroom2.com/2017/08/24/ubuntu-1610-nameserver-127-0-0-53-en/ and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1624320
[03:46] <valorie> BionicMac: did it help you fix your issue with your previous VPN?
[04:24] <BionicMac> BionicMac: Yes. I ended up using my VPN providers cli application and it solves everything for me. I tried using their openvpn.ovpn configuration files with openvpn in cli and importing it into the Kde network connection wizard to no avail.
[04:25] <BionicMac> valorie: ^
[04:27] <BionicMac> valorie: While using their *.ovpn config files it was always and every time a dns issue. The connection was made just fine. DNS would not resolv. It was exactly related to what emma is experiencing.
[04:31] <valorie> it would be good if both of you commented in the bug report
[04:32] <BionicMac> valorie: will do. Now that I am semi-educated on systemd and resolv.conf I may try the openvpn.ovpn files again before I file the bug comment.

[09:27] <globaldn> hey guys

[09:30] <globaldn> thanks
[10:43] <hay207> Hi guys, is there a program to monitor my network connection and notify me of disconnections?
[12:03] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:03] <diogenes_> hey
[13:07] <dubis> hello world
[15:19] <newtest1> hi
[15:19] <newtest1> can some1 help me?
[15:20] <newtest1> how can I enable Encryption/SSL with Freenode in KDE Konversation client?
[15:21] <newtest1> i can't find any networking settings in Konversation client...
[15:21] <om26er> that's probably the wrong channel you are asking that in but search for a freenode server that is tls enabled
[15:21] <om26er> newtest1: ^
[15:21] <newtest1> ?
[15:24] <newtest1> i'm sorry... I know it's enablen on Freenode side, but looks like it's disabled in Kubuntu Konversation client... If not - how can I check that it's working? I haven't any indication...
[15:25] <om26er> newtest1: when your client is trying to connect you should be able to see if it does the SSL handshake and succeeds
[15:26] <om26er> so check the server logs
[15:26] <newtest1> where I can find logs? :)
[15:28] <newtest1> ah I see some logs in Freenode "root" window
[15:29] <om26er> maybe post it somewhere if it doesn't expose anything private, so that we can see.
[15:39] <BluesKaj> newtest1, konversation creates a log folder in your /home dir
[17:40] <test2482> ?
[19:16] <emma> valorie: my problem still isn't really fixed so when bionic is back let me know where to file a bug.
[20:46] <valorie> emma: best to comment on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1624320 and mark yourself as affected
[20:47] <valorie> best way to file any bug report is commandline: `ubuntu-bug packagename` which in this case seems to be systemd
[23:34] <emma> valorie: i do not have that bug I guess.
[23:34] <emma> valorie: my problem is a bit different but also seems to be some tangled mess between PIA VPN -- NetworkManager -- resolv.conf
[23:36] <emma> The current status is that as long as I am using the VPN I am fine. If I turn off the VPN then I have to manually edit resolv.conf so that it says 127.0.0.53 INSTEAD OF 127.0.1.1 but if my USB wireless adapter needs to be unplugged or plugged back in then NetworkManager rewrites it to 127.0.1.1 and I can no longer use the internet without the VPN.
[23:38] <valorie> so perhaps file the bug against resolved if that is possible
[23:38] <valorie> but resolved is part of systemd
[23:47] <spirithawk> I am new to Ubuntu want kubuntu how can I make the .iso to a install cd bootable
[23:49] <valorie> hmm, what is the right invocation
[23:50] <valorie> !iso
[23:50] <valorie> hmmm
[23:50] <valorie> not right
[23:50] <valorie> !cd
[23:50] <valorie> nope
[23:52] <valorie> !install
[23:52] <valorie> there we go, spirithawk ^^^
[23:53] <BionicMac> Hello valorie
[23:53] <BionicMac> Hi emma
[23:54] <valorie> hi BionicMac
[23:58] <spirithawk> thank you all
