nekoseamHey so after login it takes the internet either a very long time to connect or won't connect at all. I usually just simply press "disconnect" and reconnect and it fixes it and connects instantly06:06
nekoseamit's still kind of annoying doing that. Any way to fix it?06:06
nekoseamYes I have fiddled with the settings and it IS on auto-connect06:07

justxuxHi, I'm interested, will Kubuntu project use only LTS Plasma for the LTS realease?11:20
Admiral[m]Hello. Is there packages for network manager wireguard?11:27
Admiral[m]That allows me to use the NM GUI wireguard? Also how to import multiple wireguard configurations11:28
justxuxIn version 5.15 plasma11:44
justxuxPlasma now offers support for WireGuard VPN tunnels when the appropriate Network Manager plugin is installed.11:44

BluesKajHi folks12:21
=== Arthur_D2 is now known as Arthur_D
Admiral[m]Yeah where can I get the plugin?12:47
Admiral[m]Should I compile it myself?12:47
Admiral[m]Also where do I report bugs about network manager? Is it distro specific?13:32
BluesKajAdmiral[m], you could ask in #kde chat about your issue13:34
BluesKajbut I haven't seem your question yet13:34
BluesKajseen13:34
Admiral[m]I asked as zanijwa13:38
Admiral[m]*zanijwa13:38
BluesKajAdmiral[m], i had to reboot so I can't scroll up13:42
Admiral[m]Kubuntu 18.10. In the wireguard configuration of network manager, I cannot enter any hostname for the endpoint. I can only enter IPv4 addresses13:43
Admiral[m]Is this a problem on my machine? can anyone else reproduce13:44
Admiral[m]BluesKaj:13:44
BluesKajAdmiral[m] don't think wireguard works with network-manager yet '13:46
Admiral[m]you have to compile a wireguard plugin but, ignoring  wireguard working, the endpoint in wireguard  configuration panel should take in hostnames and IPv6 addresses right?13:49
BluesKajAdmiral[m], recommend you ask in #wireguard chat , it's not supported in (k)ubuntu yet13:55
Admiral[m]no I mean wg works just fine. where do you ask questions about the network manager? Is it common across all distros?13:57
=== himcesjf_ is now known as him-cesjf
BluesKajyes14:27
BluesKajAdmiral[m],^14:27
BluesKajAdmiral[m], some vpns are still developing wireguard to work on their servers, but most aren't fully fleshed out yet, and most like to use network-manager-nameofvpnprotocol to integrate it into linux networking as a cli or gui setup, so your question is probly a bit premature.14:34
kofteshello14:48
BluesKajhi koftes14:49
kofteshey BluesKaj14:50
koftesWhat could cause DNS to stop working? If I connect through a certain connection, my PC can ping IP addresses on the Internet (e.g., 8.8.8.8), but cannot resolve domains (Firefox doesn't work, or I get things like "failure resolving 'gb.archive.ubuntu.com'" when I try to get updates).14:53
BluesKajkoftes, on which device do you have your DNS set up ?14:57
koftesBluesKaj: that's a good question14:58
BluesKajare you at work or?14:58
koftesthe simple answer is that I'm not really sure what I'm doing14:59
Admiral[m]so for filing bugs in NM, can i report to ubuntu?14:59
BluesKaj!bugs | Admiral[m]14:59
ubottuAdmiral[m]: If you find a bug in Kubuntu, please follow the instructions at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Bugs/Reporting to report the issue to the developers.14:59
koftesNo. So more details: I have a Kubuntu PC that connects through my home router/modem, and that works as normal (DNS is probably on the modem).15:00
BluesKajkoftes, I assume this is either a work or school network ?15:01
Admiral[m]Is 'Connections' the KDE front end for network manager?15:02
Admiral[m]other distros would have their own front ends for NM right?15:02
koftesI also have an Android phone that can connect to the Internet (either through my home WiFi or 3G). When I tether the PC to the phone by USB, I get a wired connection, I can ping 8.8.8.8, but domains cannot be resolved.15:02
koftesBluesKaj: it's my home network.15:03
BluesKajkoftes, most likely the router , try 192.168.0.1 in your browser addressbar to open the router firmware15:03
koftesBluesKaj: well, the problem is when I'm connecting by tethering through my phone. So the problem is either on my PC or the phone rather than the router.15:06
Admiral[m]how do you know if the problem you're reporting is a bug or a feature request15:07
BluesKajkoftes, most likely your phone so perhaps you should research your phone connectivity15:08
koftesBluesKaj: I was inclined to think it's the PC because I've set up a (wireless) hotspot on my phone in the past that friends' phones were able to connect to; but my PC could not get any data from my phone's hotspot.15:11
BluesKajkoftes, use kdeconnect on your pc and phone15:12
koftesI guess at this point I'm trying to identify what/where the problem is (before trying to fix it), so my question really is what could I do to figure out where the problem is.15:13
koftesBluesKaj: reading about KDE Connect now15:13
BluesKajfirst, what are you really trying to do, that's the real question15:13
koftesBluesKaj: my ultimate goal is to connect my PC through my 3G data (which my provider is OK with btw), so I can work away from home in places where there are no or insecure connections.15:16
BluesKaj!3G15:20
BluesKaj!info 3G15:20
ubottuPackage 3G does not exist in bionic15:20
BluesKaj!osmo15:21
koftesBtw, from a first read, KDE Connect seems like an overkill for what I'm trying to do and the kind of thing that might open up other security issues.15:21
BluesKajkoftes, search for osmo in your package manager15:21
koftesSorry, I guess it's a 4G connection now. I meant mobile data in general.15:22
koftesosmo: not installed15:22
koftesI'm using KDE, btw15:24
BluesKajosmo-sgsn and osmo-mgw15:26
BluesKajnot installed by default , but available in the repos15:27
koftesI'm thinking that if DNS is provided by my router on WiFi, could it be that the PC is expecting the same from the phone which is not happening? Can I manually designate DNS servers directly in Kubuntu?15:29
BluesKaj!dnsmasq15:30
koftesBluesKaj: what would be the intention with those packages?15:30
BluesKaj!info dnsmasq15:30
ubottudnsmasq (source: dnsmasq): Small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP server. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.79-1 (bionic), package size 15 kB, installed size 72 kB15:30
BluesKajkoftes, look in your package manager/discover for details15:31
koftesYeah, I can see the descriptions, but I mean why are you recommending them? Or is it more like "something to try, might work"?15:34
koftesI'll switch to the other connection again for testing , so there's a (good) chance I'll disconnect15:40
BluesKajkoftes, Ican only suggest since I have no experience with remote phone to pc connections over 3G or the internet15:44
koftesI think this may have actually worked15:46
=== ErichEickmeyer is now known as Eickmeyer
koftesOK, I think I need to iron out a few things, but in principle it works. I decided to just try adding Google's DNS through Network Connections, and it seems to be working.15:54
koftesI don't know why I never figured this out before. I've had this problem for ages.15:56
koftesIn any case, thanks for the help BluesKaj15:58
