psiphi75's questions

I'm using the Gnome Network manager to connect to my office VPN. It's using StrongSwan IPSec.

It connects fine, but all my internet traffic is routed through the office. I don't want this, I only want to see the IP addresses of my office without all my internet traffic going through the office. Also, if possible, to use the office DNS to resolve the office server names (but this is less important).

The following settings are set:

• Gateway Address: IP address of the office
• Certificates: All working, I'm using "Certificate/private key".
• Options: All options are enabled.
• IPv4: I tried a view settings here, but currently only "Automatic (DHCP)" is selected.
• IPv6: Disabled.

UPDATE: My ip -r output is:

default via 192.168.188.1 dev enp3s0 proto dhcp metric 100 
169.254.0.0/16 dev enp3s0 scope link metric 1000

I'd like to replace wpa_supplicant with iwd and use it for my wifi networking. This is so that I can use and test Network Manager using iwd. I can't seem to find instructions around relating to Ubuntu this anywhere.

If you read the 19.04 release notes, it says:

IWD can now be enabled for use with Network Manager. IWD is a new alternative to wpa supplicant and is in testing for consideration in the future.

I have set up a cross-compile docker instance. In a nutshell I started setting up the

apt-get update
apt-get install binutils-multiarch

dpkg --add-architecture armhf
# Manually add correct armhf repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install libudev-dev:armhf

During this last step, I get the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libudev-dev:armhf : Depends: libacl1:armhf (>= 2.2.51-8) but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: libblkid1:armhf (>= 2.19.1) but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: libc6:armhf (>= 2.17) but it is not going to be installed

                    Depends: libudev1:armhf (= 229-4ubuntu4) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Installing these manually is not an option, since libc6:armhf conflicts with the currently installed amd64 libc6 and will end up overwriting this package. I just want to set-up the libudev:armhf package such that I can link to it.

I have a laptop with with the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 and am running Ubuntu 18.04 (although the problem existed with 17.10 and I presume this is a general problem). At home the Wifi works well, however, on some networks it will intermittently disconnect. Using Gnome network manager and turning the Wi-fi off and back on could fix the issue, but not always. This could happen numerous times a day.

I've experienced the following problem on Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 and 17.04.

Using Gnome-Network-Manager (I don't want to use other tools) I have issues when I create a wifi hot-spot to allow my Android device to access wired Internet. Sometimes (usually after a fresh boot) the wifi hot-spot works. But after a short while (maybe 10 to 30 minutes), my Android system will disconnect. When I reconnect Android will say something like "Connected, no Internet", but the Internet is available.

This is not a problem with just one Android system or device, I have tested with various versions of Android (Samsung and CynagenMod) and a Mac Book. All with similar issues.

From the Android side it appears that the network signal strengths fluctuates significantly over time.

I have tried various network cards, the internal network card (Intel AC 7260) and a couple of USB network cards. All exhibit similar behavior.

I upgraded to Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 from 16.04. I have an HP Laptop with a touchpad. Previously you could scroll using the right hand edge of the touchpad, but no longer. I can only use two-finger scroll, and I don't like it, it also tends to not work that well.

I tried similar instructions to this answer and this one too, but the "touchpad" option is missing in dconf-editor under the following tree:

org > gnome > settings-daemon > peripherals > touchpad

I have installed gnome-tweak-tool for Gnome 3.20 (using these instructions), but it has no options available either.

Any ideas how to get scrolling using the edge of the touchpad?

UPDATE 1:

I looked under

org > gnome > desktop > peripherals > touchpad

and the settings were available. But the scrolling parameter was already set to edge-scrolling (see image below), but it does not seem to work.

UPDATE 2: I created a new user. Because they would have fresh settings and would show that my settings may be slightly corrupt. But the new user has the same issue.
