[02:23] <wadda>  hi.  i have been having a problem with flash lately (it doesn't work at all, on any browser).  i would love some suggestions to fix it.  i have tried reinstalling through synaptic, downloading and installing directly form the website etc.
[02:24] <wadda> it seems strange that it is system wide... none of the browsers i have installed are functioning (firefox, chrome, midori, epiphany... i don't know why i hae installed so many)
[02:24] <wadda> anyhow, any help would be greatly appreciated... i don't know what to do with my computer anymore now that i can't watch youtube :)
[02:26] <psycho_oreos> upgraded from previous version?
[02:29] <wadda> psycho_oreos,  i think it broke sometime around an upgrade
[02:30] <psycho_oreos> wadda, around what sort of upgrade?
[02:30] <wadda> just one through the udate manager
[02:31] <psycho_oreos> can't recall what it was?
[02:31] <wadda> i don't really remember though... i didn't pay any mind when it happened and sometimes i don't restart my computer after it finishes (lazy habit, i know)
[02:31] <psycho_oreos> hmm
[02:31] <psycho_oreos> any distro upgrades?
[02:32] <wadda> nope.  i believe i did a clean install to 9.10, even.
[02:32] <wadda> back when it first came out
[02:33] <psycho_oreos> either the plugins on the browser aren't installed properly, i.e. no hooks or the flash thing itself is broken
[02:34] <wadda> do all the browsers use different plugins?
[02:35] <psycho_oreos> doubt it, of course the plugin itself for each browser varies in location (where its placed in the system)
[02:37] <wadda> i believe it is in usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree
[02:37] <wadda> and usr/lib/mozilla/plugins (i will double check this one)
[02:38] <psycho_oreos> you can easily see in firefox, just hit up: about:plugins
[02:38] <wadda> yes
[02:40] <wadda> the only place i see flv or flash is under VLC multimedia plugin
[02:40] <wadda> so it must not see it
[02:40] <psycho_oreos> well vlc might not be working or supported
[02:41] <wadda> but shouldn't it play using the flash-nonfree from the repositories?  do i need vlc as well?
[02:42] <psycho_oreos> you might need vlc as well if flv is handled by vlc
[02:42] <psycho_oreos> mine is handled by both vlc and mplayer, both of those are also installed
[02:43] <wadda> i do have vlc installed but i never installed the mozilla plugin
[02:43] <wadda> but, i guess that would mean it once worked without it
[02:43] <wadda> maybe i will try installing it just to see what happens
[02:43] <psycho_oreos> good idea
[02:44] <wadda> although i can't imagine that would help with the other browsers
[02:44] <psycho_oreos> well we'll see
[02:44] <wadda> nope, no luck.
[02:45] <psycho_oreos> did you also restart firefox?
[02:45] <wadda> yes
[02:47] <psycho_oreos> might need to pastebin your about:plugins
[02:47] <wadda> ok
[02:49] <wadda> it isn't as pretty as i would like but: http://paste.ubuntu.com/380721/
[02:50] <wadda> it mentions flash on line 27
[02:50] <psycho_oreos> yeah its handled by totem, weird
[02:51] <wadda> it doesn't mention the flash-nonfree.so anywhere (like it does for other .so like on line 6 and 31
[02:53] <psycho_oreos> well it should have its own entries shockwave flash.. it does in mine albeit I am using slightly older version of xubuntu (9.04)
[02:54] <psycho_oreos> hmm I'll show you the output of mine in pastebin
[02:54] <wadda> where else on a computer should flash live, other than in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins?
[02:55] <psycho_oreos> http://paste.ubuntu.com/380725/
[02:57] <wadda> huh, there is your flash right at the top
[02:58] <psycho_oreos> yup and its listed as libflashplayer.so
[02:58] <psycho_oreos> I'm thinking its a botched install with the flashplugin
[02:59] <wadda> is there some way i can purge my machine of everything flash related and start from fresh?
[03:00] <psycho_oreos> not that I know of, but probably a good idea to try and manually install flashplugin somehow, lemme check what other packages it maybe under
[03:02] <psycho_oreos> hmm is flashplugin-installer package installed?
[03:03] <wadda> yep. (installed, and reinstalled several times)
[03:04] <wadda> sometimes, out of desperation, i hope that repeating things that have failed will eventually work
[03:04] <wadda> i might try this http://profarius.com/content/64bit-java-flash-deathroll
[03:04] <wadda> we'll see what happens
[03:04] <psycho_oreos> well I suppose you could do remove from there, that'll remove the installer and stuff
[03:05] <wadda> yes.
[03:05] <wadda> it would be a start
[03:18] <duckwars> what is the equivalent of gnome-session in xubuntu?
[03:18] <duckwars> please
[03:24] <psycho_oreos> xfce4-session
[03:26] <duckwars> thank you VERY much!!
[03:26] <psycho_oreos> np
[03:26] <duckwars> why the 4? I kept tryin xfce-session
[03:26] <psycho_oreos> most likely version 4
[03:27] <psycho_oreos> it is, just checked
[03:28] <duckwars> well thank you, now I will always (hopefully) remember to put 4

[04:51] <evil> I would just like thank everyone who has contributed to the Xubuntu project. Not only does it work and run great, but the default out-of-box theme is spectacular.
[04:52] <evil> Black if my favorite shade, and blue is my favorite color. :)
[04:52] <evil> Well, more of a really dark grey but it is still awesome.
[05:10] <newB> am i in the right place for ubuntu installation questions?
[05:10] <hatake_kakashi> try #ubuntu
[05:11] <Balsaq> good morning to all of you who inhabit the tranquil  binary rainforest known as .....Xubuntu!
[05:11] <newB> not much help there for my issue, is there any place else?
[05:12] <Balsaq> whay is the problem?
[05:12] <Balsaq> what*
[05:12] <newB> unable to find a medium containing a live file system
[05:13] <Balsaq> are you trying to do a ubuntu (stand alone) installation to your hard drive?
[05:13] <newB> yes
[05:13] <Balsaq> so will it boot? (hit f2 or f8 or f12)
[05:15] <Balsaq> do you have a buntu installation cd?
[05:15] <newB> it seems to begin the installation process after the instal screen and stops showing that message
[05:15] <newB> downloaded
[05:15] <hatake_kakashi> stops showing what message?
[05:15] <Balsaq> does your computer meet the minimum specs?
[05:16] <newB> unable to find a medium containing a live file system
[05:16] <Balsaq> so that is you r message when it stops?
[05:16] <newB> yes
[05:16] <Balsaq> one moment, i cant say i have ever encountered this.
[05:16] <Balsaq> what are the specs on your computer?
[05:17] <Balsaq> sounds like a bad cd too me...becasue the file system is part of the installation as far as i know.
[05:18] <newB> 750mhz amd duron...64mb men...
[05:18] <Balsaq> not enough memory
[05:18] <hatake_kakashi> heh that's puny
[05:19] <Balsaq> it doesnt meet the requirements
[05:19] <Balsaq> you need DSL
[05:19] <newB> ok well that makes sense
[05:19] <Balsaq> your computer prolly uses sdram pc100 which is dirt cheap on ebay
[05:20] <Balsaq> do you have 2 memory slots or 4?
[05:20] <Balsaq> your processor is ok...need some ram
[05:20] <Balsaq> how big is the HD?
[05:21] <_Techie_> i just got in, if your unsure about your RAM and need a really rough guideline, look in the RAM slots for the keys, 2keys + DDR,  3keys = SDRAM
[05:22] <newB> not really sure, it's an older pc.. i have to look up specs for it
[05:22] <Balsaq> _Techie_ Master of ALL Free Online Computer Technicians!!!!!!!!!
[05:22] <_Techie_> heya Balsaq, long time no see
[05:22] <Balsaq> where that hecj a have you been? Pete's is also MIA?
[05:23] <Balsaq> heck*
[05:23] <_Techie_> ive been workign on my Xbox alot
[05:23] <Balsaq> gotta a new laptop
[05:23] <_Techie_> and i havent done anythign with pete in a long time
[05:23] <Balsaq> haent seen him in weeks in here
[05:24] <Balsaq> got an i5 with 4gig os ddr3
[05:24] <_Techie_> anyone in here got knowledge about cluster sizes in various HDD formats?
[05:24] <_Techie_> i hear
[05:24] <_Techie_> heard*
[05:24] <_Techie_> you told me about it last time i was in here
[05:24] <newB> thanks for the help i'll try another tower with a bit more muscle
[05:24] <Balsaq> ahhh seems like it been longer
[05:25] <_Techie_> yeah, i dont stop by as much as i used to
[05:25] <Balsaq> whew 64mb of ram....i feel his pain
[05:26] <_Techie_> 64mb isnt half bad
[05:26] <Balsaq> what can he run?
[05:26] <Balsaq> dsl?
[05:26] <_Techie_> yeah
[05:26] <_Techie_> DSL will run entirely in RAM with that much
[05:26] <_Techie_> puppy
[05:26] <_Techie_> any of the cut down versions of linux really
[05:27] <Balsaq> i'd like to tool around with dsl just to see what it is
[05:27] <_Techie_> he may be able to run Xubuntu but it would seem sluggish
[05:27] <_Techie_> DSL is annoying in my experience
[05:27] <Balsaq> i have heard
[05:27] <_Techie_> anyway, i gotta go... tea
[05:27] <Balsaq> LATER
[05:52] <Balsaq> _Techie_ i know you may be gone but have you messed around with bittorrents at all?
[06:26] <_Techie_> Balsaq, yes i have, but for reasons this channel doesnt support
[06:27] <Balsaq> aye mate, a young lady i know had xp home and got a terrible virus. she never made a recovery disk so iinstalled buntu. she likes it but want xp back now. she has a license.
[06:37] <_Techie_> if she has a valid liscence look for a SP2 cd as SP3 cd's have keys streamlined
[06:39] <Balsaq> what is keysstreamlined
[06:50] <N-S> Good morning. How do I force X to use a different display mode, while it is still running? Or, maybe simpler, how do I restart X with a mode that works? I accidentally changed the mode to one that my TV refused to display :-(
[06:52] <Balsaq> i am not on my xubuntu OS now but i think i was right clicking on the desktop to get into that
[06:53] <N-S> :-)
[06:53] <N-S> Thank you, Balsaq, but I think you didn't read all of my message :-)
[06:54] <N-S> I can't see my desktop.
[06:54] <N-S> X is currently in a mode whih my TV refuses to show.
[06:55] <Balsaq> eweww
[06:55] <N-S> I can see xfce4-display-settings is still running, but since I can't click anything, I can't revert to the previous setting.
[06:55] <N-S> I can access it just fine in console (ssh), but I don't know how to reset the display mode from console
[06:56] <Balsaq> i see
[06:57] <Balsaq> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:57] <Balsaq> a guess
[06:57] <Balsaq> i am no expert
[06:58] <Balsaq> _Techie_, TheSheep, Sysi...HELP
[06:59] <Balsaq> we have a few techs in here that literally walk on H20...

[07:00] <Balsaq> My beans are hidden!
[07:00] <Balsaq> 	
[07:00] <Balsaq> Re: reset display to default in terminal?
[07:00] <Balsaq> you should boot your linux into safe mode, using the grub menu and selecting the safe mode option - the second from the top usually.
[07:00] <Balsaq> there you get a command line interface with root logged in. type the following there:
[07:00] <Balsaq> Code:
[07:00] <Balsaq> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:03] <N-S> ewww
[07:03] <N-S> I'd rather not reboot
[07:03] <N-S> I don't mind killing X
[07:03] <N-S> I remember doing so before, at least on other OSs
[07:04] <Balsaq> hmmm, lets see what else we can find
[07:04] <N-S> I've run Gentoo for years, but got tired of recompiling everything when updates were released
[07:04] <Balsaq> xubuntu is my favorite
[07:04] <N-S> It was something like restart or kill GDM
[07:04] <N-S> but, I need to make sure it restarts with a proper mode
[07:07] <Balsaq> hmmm you cant create another user and log in huh?
[07:09] <Balsaq> If you don’t have access to your graphical (GUI) desktop to delete these folders in Nautilus or you’re stuck at the login screen, drop to a terminal by hitting CTRL + ALT + F1, login to your account, and run this command:
[07:09] <Balsaq>     rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[07:09] <Balsaq> Get back to your GUI desktop by hitting CTRL + ALT + F7.
[07:09] <Balsaq> Login and VOILÀ! Just like the first time you ever logged into your Gnome desktop.
[07:09] <Balsaq> of course you would have to insert the xfce stuff where it is using the gnome stuff
[07:09] <Balsaq> wild shot in the dark
[07:11] <_Techie_> whats the problem?
[07:11] <Balsaq> thank GD
[07:11] <Balsaq> N-S speak....one of the Techs is here
[07:12] <N-S> hey _Techie_
[07:12] <N-S> I accidentally set my display mode to one my TV refuses to show
[07:12] <N-S> I can access it just fine in console (ssh), but I don't know how to reset the display mode from console
[07:13] <_Techie_> i know how to change the mode from terminal
[07:13] <N-S> It was on 1920x1080 and I lowered it to 1024x764 and it just went black (you'd think it would allow such a low res, but noooo).
[07:13] <_Techie_> but i am unsure on syntax for accessing "remote" X servers
[07:13] <N-S> ok
[07:13] <N-S> mmm
[07:14] <_Techie_> and im not in linux atm, having removed it earlier
[07:14] <N-S> I need to change it on display 0 (afaik)
[07:14] <Balsaq> if need be i can go in the basement and boot my xubuntu computer
[07:14] <_Techie_> nah
[07:14] <_Techie_> ill look over the manuals
[07:14] <N-S> oh, silly me, I should be able to use ctrl-alt-Fx to get another console
[07:15] <N-S> which should be on another mode - I'll test, brb
[07:15] <_Techie_> the command to change modes from CLI is xrandr
[07:16] <_Techie_> normally youde do xrandr --output <output> --mode <resolution>
[07:18] <_Techie_> try xrandr --display :0 --mode 1920x1080
[07:19] <N-S> Seems it can't be done remotely
[07:19] <N-S> anyway
[07:20] <N-S> It also seems I've been wasting your time ...
[07:20] <_Techie_> DW
[07:20] <N-S> The TV has now finally decided to show the low-res
[07:20] <_Techie_> haha
[07:20] <_Techie_> it would have been calibrating
[07:20] <N-S> I left it there for some hours
[07:20] <N-S> yeah it did
[07:20] <N-S> but never got anywhere - several minutes
[07:20] <N-S> so I just switched to remote ssh and did other things with the tv
[07:21] <N-S> I'm configuring my WDTV Live to be used as a music player, and it's not doing what I want :-)
[07:21] <N-S> So I had that display running instead of kubuntu
[07:22] <_Techie_> anyway, i gotta go log into world of warcraft as my guild raid starts soon
[07:34] <N-S> :-)
[07:34] <N-S> thank you
[07:34] <N-S> Balsaq and to you too
[07:35] <N-S> I just reset the display to the monstrous 1920x1080, since on 1368x it was showing the image slightly off center
[07:35] <Balsaq> qool
[07:35] <N-S> I just wanted the text to be larger and more readable from the sofa
[07:35] <N-S> Next time I will just make Firefox enlarge the text
[09:31] <_Techie_> its quiet tonight
[09:35] <Sysi> so it seems
[09:48] <_Techie_> sysi, you got any experience in file systems with large cluster sizes?
[09:59] <Sysi> i'm afraid not
[10:20] <duckwars> do i upgarde from xubuntu 9.04 to xubuntu 9.10 just as I would in ubuntu or would I have to do something special?
[10:21] <Balsaq> same process, they offer the upgrades when the updates come in.
[10:23] <Balsaq> (careful 9.04 is the best one....IMO)
[10:24] <Sysi> it may depend
[10:24] <Sysi> but there's alvays chance of problems when you upgrade
[10:29] <_Techie_> if your unsure about updating then you should do some research, if theres nothing great for you in karmic then you may be better staying with jaunty
[10:31] <_Techie_> anyway, its 11:30 and ive got places to be tomorrow
[10:31] <_Techie_> so thats my 2cents for the night
[10:32] <Sysi> half an hour over midday here :)
[10:32] <Balsaq> 532 am here
[10:33] <Sysi> i'll never get bored to different timezones in irc
[10:33] <Balsaq> we are all way different
[10:55] <handjob> Hi all. I need some help: I've been messsing around with netbook remix gui and now i have no sound in regular xfce. Any suggestins? Thx in advance.
[10:56] <eXpl0i7> go to applications -> multimedia -> mixer
[10:56] <eXpl0i7> maybe sound is muted
[10:58] <handjob> If it's alsamixer related i have already unmuted everything.
[10:58] <Sysi> how about pulseaudio mixer
[10:59] <handjob> "Pulsaudio mixer" Where can i find one?
[10:59] <eXpl0i7> try to reload alsa
[10:59] <eXpl0i7> sudo alsa force-reload
[10:59] <handjob> OK
[11:04] <handjob> This is what I've got -> http://pastebin.com/f43819411
[11:11] <handjob> It says something about pulseaudio however i thought i was using alsa. How can i check this setting and if not neceserily switch back to alsa.
[11:16] <handjob> Ok what file is responsible for chosing sound driver?
[11:17] <Sysi> you could totally remove pulseaudio
[11:18] <handjob> I will try to do that.
[11:22] <handjob> I still keep receiving this error : WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/handjob/.gvfs

[21:17] <Vidi> Hello
[21:18] <Vidi> I'm having a slight issue with xubuntu
[21:18] <Vidi> I'm currently on the live CD, but the installer doesn't want to run
[21:19] <Vidi> I'm not having any errors pop up either.  I get a brief thing in the window list saying "Starting Administrative ...", which then disappears
[21:20] <Vidi> but then nothing happens.  Any ideas?
[21:24] <knome> have you checked he integrity of the disc?
[21:26] <Vidi> not yet
[21:26] <Vidi> that's a good idea
[21:27] <Vidi> I'll go try that.  Thanks :)
[21:56] <Omar87> Hi all.
[21:57] <Omar87> I have no idea what I did wrong, but for some reason, but I fail to find any sense of spell checking anywhere on my desktop.
[21:57] <Omar87> Can you please help me fix that?

[22:21] <Omar87> my* spell check problem..
[22:25] <knome> would help a lot if we knew what the problem was...
[23:07] <Omar87> knome, I'm really not sure what I did, but whatever it was, it must have resulted in the disabling of the entire spell check system on my desktop.
[23:08] <Omar87> knome, is there some certain package that I should have installed for it to work?
[23:25] <owen1> my mic is realy low (skype and audacity). alsamixser is all high.  it's logitech AK5370 and used to work.. any clues?
[23:57] <Sachse_Siechtum> owen1 also checked the mixer for pulseaudio?
[23:58] <owen1> Sachse_Siechtum: hello there! what do u mean?
[23:58] <Sachse_Siechtum> well on the volume control I can choose different mixers...like alsa...pulseaudio ect...
[23:59] <Sachse_Siechtum> ..oss mixer...
[23:59] <owen1> i use the alsamixer command. let me try with xfce4 UI.
