[01:45] Does anyone know how to bring up the classic desktop in Ubuntu 11:10? [04:22] Hello. I would like to ask how to unmount a partition when the partition I would like to unmount isn't mounted [04:47] why would you need to unmount it then casey [04:48] nvm [04:48] kids these days [14:07] hi all [14:08] I need help updating/installing my adobe flash player, please [14:09] hi dutchman, what problem are you having? [14:10] I can't get the terminal window to go to the area where I downloaded the file. So I can extract it to the mozilla folder [14:17] Does this help? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [14:17] checking it now [14:21] no go. I still getting nothing [14:24] each time I copy the code for the file location, I get this, "bash: cd: /home/user/Downloads: No such file or directory"!!! [14:26] try dragging the folder to the terminal window and it will write the exact path on the terminal window [14:27] i'll give it a try now [14:28] Is your username really "user" ? [14:29] It now says permission denied. AAAARRRRRRGGGGGG!!!! :-( [14:29] geirha: that would be rather awkward, no? [14:29] who? me [14:30] type sudo before the command [14:30] No, sudo cd won't work [14:30] cd ~/Downloads [14:31] oh, yes of course... [14:32] I tried sudo & then the command. Typed in my password & now I get an error saying, " command not found" [14:36] sory, sudo for cd is no good. try what geirha said [14:36] dutchman79: It would help to see what instructions you are following. [14:38] I'm following the ones from here, "http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/installing-flash" [14:39] under the heading, "Installing the flash plugin manually" [14:40] dutchman79: Ok, in your terminal, if you run the following: ls ~ [14:40] do you see Downloads in the list? if not maybe there's one with your language's translation of Downloads? [14:40] yes [14:41] got it [14:43] When the instructions say cd /home/user/Downloads, it expects you to replace "user" with your username. [14:44] And as I hinted to earlier, if you install Ubuntu in your own language, Downloads may not be named Downloads, but the equivalent word in your language. [14:44] So you may have to change both. [14:44] The next two commands in those instructions should work as is though. [14:45] I'll try it with my username [14:47] Instead of /home/user you can use ~ though. ~ is magical and means "My homedir". Hence cd ~/Downloads [14:48] geirha: sup [14:48] magical huh? lol [14:48] stlsaint: Hi :) [14:48] What, you have a better explanation? :P [14:52] I got the file extraction working. Now having trouble doing the cp command [14:53] What's the error message? [14:55] cannot create regular file & no such file or directory [14:57] Hm. So you don't have /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ ? weird. [14:58] Make sure you didn't make a typo, and keep in mind that pathnames are case sensitive. /Usr is not the same as /usr [14:58] I do, but when I type in the location it says those errors. I can try again [15:00] meh, screw it. make the folder yourself ;) [15:01] * stlsaint doesn't know the overall issue being discussed though so...... [15:01] He's doing http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/installing-flash#w_installing-the-flash-plugin-manually [15:03] I got it working!!!! Yeah :) All I did was when to the folder, selected a file already in there, right clicked on it, selected properties & copied the file location [15:06] well done [15:06] TY all for your help. I very much appreciate it [15:09] I was about to propose an alternative to flash if it didn't work but better like this... === compiledkernel is now known as Guest12062 [20:38] Hey can someone tell me why my ip is saying im in germeny [20:38] we can't see your IP (you have a cloak) and what is saying you're in germany? [20:39] geolocation by IP is not a perfect science [20:39] all science is perfect science [20:39] otherwise its not science [20:39] inference: not helpful [20:40] yeah, pleia2 Hulu also says i am outside america [20:40] philipballew: bummer :( not going through a proxy or anything? [20:41] Not that i am aware of. I have a proxy set up in Auburn, but nothing in germeny. seems odd. [20:41] could just be the address you're coming in on is misclassified with hulu [20:42] strange that it would be to a whole different continent though, only time I ever had this trouble was with tunnels (my ipv6 address showed up as asian for a while) [20:42] raubvogel [20:42] possibly, also the school here might be doing something weird. but i had someone try on their mac and it said san diego [20:43] Sorry for that [20:44] Either try going to http://whatismyip.com and telling us (or PM me/say in ot), or join with another client without identifing to NickServ (Double check could help) [20:45] raubvogel: Least you didn't say your nickserv pass :) [20:45] Unit193: lol [20:46] http://imagebin.org/185197 === iceflatline is now known as Guest26953 [20:48] Well, I have class now. so igtg === iceflatline is now known as Guest32425 [23:32] hi people [23:32] i need to fix plymouth resolution [23:33] maybe i can add some xrandr line into some boot script? [23:34] anyone knows how? [23:45] !crosspost | asterismo [23:45] asterismo: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [23:55] sorry
