ViperVenomHi I burned the iso to a CD and when it boots a purple screen comes up with a picture of a keyboard, an equal sign, and a stick figure. After awhile, my screen starts flashing red/green/blue/white and the CD drive is going crazy scanning really fast. Is this normal, because after a minute of this going on I decided to force shutdown.03:34

ubot2Orwo: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience08:34

ubot2Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/08:35
SnicksieOrwo, just ask and we'll try to answer ;)08:36
C0nfus3dOrwo: LOL shoot your query08:36
Orwoin Xubuntu: the default applications were gone after an update08:37
Orwohow to fix this?08:38
C0nfus3dOrwo: I don't think applications will go after an update. Might be the layout change. Tyr typing 'firefox' without quotes in terminal08:40

IAmNotThatGuyOrwo: you got a tab where you can type command?08:51
Orwoyes08:54
Orwowhat do you suggest me to type into?08:54
Orwo:D08:54
IAmNotThatGuyOrwo: type xfce4-terminal in that box08:56
Orwoand press Run; it opens a terminal window.08:58
IAmNotThatGuytype firefox08:58
Orwoand press Run; it opens a firefox window.08:59
IAmNotThatGuyGood. So your applications are not removed and they are just not shown in the panel right?09:00
IAmNotThatGuyyou can pin it to the panels09:00
Orwobut I said "they were gone as default applications"09:00
SnicksieOrwo, do you mean that f.e. when you open a .html file, it doesnt open with firefox anymore?09:01
Orwoyes,  or htop from the menu - can't open a terminal09:02
Orwothey were gone as default applications09:02
OutOfControlOrwo: What program does  it open?09:02
SnicksieOrwo, try this (copypaste from the forums)09:03
SnicksieYou'll probably still find that some applications open links in Firefox, or in a new window when you prefer a new tab. In gconf-editor you can go to desktop>applications>browser and set the browser to epiphany, or epiphany -n if you always want pages forced to open in a new tab. You might also need to go tognome>url-handlers and set the default as epiphany --new-tab %s09:03

Orwoyou see ... if you go in the default applications window - nothing there09:04

Orwo"W: GPG error: http://dl.google.com stable Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG A040830F7FAC5991 Google, Inc. Linux Package Signing Key <linux-packages-keymaster@google.com>"09:48
Snicksieokay... basically it means the 'signature' of the package is invalid... that means they cant verify the package is actually from 'Linux Package Signing Key' or whatever :)09:49
Orwowhy it became invalid?09:50
Snicksiemaybe they signed it with another (new) key or someone pretending to be Google made the package and signed it with a different key (so not the one the real google uses)09:51
Orwofix?10:05
