| hrjoey | does anybody know a method to fix the failed shutdown issue with ubuntu 12.04? | 04:04 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | hrjoey: what hardware? what issue? | 04:04 |
| holstein | hrjoey: i would check for updates, and try maybe some different kernels | 04:04 |
| hrjoey | custom build. the issue is that no matter how i attempt to shut down my system, the system begins the shutdown procedure, but then fails at the shutdown screen with the loading bar | 04:05 |
| hrjoey | it only happens if i use the computer for a few minutes. if i turn it on and turn it off right away its fine. if i open one application though and then try to shutdown, the shtudown fails | 04:06 |
| hrjoey | i also have installed all available updates through the update manager | 04:07 |
| holstein | hrjoey: i would say, go to stock ubuntu and see how its working | 04:08 |
| Yos | I'd try the live cd, see if the same thing happens on it | 04:10 |
| holstein | yup.. the live CD would be easy | 04:11 |
| hrjoey | i have tried the live cd previously, and it seemed to work a little more often, but the shutdown problem seems to still exist | 04:12 |
| hrjoey | could it be a driver issue? | 04:12 |
| holstein | hrjoey: more often? | 04:15 |
| holstein | hrjoey: the drivers are in the kernel, so thats waht i was poposing. but im not sure about your customizations | 04:15 |
| hrjoey | when i booted up the live cd it shutdown properly about 1 in every 5 times i used applications and then shut down the computer | 04:16 |
| holstein | hrjoey: i would shutdown from the terminal.. and report errors | 04:17 |
| hrjoey | im sorry, didnt realize the drivers are in the kernel. my knowledge is fairly novice when it comes to linux. i just built my first computer and am installing linux because i am an IT student and realize Linux is vital to my future career. | 04:18 |
| hrjoey | i have tried to shutdown using commands such as shutdown now and shutdown -h now, with no success | 04:20 |
| holstein | hrjoey: ok.. but what are the errors? | 04:20 |
| holstein | sudo shutdown -h now | 04:21 |
| hrjoey | i honestly dont know how to check for the errors, its just fails at the gui screen for the shutdown process, and i dont know how to read the log files from there | 04:22 |
| holstein | hrjoey: there should be no GUI screen | 04:22 |
| holstein | hrjoey: you should be in a terminal, and type "sudo shutdown -h now" | 04:22 |
| holstein | then, it'll either shutdown, or it should spit out an error | 04:22 |
| holstein | or hang somewhere | 04:22 |
| hrjoey | oh okay, yes. when i tried before it went into a never ending loop | 04:23 |
| holstein | hrjoey: a loop of what? | 04:23 |
| hrjoey | i tried to read the information it displayed, but it kept scrolling through too fast for me to read the errors | 04:23 |
| holstein | hrjoey: i would test the hardware too | 04:23 |
| holstein | the ram and the hard drive | 04:23 |
| hrjoey | if you would like i could provide you with the make a model of my hardware? | 04:24 |
| holstein | i would just dump it in a search ... but feel free | 04:25 |
| hrjoey | AMD FX-6200 Six Core 3.8 GHz Processor ASUS M5A99X EVO Motherboard ASUS Radeon HD 6850 EAH6850 DC/2DIS/1GD5/V2 Video Card CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 650W Power Supply Western Digital Carviar WD1002FAEX 1TB 64MB Cache 7200RPM G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) | 04:27 |
| holstein | hrjoey: i was thinking more like from the terminal.. lspci | 04:29 |
| holstein | but, i would still just search that in the forums.. see if anyone is having the same issues | 04:30 |
| hrjoey | ok thank you for all the help, hopefully i can use your help and fix these problems in the next few days. | 04:31 |
| holstein | hrjoey: i bet you'll probably find you actually dont have any operating system issues at all | 04:31 |
| hrjoey | ok, so youre saying focus on the kernel and hardware? | 04:32 |
| holstein | hrjoey: it wont hurt to test the ram and the hard drive | 04:32 |
| hrjoey | ok thanks again | 04:32 |

| irkinosor | hi there, | 12:24 |
| Yos_ | hello | 12:25 |
| === Yos_ is now known as Yos | ||
| irkinosor | I just install U12.04 and I can connect to the internet event with the correct proxy setting | 12:25 |
| irkinosor | on firefox and chronium | 12:25 |
| irkinosor | I can download packages however very well | 12:26 |
| irkinosor | What should I do? | 12:26 |
| Yos | well, you are connected to the internet with it now, right ? | 12:26 |
| irkinosor | Or you can see I can connect on the IRC so I don't understand why Firefox and Chronium are not working!! | 12:27 |
| Yos | are you using a proxy ? | 12:27 |
| irkinosor | yes | 12:27 |
| Yos | Then it must be something with your proxy/proxy settings | 12:28 |
| irkinosor | what do you mean. If I can use the IRC channels or the U software Center it means that my proxy is set-up correctly right??? | 12:29 |
| irkinosor | A note: I was using U11.10 yesterday and my internet connection with the same setting worked perfectly... when I upgraded to U12.04 that's when I couldn't connect any more with the previous working proxy setting | 12:33 |
| geirha | irkinosor: Try switching to the guest account and see if you can connect with firefox/chromium there | 12:38 |
| irkinosor | ok. Is my IRC connection gonna be closed? | 12:39 |
| Yos | when you log out, yes | 12:40 |
| geirha | Click your name in the upper right corner, then click guest session. And no, the irc session will not be closed. You can switch back and forth between users. | 12:40 |
| irkinosor | hey @geirha it is working there and I notice that not network systemis set-up though, just set it on firefox | 12:47 |
| irkinosor | So what now? | 12:47 |
| geirha | Not sure I understand the last bit you said, but it sounds like the problem is with your firefox and chromium settings | 12:48 |
| irkinosor | Btw ubuntu had a internal error when I switch back to my personal session | 12:48 |
| geirha | Oh? did it say which program failed? | 12:48 |
| irkinosor | I don't know , I try to submit the error but it satrt asking to go to support over the internet or some... I just cancel after one trial failed | 12:49 |
| irkinosor | I was saying that I used the same proxy setting on the guest session and it work. | 12:50 |
| geirha | Oh. Odd. | 12:50 |
| irkinosor | but I check if the Admin/network setting was set-up and I there is not setting there | 12:51 |
| geirha | Yeah, the guest user has very limited privileges | 12:52 |
| irkinosor | I do I make it work where I have all the privileges then? | 12:53 |
| geirha | Do you have a lot of bookmarks and stuff? it could be useful to try and wipe the browser settings | 12:53 |
| irkinosor | not | 12:54 |
| irkinosor | nothing | 12:54 |
| geirha | ok, if you run the following in a terminal, chromium's settings should be reset to default: mv ~/.config/chromium ~/.config/chromium.backup | 12:55 |
| geirha | make sure chromium is closed first though | 12:55 |
| geirha | the mv command will be silent if it succeeded | 12:56 |
| irkinosor | ... | 12:56 |
| irkinosor | what's mv? | 12:56 |
| geirha | short for "move". It is used to move and/or rename files and folders | 12:57 |
| irkinosor | should I start with sudo? | 12:57 |
| geirha | No sudo | 12:57 |
| geirha | In this case we just rename the chromium folder to chromium.backup | 12:57 |
| irkinosor | all that is in one line right? | 12:58 |
| geirha | yes | 12:58 |
| irkinosor | separated with space?? | 12:58 |
| geirha | mv ~/.config/chromium ~/.config/chromium.backup | 12:58 |
| geirha | you can copy/paste it | 12:58 |
| geirha | you can of course do it with the regular file browser too | 12:59 |
| irkinosor | done | 12:59 |
| irkinosor | I guess I have a back-up now! | 12:59 |
| geirha | Yep | 13:00 |
| irkinosor | next... | 13:01 |
| geirha | start chromium and see if you can access the internets | 13:02 |
| irkinosor | not working! | 13:04 |
| geirha | Hm. Odd that it works for the guest user, but not your admin user :/ | 13:06 |
| irkinosor | odd indeed! | 13:11 |
| irkinosor | @gerha: are you still giving a thought to my problem??? | 13:23 |

| deper29 | is there a way to share folders between users on a machine? | 17:51 |
| bioterror | !samba | deper29 | 17:51 |
| ubot2 | deper29: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 17:51 |
| s-fox | isn't that a little overkill? | 17:52 |
| bioterror | what? | 17:52 |
| s-fox | samba i mean | 17:52 |
| bioterror | why? | 17:53 |
| bioterror | samba is easier than nfs | 17:53 |
| bioterror | oh sorry | 17:54 |
| s-fox | I've always used nfs ;) | 17:54 |
| bioterror | users on a machine :D | 17:54 |
| deper29 | yeah, haha | 17:54 |
| bioterror | haaha | 17:54 |
| bioterror | :D | 17:54 |
| deper29 | use nfs then? | 17:55 |
| bioterror | I was thinking about network | 17:55 |
| deper29 | oh, yeah, just machine :P | 17:55 |
| deper29 | network couldn't I just sshfs? | 17:55 |
| s-fox | brb | 17:55 |
| bioterror | for example | 17:55 |
| Unit193 | The only time I used NFS was in XP. :P | 17:55 |
| bioterror | I've mostly done a folder or something like that to / for accessing files between users on same computer | 17:56 |
| deper29 | i'm not familiar with NFS | 17:56 |
| bioterror | and then made a symlink/shortcut on desktop | 17:56 |
| deper29 | bioterror, I can do that with NFS/ | 17:56 |
| bioterror | deper29, NFS = Network File System | 17:56 |
| bioterror | forget it | 17:56 |
| bioterror | I made a mistake | 17:56 |
| bioterror | as I didnt read well your question | 17:56 |
| deper29 | ?? | 17:56 |
| bioterror | make /Share or something like that folder | 17:57 |
| bioterror | and give it correct rights that everyone can read and write | 17:57 |
| Unit193 | Should already have a ~/Public, no? | 17:57 |
| deper29 | Unit193, I do, but I have a bunch of stuff already set to go to a certain folder, and I don't really want to move all of that to a different folder and reconfigure | 17:58 |
| deper29 | bioterror, so could I just make my music folder have read permissions for all users? | 17:59 |
| deper29 | I only want write permissions to myself | 17:59 |
| bioterror | if you let them access your ~/, then yes | 18:00 |
| deper29 | bioterror, how would I do that? | 18:00 |
| bioterror | you can so to their account and try if they can read your home folder | 18:01 |
| bioterror | you can "su" | 18:01 |
| deper29 | gotcha, I got it working :) | 18:02 |
| deper29 | thanks :D | 18:02 |

| TheStuff | you dont really need | 20:12 |
| s-fox | :) | 20:12 |
| TheStuff | you could just update it nomally | 20:12 |
| TheStuff | but of course you could do a complete reinstall | 20:12 |
| TheStuff | just remember to bckup your files | 20:13 |
| TheStuff | nooo | 20:14 |
| TheStuff | your files have already been deleted | 20:14 |
| TheStuff | if youve parted your disk | 20:15 |
| TheStuff | neokya: | 20:15 |
| Unit193 | ...Are you talking in the wrong channel? :P | 20:18 |
| TheStuff | Gape: you could just do a complete re-install | 20:18 |
| holstein | "if you have reached this channel in error..." | 20:19 |
| Unit193 | TheStuff: Hello? | 20:19 |
| TheStuff | unit: woot | 20:19 |
| holstein | TheStuff: one easy trick is to use the tab complete for nicknames :) | 20:19 |
| TheStuff | Unit193: aha! | 20:19 |
| holstein | type "g" and hit the tab key a few times and you'll see there is no "Gape" | 20:20 |
| Unit193 | But there is a holstein. | 20:20 |
| holstein | and a Unit193 !! | 20:20 |
| TheStuff | Unit193: what is a "holstein" | 20:20 |
| Unit193 | It's someone's irc nick. | 20:20 |
| * holstein 's nickname :) | 20:21 | |
| TheStuff | ericP: be more specific on your problem, please | 20:22 |
| TheStuff | neokya: Youre just gonna have to wait it out, sorry, no better solution. | 20:22 |
| holstein | TheStuff: those folks are not in this channel | 20:23 |
| TheStuff | holstein: what.. | 20:23 |
| holstein | TheStuff: if you use tab to complete the nicknames, you'll see that they are not here... maybe they are in #ubuntu? | 20:23 |
| holstein | TheStuff: there are no nicknames "ericP" or "neokya" here in this channel | 20:23 |
| TheStuff | holstein: why doesnt someone write a script to filter it out, am i gonna have to do it | 20:24 |
| holstein | TheStuff: ? | 20:24 |
| holstein | TheStuff: you can look at the /names list | 20:24 |
| TheStuff | holstein: thats slow, now does irssi support python-plugins | 20:24 |
| holstein | TheStuff: im using irssi | 20:25 |
| holstein | TheStuff: tab complete works great | 20:25 |
| holstein | TheStuff: i use a few plugins, but not for a names list | 20:25 |
| TheStuff | holstein: hmm, gonna have to read into that... | 20:26 |
| holstein | TheStuff: maybe you dropped and got reconnected in the same window in a different channel | 20:26 |
| TheStuff | holstein: ?, only been using irssi for a while. how could that happen | 20:26 |
| holstein | TheStuff: i just trying to come up with a scenario thats not your fault ;) | 20:27 |
| holstein | you are likely just typing in the wrong window | 20:27 |
| TheStuff | holstein: lol.. i probably did something | 20:27 |
| holstein | TheStuff: i started on weechat because it was the one that auto-connected to freenode for me | 20:28 |
| TheStuff | holstein: how do you install a plugin, is it just like in vim where all you have to do is "drop it there" | 20:28 |
| holstein | TheStuff: i didnt understand how to even /connect irssi for a long time | 20:28 |
| holstein | TheStuff: i put them in a /dir in ~/.irssi i think | 20:28 |
| Unit193 | /run script.pl as long as it's in ~/.irssi/scripts or the global scripts dir. | 20:28 |
| holstein | yeah... what Unit193 says ^^ | 20:29 |
| Unit193 | One more dir down in "autorun" for it to run on starting. | 20:29 |
| TheStuff | holstein: is it usually this quiet on the channel? | 20:29 |
| TheStuff | holstein: maybe irc is finally going dead... | 20:30 |
| Unit193 | Well then... | 20:31 |
