[04:04] does anybody know a method to fix the failed shutdown issue with ubuntu 12.04? [04:04] hrjoey: what hardware? what issue? [04:04] hrjoey: i would check for updates, and try maybe some different kernels [04:05] 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 [04:06] 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 [04:07] i also have installed all available updates through the update manager [04:08] hrjoey: i would say, go to stock ubuntu and see how its working [04:10] I'd try the live cd, see if the same thing happens on it [04:11] yup.. the live CD would be easy [04:12] 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] could it be a driver issue? [04:15] hrjoey: more often? [04:15] hrjoey: the drivers are in the kernel, so thats waht i was poposing. but im not sure about your customizations [04:16] 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 [04:17] hrjoey: i would shutdown from the terminal.. and report errors [04:18] 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. [04:20] i have tried to shutdown using commands such as shutdown now and shutdown -h now, with no success [04:20] hrjoey: ok.. but what are the errors? [04:21] sudo shutdown -h now [04:22] 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] hrjoey: there should be no GUI screen [04:22] hrjoey: you should be in a terminal, and type "sudo shutdown -h now" [04:22] then, it'll either shutdown, or it should spit out an error [04:22] or hang somewhere [04:23] oh okay, yes. when i tried before it went into a never ending loop [04:23] hrjoey: a loop of what? [04:23] i tried to read the information it displayed, but it kept scrolling through too fast for me to read the errors [04:23] hrjoey: i would test the hardware too [04:23] the ram and the hard drive [04:24] if you would like i could provide you with the make a model of my hardware? [04:25] i would just dump it in a search ... but feel free [04:27] 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) [04:29] hrjoey: i was thinking more like from the terminal.. lspci [04:30] but, i would still just search that in the forums.. see if anyone is having the same issues [04:31] ok thank you for all the help, hopefully i can use your help and fix these problems in the next few days. [04:31] hrjoey: i bet you'll probably find you actually dont have any operating system issues at all [04:32] ok, so youre saying focus on the kernel and hardware? [04:32] hrjoey: it wont hurt to test the ram and the hard drive [04:32] ok thanks again === angela-android is now known as nothingspecial [07:59] Hello :) === tsimpson_ is now known as tsimpson [12:24] hi there, [12:25] hello === Yos_ is now known as Yos [12:25] I just install U12.04 and I can connect to the internet event with the correct proxy setting [12:25] on firefox and chronium [12:26] I can download packages however very well [12:26] What should I do? [12:26] well, you are connected to the internet with it now, right ? [12:27] Or you can see I can connect on the IRC so I don't understand why Firefox and Chronium are not working!! [12:27] are you using a proxy ? [12:27] yes [12:28] Then it must be something with your proxy/proxy settings [12:29] 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??? [12:33] 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 [12:38] irkinosor: Try switching to the guest account and see if you can connect with firefox/chromium there [12:39] ok. Is my IRC connection gonna be closed? [12:40] when you log out, yes [12:40] 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. [12:47] hey @geirha it is working there and I notice that not network systemis set-up though, just set it on firefox [12:47] So what now? [12:48] Not sure I understand the last bit you said, but it sounds like the problem is with your firefox and chromium settings [12:48] Btw ubuntu had a internal error when I switch back to my personal session [12:48] Oh? did it say which program failed? [12:49] 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 [12:50] I was saying that I used the same proxy setting on the guest session and it work. [12:50] Oh. Odd. [12:51] but I check if the Admin/network setting was set-up and I there is not setting there [12:52] Yeah, the guest user has very limited privileges [12:53] I do I make it work where I have all the privileges then? [12:53] Do you have a lot of bookmarks and stuff? it could be useful to try and wipe the browser settings [12:54] not [12:54] nothing [12:55] 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] make sure chromium is closed first though [12:56] the mv command will be silent if it succeeded [12:56] ... [12:56] what's mv? [12:57] short for "move". It is used to move and/or rename files and folders [12:57] should I start with sudo? [12:57] No sudo [12:57] In this case we just rename the chromium folder to chromium.backup [12:58] all that is in one line right? [12:58] yes [12:58] separated with space?? [12:58] mv ~/.config/chromium ~/.config/chromium.backup [12:58] you can copy/paste it [12:59] you can of course do it with the regular file browser too [12:59] done [12:59] I guess I have a back-up now! [13:00] Yep [13:01] next... [13:02] start chromium and see if you can access the internets [13:04] not working! [13:06] Hm. Odd that it works for the guest user, but not your admin user :/ [13:11] odd indeed! [13:23] @gerha: are you still giving a thought to my problem??? === holstein_ is now known as holstein [15:28] Hello [15:38] Mornin' BlindedCannibal [15:59] biab [17:42] Hi === duanedes1gn is now known as duanedesign [17:51] is there a way to share folders between users on a machine? [17:51] !samba | deper29 [17:51] 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. [17:52] isn't that a little overkill? [17:52] what? [17:52] samba i mean [17:53] why? [17:53] samba is easier than nfs [17:54] oh sorry [17:54] I've always used nfs ;) [17:54] users on a machine :D [17:54] yeah, haha [17:54] haaha [17:54] :D [17:55] use nfs then? [17:55] I was thinking about network [17:55] oh, yeah, just machine :P [17:55] network couldn't I just sshfs? [17:55] brb [17:55] for example [17:55] The only time I used NFS was in XP. :P [17:56] I've mostly done a folder or something like that to / for accessing files between users on same computer [17:56] i'm not familiar with NFS [17:56] and then made a symlink/shortcut on desktop [17:56] bioterror, I can do that with NFS/ [17:56] deper29, NFS = Network File System [17:56] forget it [17:56] I made a mistake [17:56] as I didnt read well your question [17:56] ?? [17:57] make /Share or something like that folder [17:57] and give it correct rights that everyone can read and write [17:57] Should already have a ~/Public, no? [17:58] 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 [17:59] bioterror, so could I just make my music folder have read permissions for all users? [17:59] I only want write permissions to myself [18:00] if you let them access your ~/, then yes [18:00] bioterror, how would I do that? [18:01] you can so to their account and try if they can read your home folder [18:01] you can "su" [18:02] gotcha, I got it working :) [18:02] thanks :D === yofel_ is now known as yofel [18:35] biab [20:12] you dont really need [20:12] :) [20:12] you could just update it nomally [20:12] but of course you could do a complete reinstall [20:13] just remember to bckup your files [20:14] nooo [20:14] your files have already been deleted [20:15] if youve parted your disk [20:15] neokya: [20:18] ...Are you talking in the wrong channel? :P [20:18] Gape: you could just do a complete re-install [20:19] "if you have reached this channel in error..." [20:19] TheStuff: Hello? [20:19] unit: woot [20:19] TheStuff: one easy trick is to use the tab complete for nicknames :) [20:19] Unit193: aha! [20:20] type "g" and hit the tab key a few times and you'll see there is no "Gape" [20:20] But there is a holstein. [20:20] and a Unit193 !! [20:20] Unit193: what is a "holstein" [20:20] It's someone's irc nick. [20:21] * holstein 's nickname :) [20:22] ericP: be more specific on your problem, please [20:22] neokya: Youre just gonna have to wait it out, sorry, no better solution. [20:23] TheStuff: those folks are not in this channel [20:23] holstein: what.. [20:23] TheStuff: if you use tab to complete the nicknames, you'll see that they are not here... maybe they are in #ubuntu? [20:23] TheStuff: there are no nicknames "ericP" or "neokya" here in this channel [20:24] holstein: why doesnt someone write a script to filter it out, am i gonna have to do it [20:24] TheStuff: ? [20:24] TheStuff: you can look at the /names list [20:24] holstein: thats slow, now does irssi support python-plugins [20:25] TheStuff: im using irssi [20:25] TheStuff: tab complete works great [20:25] TheStuff: i use a few plugins, but not for a names list [20:26] holstein: hmm, gonna have to read into that... [20:26] TheStuff: maybe you dropped and got reconnected in the same window in a different channel [20:26] holstein: ?, only been using irssi for a while. how could that happen [20:27] TheStuff: i just trying to come up with a scenario thats not your fault ;) [20:27] you are likely just typing in the wrong window [20:27] holstein: lol.. i probably did something [20:28] TheStuff: i started on weechat because it was the one that auto-connected to freenode for me [20:28] 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] TheStuff: i didnt understand how to even /connect irssi for a long time [20:28] TheStuff: i put them in a /dir in ~/.irssi i think [20:28] /run script.pl as long as it's in ~/.irssi/scripts or the global scripts dir. [20:29] yeah... what Unit193 says ^^ [20:29] One more dir down in "autorun" for it to run on starting. [20:29] holstein: is it usually this quiet on the channel? [20:30] holstein: maybe irc is finally going dead... [20:31] Well then... [23:24] hello to all. i`m beginner on linux.. and i want to ask if is possible to see a crypted file.. [23:33] can some one tell me how can i decrypt a file pls ?
