[04:04] <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
[04:05] <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
[04:06] <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
[04:07] <hrjoey> i also have installed all available updates through the update manager
[04:08] <holstein> hrjoey: i would say, go to stock ubuntu and see how its working
[04:10] <Yos> I'd try the live cd, see if the same thing happens on it
[04:11] <holstein> yup.. the live CD would be easy
[04:12] <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?
[04:15] <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
[04:16] <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
[04:17] <holstein> hrjoey: i would shutdown from the terminal.. and report errors
[04:18] <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.
[04:20] <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?
[04:21] <holstein> sudo shutdown -h now
[04:22] <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
[04:23] <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
[04:24] <hrjoey> if you would like i could provide you with the make a model of my hardware?
[04:25] <holstein> i would just dump it in a search ... but feel free
[04:27] <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)
[04:29] <holstein> hrjoey: i was thinking more like from the terminal.. lspci
[04:30] <holstein> but, i would still just search that in the forums.. see if anyone is having the same issues
[04:31] <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
[04:32] <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
[07:59] <s-fox> Hello :)
[12:24] <irkinosor> hi there,
[12:25] <Yos_> hello
[12:25] <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
[12:26] <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 ?
[12:27] <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
[12:28] <Yos> Then it must be something with your proxy/proxy settings
[12:29] <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???
[12:33] <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
[12:38] <geirha> irkinosor: Try switching to the guest account and see if you can connect with firefox/chromium there
[12:39] <irkinosor> ok. Is my IRC connection gonna be closed?
[12:40] <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.
[12:47] <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?
[12:48] <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?
[12:49] <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
[12:50] <irkinosor> I was saying that I used the same proxy setting on the guest session and it work.
[12:50] <geirha> Oh. Odd.
[12:51] <irkinosor> but I check if the Admin/network setting was set-up and I there is not setting there
[12:52] <geirha> Yeah, the guest user has very limited privileges
[12:53] <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
[12:54] <irkinosor> not
[12:54] <irkinosor> nothing
[12:55] <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
[12:56] <geirha> the mv command will be silent if it succeeded
[12:56] <irkinosor> ...
[12:56] <irkinosor> what's mv?
[12:57] <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
[12:58] <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
[12:59] <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!
[13:00] <geirha> Yep
[13:01] <irkinosor> next...
[13:02] <geirha> start chromium and see if you can access the internets
[13:04] <irkinosor> not working!
[13:06] <geirha> Hm. Odd that it works for the guest user, but not your admin user :/
[13:11] <irkinosor> odd indeed!
[13:23] <irkinosor> @gerha: are you still giving a thought to my problem???
[15:28] <BlindedCannibal> Hello
[15:38] <Sidewinder> Mornin' BlindedCannibal
[15:59] <s-fox> biab
[17:42] <s-fox> Hi
[17:51] <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.
[17:52] <s-fox> isn't that a little overkill?
[17:52] <bioterror> what?
[17:52] <s-fox> samba i mean
[17:53] <bioterror> why?
[17:53] <bioterror> samba is easier than nfs
[17:54] <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
[17:55] <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
[17:56] <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> ??
[17:57] <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?
[17:58] <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
[17:59] <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
[18:00] <bioterror> if you let them access your ~/, then yes
[18:00] <deper29> bioterror, how would I do that?
[18:01] <bioterror> you can so to their account and try if they can read your home folder
[18:01] <bioterror> you can "su"
[18:02] <deper29> gotcha, I got it working :)
[18:02] <deper29> thanks :D
[18:35] <s-fox> biab
[20:12] <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
[20:13] <TheStuff> just remember to bckup your files
[20:14] <TheStuff> nooo
[20:14] <TheStuff> your files have already been deleted
[20:15] <TheStuff> if youve parted your disk
[20:15] <TheStuff> neokya:
[20:18] <Unit193> ...Are you talking in the wrong channel? :P
[20:18] <TheStuff> Gape: you could just do a complete re-install
[20:19] <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!
[20:20] <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.
[20:21]  * holstein 's nickname :)
[20:22] <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.
[20:23] <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
[20:24] <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
[20:25] <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
[20:26] <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
[20:27] <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
[20:28] <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.
[20:29] <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?
[20:30] <TheStuff> holstein: maybe irc is finally going dead...
[20:31] <Unit193> Well then...
[23:24] <bACktRaCk5> hello to all. i`m beginner on linux.. and i want to ask if is possible to see a crypted file..
[23:33] <bACktRaCk5> can some one tell me how can i decrypt a file pls ?
