[00:03] maybe it was too late, and the former version got allready installed? [00:03] you suggest doing that trism? === peto is now known as petoo [00:04] Wiz_KeeD: no, was just pointing out where the package was, I use the flashplugin-installer package (which just downloads the plugin from partner without adding it) [00:04] Wiz_KeeD: 32bit or 64? [00:04] and how does it work for you trism ?

[00:05] Dr_willis, it's a fresh install, ran it 2 days ago [00:05] 3 max [00:06] Wiz_KeeD: which browser do you use? could check about::plugins or chrome://plugins to see which version is being used [00:06] i tried chrome and firefox [00:06] hi [00:06] but i'd like to use firefox [00:06] Wiz_KeeD: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.236-0precise1_amd64.deb [00:06] where should I put my JAVA_HOME variable? [00:07] i don't even see adobe plugin there trism [00:07] Hi all. I guess I had found a bug [00:08] Wiz_KeeD: it could be that it failed to download, may try removing flashplugin-installer, adding partner and installing adobe-flashplugin as usr13 suggests (or might try: sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer;) [00:08] Wiz_KeeD: I know I had a few problems with the plugin not downloading when they switched to the update-notifier hooks [00:09] Failure to download extra data filesName- [00:09] on reinstall [00:09] in a gui window [00:09] Wiz_KeeD: Can you please post the output of lshw -c cpu [00:10] Wiz_KeeD: adobe flashplayer is in Canonical Partner ppa.

There are many profile files, [00:13] petoo: ~/.bashrc will work fine. [00:13] Wiz_KeeD, purge does not touch anything in the users home dirs. :) neither does the normal apt-get remove. [00:13] Dr_willis, this means that it will still be "messy" ? [00:13] Wiz_KeeD: you'll then need to: sudo apt-get update; before sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin; [00:13] trism, doesn't that mean that i'll install ALL updates available? [00:13] Wiz_KeeD, no idea what you mean.. the apt-get system does NOT touch any settings or config files in the users home dirs.. [00:14] i really don't want to do that.. [00:14] Wiz_KeeD: if you want to remove everything related with that package, use autoremove [00:14] Wiz_KeeD: uname -a #What does it say?...

What do I do to fix this? [01:06] hi all! [01:09] TiZ, perhaps it is going to sleep [01:09] when in openfirmware, typing dir cd;, \ I get a directory structure, however, typing any contained returns an error, eg dir cd:, \install\ fails... any suggestions?

[01:15] TiZ: I know it happens to me if I enable the autosuspend for the mouse in the tunables section of powertop (it's not enabled by default though) [01:16] trism: But laptop-mode-tools might be doing it.

[01:26] how would I add an option to omit those [01:27] naryfa, you can just install those applications as one-off applications [01:27] naryfa: most that you install will install those as well, and the configs will not be destroyed (in general) by a simple remove... [01:27] by most that you install I mean most DMs that you would install [01:28] escott: are you sure about those configs? because that's what I want to keep heheheh [01:28] naryfa, the configs are in your home directory which is never touched by apt [01:28] sorry that was to L3top [01:28] nice [01:28] much appreciated [01:28] so just reinstall the missing apps [01:28] has anyone else had any issues booting 12.04 to a clean system?

[01:35] ActionParsnip: does that mean every 56k modem should work worldwide as a general rule? I know I read there were some modems that didn't work in the US due to com ports only supporting up to like 8 and the US ISPs generally ran on 13. or something like that.

[01:44] DWSR: I would not put a whole lot of hope in the update basket. [01:44] My computer IS 6 years old [01:44] TheWhiteHatter: for you? Yes.... that might indeed give you some hope.

[02:04] igotchu, because it's cool [02:04] right>>> it use to be [02:04] xangua: It's telling me there is no disk in the drive [02:05] L3top: Anyway, the Laptop has an HDMI/VGA output, which is why I assume it says VGA1 disconnected. [02:05] L3top: And that's the right res for my panel [02:05] LVDS is the laptop monitor. Nothing else is connected. [02:06] I have to go eat... I will try to return another day. Thank-you for the assistance. [02:07] DWSR: lsmod | grep -Ei '(vesa|fbdev|radeon|intel|fglrx)' [02:07] I reallI really hope this works... [02:07] Actually, before I do something stupid [02:07] I'm going to put the BIOS update iso on my bootable flash drive [02:07] Using a program I loaded in Wine [02:07] Sound safe? [02:08] L3top: http://pastebin.com/Ke8L10F1 [02:09] No [02:09] TheWhiteHatter: [02:09] yes? [02:09] L3top: yes [02:09] L3top: Unity not starting is a new thing. Before it was starting properly. [02:09] (It is Unity as the default shell, right? Or are we back to Gnome?) [02:09] I would NOT try and update bios via wine to mount a manufacturers utility. Bad news... bad bad bad news [02:10] DWSR: Unity is a shell for gnome [02:10] cool [02:10] s/utility/windows utility/ [02:10] ActionParsnip: It's shellception? [02:11] cool, found an ubuntu compatible multiboot usb creator [02:11] is it safe to put the BIOS update .iso on a bootable flash drive? [02:11] DWSR: it simply replaces gnme-panel as the default shell. It's still Gnome desktop [02:12] TheWhiteHatter: try with unetbootin [02:12] ActionParsnip: Shellception sounds cooler. [02:12] ActionParsnip: :P [02:12] unetbootin only lets me put 1 distro... [02:12] DWSR: yeah... [02:14] DWSR: if 3d is giving you issues, try the 2D session [02:14] ActionParsnip: 1) It wasn't up until just now. I imagine that a complete reconfig of Xorg will probably fix it. [02:15] 2) I want it to work. Seriously. Why is this so difficult? AMD provides drivers for this. [02:15] <_cb> All of a sudden I don't have maximize/minmize icons for geany. How do I fix? [02:15] DWSR: didn'tyou say there was an itel gpu there too? [02:15] Okay, I shall use unetbootin [02:15] ActionParsnip: Yeah, it's the Intel/AMD hybrid. [02:15] even if it means sacrificing one of my precious flash drives [02:16] DWSR: therein lies the issue [02:16] DWSR: if it was ONLY ATi, then it'd be fine [02:16] Ubuntu just experienced it's third "internal error" in 5 minutes [02:17] TheWhiteHatter: have you tested your RAM using memtest from Grub [02:18] yeah [02:18] about 2 weeks ago [02:19] unetbootin [02:19] whoops, wrong window [02:21] how can i get rid of the toolbar on a second display? [02:23] hello? [02:23] zyx: howdy [02:23] DWSR: This is almost surely an exercise in futility... your ATI module is loaded, but it is not active on the intel header due to confusion... and I am stretched thin across channels... and I didn't like your SPAEK ANGLISH rant... Your best bet is to purge the fgrlx driver, reinstall the mesa drivers, install vgaswitcheroo, and live with it. I am afraid stuff I wrote needs support. Don't take it personally. [02:24] <_cb> minimize, maximize,close icons have disapeared for Geany everything else seems ok. How do I fix? [02:24] L3top: apt-get purge? [02:25] L3top: Or something else? [02:25] now thats a pain [02:26] _cb: same in the 2D session? [02:26] hello all :) [02:29] DWSR: http://pastebin.com/vvSarVVF [02:29] ok so I got kubuntu 12.04 installed on my SSD and for auto trip enabled (thanks to help from you guys) but like every other boot my bios seems to not be able to see the SSD. reboot another time or two and it seems to run a chkdsk or something on boot (black screen for a long time) then boots just fine. [02:29] L3pot: brasero is telling me my CD is full. [02:29] L3pot: it's brand new [02:30] <_cb> /msg NickServ identify cali [02:30] sorry TheWhiteHatter... have to handle stuff I wrote that broke. [02:30] afk [02:30] afchannel really... still. [02:30] auto trim* [02:30] <_cb> ActionParsnip yes 2d too [02:31] ActionParsnip: Help with brasero? it says my brand new cd -r is full. [02:33] TheWhiteHatter: try xfburn [02:33] installing now [02:34] oooh. . google said this is really a chat room. . . hahaha what a noob i am. googling IRC hahah [02:35] zyx: its a support channel, chitchat in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:35] #ubuntu-offtopic is a chat room [02:37] xfburn works great! [02:37] I'm just trying to decide if this is a linux, laptop, or SSD issue. it's like the bios just randomly likes to not see the SSD [02:39] oh thanks for that great info. "is a chat": noted. it just confuses me, seeing this codes in front of me. i feel like im inside an IDE. [02:39] now xfburn is hung at 99% [02:40] I got a bit funny question, for hunspell or ispell users, can I change the spelling suggestions to start at 1 and not at 0 ? [02:40] it's not the most natural way for me to need both hands for correcting the spelling, it used be from 1 up, not its from 0 up [02:41] TheWhiteHatter: 99% of what? [02:41] how do you hook up ones xbox i got a switch and i setup a dns dhcp on my computer still dont know what is up [02:41] burning the disk [02:42] NiKon: how do you mean 'hook up'? [02:42] TheWhiteHatter: give it a while.. [02:43] link xbox with network on the switch [02:43] NiKon: can you ping the IP of the xbox? [02:43] ill try that [02:45] It's a 1.8MB iso... [02:45] try ed but no response [02:46] ima try turn it and on [02:47] NiKon: then I'd check the networking config in both systems then, make sure they are both on the same network address and so on [02:49] i got the xbox network hooked from my cpu dir to a switch [02:50] NiKon: do the first 3 IPs of both system addresses match [02:50] Here i go to update my BIOS, WISH ME LUCK [02:50] can i list ip so u can hilp [02:51] NiKon: ifconfig will show the IP in Ubuntu [02:51] * alchemis19 wish's TheWhateHatter some luck === alchemis19 is now known as alchemist9 [02:55] 10.42.1.0,10.42.0.1 the ones the xbox should connect to [02:57] I almost had a heart attack... [02:57] Hi all [02:57] Hello [02:57] I misread the bios update thing and thought it erased my bios but failed to update [02:58] That was scary [02:58] SO MUCH BEEPING === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [02:58] I'm going to go change my pants [02:58] TheWhiteHatter: read everything twice on a bios update lol.. [02:59] lol ya [02:59] NiKon: and what IP does the ubuntu system have? [02:59] i have a problem: when burning 12.04 onto cd-rom one of the discs fouled up and wouldn't work on the install so i had to burn another one, i didn't have a sharpie on hand and i mixed the 2 discs up. how to i find out which one of these is the good disc? [03:00] 192.168.0.13 [03:00] <[Relic]> anyone have any idea how to set the fan speed on an Nvidia card and have it take effect when it starts up? [03:00] IlikeMoose: there should be a media check option on the disk, just boot and check.. [03:00] NiKon: that's why then, you need to change the IP to match the xbox [03:01] alchemist9: thanks [03:01] IlikeMoose: you can mount the CD, change directory to the root of the CD then run: md5sum -c MD5SUM [03:01] IlikeMoose: it will check all the files are ok [03:02] ActionParsnip: i like that option better :) [03:02] does dns need to be auto [03:03] Hi all, need help please with virualbox and AROS on ubuntu 12.04.... [03:04] chuxxsss: what exactly do you need help with? [03:04] hi all where can I find java for ubuntu? [03:04] I need to install java [03:05] !java | naasei [03:05] naasei: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [03:06] thanks [03:06] I have an emachines netbook and my microphone does not work, any ideas on how to fix? [03:06] Setting up Virtualbox to run AROS on my ubuntu machine. having problems. [03:07] keithclark: does your mic show up in alsamixer? [03:08] chuxxsss: is virtualbox installed? [03:08] chuxxsss: might try asking #aros [03:08] Yes Virtualbox installed. [03:09] alchemist9, shows up but no response [03:09] IdleOne, Try no one answering in that channel. [03:09] chuxxsss: what is the problem? [03:11] keithclark: hmm it could be a driver issue.. let me check something... [03:11] Hello [03:12] alchemist9, thanks [03:12] IdleOne, not sure on the setting own get to the display or grub start then says it is running blank screen. [03:12] Hello keithclark [03:13] for the life of me can't remember the forsaken tools name.. [03:13] Hello synaptix [03:14] um [03:14] hi? [03:15] Yuuka, hey [03:15] Yuuka: Please, stop greeting random people. It may be annoying for someone. [03:16] I'm annoyed right now [03:16] Because of all the pings I'm getting from this channel [03:16] anyone familiar with SSDs? [03:17] Yuuka, did you have an actual support question? [03:17] Topher82, try ##hardware [03:17] thanks [03:17] keithclark: try sudo alsaconf and see if your card is automaticly detected.. [03:18] No, I didn't [03:18] I shouldn't have to [03:18] Yuuka, this is support only chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:18] L3pot: did you fix that thing, that broke.? [03:18] * alchemist9 wanders off into off-topic land [03:19] I'm pretty sure the 1463 people in here aren't only here to ask for support. [03:19] If so, ubuntu needs to be more user-friendly [03:19] HEH HEH [03:19] No, but they are'nt being chatty cathy [03:19] Yuuka, take it elsewhere [03:19] use #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [03:19] Is it a problem? [03:19] Am I harming anyone? [03:19] yes [03:19] What was that for? [03:19] Thank you baz [03:20] Yuuka: Welcome to IRC. [03:20] You're thanking him? [03:20] Yuuka, lets move on. chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [03:20] I've been on IRC longer than you. [03:20] Yuuka: We have separate channels for general chat and for support. This is the support channel. [03:20] Yuuka: He asked to take the chit-chat elsewhere. You can sit in here 9and answer questions, if you are able to). But please leave this channel strictly for support and bring the chit-chat to #ubuntu-offtopic. [03:21] alchemist9, command not found [03:22] is trying to decide if she needs to buy a used macbook pro. :) [03:22] got it working on wireless fml [03:23] good evening all. I've been having problems with kubuntu 12.04 on here. I swapped the HDD in my Acer Aspire 3820T for an OCZ Agility3, I got linux installed and trim enabled, no swap file just installed / to the full drive. and now like every other boot the bios seems to fail to see the HDD entirely. if I reboot once or twice it boots but seems to sit on a black screen for a long time (I assume it's running a chkdsk of some sort to repair [03:23] the partitions) [03:23] keithclark: hmm my other suggestion is sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa ... odd they keep removing tools that work... [03:24] DWSR: Still here? [03:25] Topher82: check noacpi boot option. [03:25] alchemist9, yup and now my touch pad stopped working.....this is frustrating [03:25] i installed ubuntu from the bare mini iso, what package do i install to configure a printer / scanner? [03:26] !info cups | skrite [03:26] skrite: cups (source: cups): Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server. In component main, is optional. Version 1.5.2-9ubuntu1 (precise), package size 1217 kB, installed size 4098 kB [03:26] I have a Dell Latitude E6400 running 12.04-current - it doesn't suspend reliably (50% works). Any suggestions? [03:26] I think I enabled that during the install [03:27] how or where would I do that now after install? [03:27] vmesons: I would need more info as to what is failing. [03:27] skrite: and if you want graphical configuration system-config-printer [03:27] Topher82: apt-cache policy cups [03:27] bwat47: gotcha, thanks [03:27] Topher82: apt-cache policy cups | grep Installed [03:27] keithclark:hmm issues galore [03:27] L3top: most serrvices shutdown, the disk light goes idle ,and it hangs. Let me check the kern.log [03:28] bwat47: after install, how do i execute? [03:28] ok the grep line gave me no output [03:29] vmesons: I would check /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/syslog [03:29] cups: [03:29] Installed: 1.5.3-0ubuntu1 [03:29] Candidate: 1.5.3-0ubuntu1 [03:29] Version table: [03:29] *** 1.5.3-0ubuntu1 0 [03:29] Topher82: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:32] vmesons: are you using chrome by chance? [03:32] alchemist9, 'alsa is not installed' [03:32] yep. [03:32] but I usually kill it before trying to suspend. [03:33] vmesons: I have seen a couple of folk having issue with suspend due to chrome. Please submit a bug. [03:33] !bug [03:33] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [03:34] * vmesons will check if a chrom free login -> suspsend works and if not I'll file a bug. [03:34] vmesons: ps aux | grep -i chrome prior to shutdown [03:34] er suspend [03:34] L3top: sure. [03:34] alchemist9, any ideas? [03:35] keithclark: I am not familiar with your issue... but... in almost any case alsa should be installed. Can you please restate your issue? [03:35] L3top: I don't have a clear record of a failed suspend. The last one was a couple of days ago but they're not hard to reproduce. Tomorrow probably. [03:36] keithclark: apt-cache policy alsa-base | grep -i installed [03:37] vmesons: if you could pastebin what you believe is a clear record... perhaps I could help [03:37] L3top, Installed: 1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu1 [03:38] L3top: Yes. [03:38] L3top: You less busy now? [03:38] DWSR: yes sir. Did you see my earlier post? [03:38] hello [03:39] L3top: With the commands? [03:39] L3top: I don't understand how to install vgaswitcheroo [03:39] DWSR: No, the completely ineffective ones. [03:39] I keed, I keed. [03:40] My english not too good, but I try to make my known. Does anyone have a torrent link for the v12 LTS iso? my download takes too long on normal and I keep losing the file when the power dies [03:40] I never qualified how useful the commands are. :P [03:40] one moment DWSR. [03:40] I look on the website but they not make the torrent link there as I can see [03:41] Dave-_: what language do you speak? [03:41] Uno momento DWSR. [03:41] L3top: I speak the spanish and the C++ (: [03:42] but do you understand my question, I've been taking english on the rosetta stone [03:42] !es | Dave-_ perhaps you will be better served here. [03:42] Dave-_ perhaps you will be better served here.: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [03:43] L3top: That really didn't seem to help btw. [03:43] Dave-_: I do... but I believe that your solution will be better understood via the channel for your lang [03:43] L3top: Thank you alots... [03:44] l3top: is there a torrent file even because I think that the other people would do the slow too... [03:44] question: i have some iptables rules i'd like to have enabled at bootup but i dont' want to use the stupid ufw thing [03:44] hey guys does ubuntu 12.04 already contain gnome 3.4 and if yes how can i update there? [03:44] Dave-_: it depends on your connection and your repos. [03:44] Hang on I ask my sister, she speaks the better english [03:44] I know google should tell me this, but I can't tell what is old suggestions versus recent. I've messed up my other ubuntu install somehow, might be related to video drivers. Is it still suggested that I download the latest graphics drivers from AMD if I plan to play games (wine + steam) ? [03:45] can I just save my iptables rules using iptables-save and then have it load on bootup? [03:45] DWSR: I havent given you a solution other than to name it. I do not have your hardware available to me, and you are the first to ask where to find vgaswitcheroo. [03:46] Hey, davey wants to know whether or not the installer iso for v12.04 of ubuntu, he says the LTS one also, is available as a torrent. our bandwidth is pretty bad, and the power is kind of unstable too. He keeps losing the ISO because of power outage when downloading it the normal way [03:46] DWSR: i am not trying to be obstinant with you. Have you completed the steps I gave you in pastebin? [03:47] Yes. [03:47] L3top: And I know that you're not. [03:47] :o [03:48] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics [03:48] dang 1466 users [03:48] DWSR: ^ [03:48] i wish i had that many on my ircd :o [03:48] do you have an ubuntu support question chachin? [03:49] nah just curious to see what amount of users is today [03:49] L3top: /boot/config-2.6.* doesn't exist. Do I need to build a custom kernel? [03:49] der what DWSR? [03:50] hey you guys i wanted to install gnome 3.4 in ubuntu 12.04 and kde 4.7 i think [03:50] is that possible? [03:50] Hey... does anyone know the answer or should I tell my brother it doesn't exist? [03:51] Dave-_, yeah it exist as a torrent [03:51] chachin: This channel exists to provide support for *buntu.

[04:00] i mean i tried to install gnome [04:01] but it doesn't really look like THAT gnome that i could try out in fedora [04:02] does anyone here want a picture of my ass [04:02] !anyone [04:02] A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."
