| raub | Is /var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf autogenerated? Should it be edited or left alone? The big warnings on the top of the file seem to imply the latter | 13:47 |
| geirha | In general, stuff under /var/lib should be left alone | 13:48 |
| holstein | anyone using laptop-mode ? some function keys stopped working.. the volume controls | 15:52 |
| holstein | i think i'll just do a hack-y workaround and remap some keyboard shortcuts | 15:58 |
| shery | Ever since I've upgraded to 12.04, I've had major issues such as my adobe flash doesn't work any more and the firefox constantly crashes. I've recently noticed I can not get onto some secure sites, such as online banking. Why is this happening? what can I do to remedy the problem? | 16:42 |
| holstein | shery: i would first make sure you are up to date with upgrades | 16:42 |
| holstein | shery: i would try the chrome browser as a troubleshooting step if you are on a 32bit OS | 16:43 |
| shery | I get upgrades regularly. | 16:43 |
| shery | I have the chrome browser which crashes too. | 16:43 |
| holstein | crashes in what way? | 16:46 |
| shery | a box will pop up and it says the firefox has crashed | 16:47 |
| holstein | shery: not while you are running chrome i doubt.. what crashes chrome? hav you tried as a different user? is it always flash? | 16:48 |
| shery | while I'm working in chrome it'll just crash. Sometimes I'll have 2 tabs open but its normally just one tab and it will crash. I don't understand why it does that. Chrome will shut down and then a box will pop up and say it has crashed | 16:50 |
| shery | before I upgraded, firefox, chrome, & my adobe flash used to work. I don't understand why it stopped. | 16:50 |
| holstein | shery: before you upgraded from what to 12.04? 32 or 64bit? is it always flash that crashes it? | 16:52 |
| holstein | shery: have you tried as a new user? | 16:52 |
| shery | It was a lot of upgrades w/in a 2 month period. I went from 8.0 to 11.? to 12.04. It is 32bit. Flash always crashes. It has gotten to the point where it doesn't even respond. | 16:54 |
| shery | I haven't tried logging in as a new user. Logging in as a new user would cause it work? I'm confused? | 16:55 |
| holstein | shery: trying as a new user would take your configuration out of the equation | 16:56 |
| shery | Oh..okay | 16:57 |
| shery | If that doesn't work, what would be my next option? | 16:58 |
| holstein | shery: making sure you are up to date | 16:58 |
| holstein | also, a fresh install... i never bother with the upgrades, though you might be just fine | 16:59 |
| holstein | i would just get on 12.04 and not upgrade til the next LTS | 16:59 |
| shery | Ok. Should I reboot before logging in as a new user or just log in as a new user? | 16:59 |
| holstein | shery: try bot | 16:59 |
| holstein | both* | 16:59 |
| shery | what is LTS? | 16:59 |
| holstein | shery: you are in a troubleshooting period.. you'll need to try some things | 16:59 |
| holstein | shery: lts is long term support | 16:59 |
| holstein | you likely went from 8.04 to 10.04 to 12.04 | 17:00 |
| shery | ok..That sounds about right. | 17:00 |
| holstein | you should be able to login as the user and try chrome | 17:00 |
| shery | I just remember there was a massive amount of upgrading. | 17:00 |
| holstein | shery: i would try an ubuntu 1204 live CD.. i would install chrome there | 17:01 |
| holstein | shery: yup.. i *never* upgrade... only to test that it is working | 17:01 |
| holstein | shery: best case, you spend 7 or 8 hours and hopefully all is well | 17:01 |
| holstein | shery: a fresh installation takes about 10 minutes now a days | 17:01 |
| shery | where would I go to get 12.04 live cd? | 17:02 |
| shery | Is it a bad thing to upgrade? | 17:02 |
| holstein | shery: there are no bad things.. just more or less appropriate | 17:02 |
| holstein | it takes 8 hours to upgrade and 10 minutes to do a fresh install.. i just do what i consider easiest.. its up to you do make those desicions | 17:03 |
| holstein | http://www.ubuntu.com/download is where i would download a 32bit live CD | 17:04 |
| shery | :-) Thanks so much for your info. I hope everything works out. I'm still pretty new at this. | 17:04 |
