[00:15] <SergioMeneses> ChaoticanarchyX, what package kind is it?
[07:11] <woodputerrepair> Anyone available to help with wireless usb network drivers?
[07:14] <woodputerrepair> anyone available??
[13:47] <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
[13:48] <geirha> In general, stuff under /var/lib should be left alone
[15:52] <holstein> anyone using laptop-mode ? some function keys stopped working.. the volume controls
[15:58] <holstein> i think i'll just do a hack-y workaround and remap some keyboard shortcuts
[16:42] <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
[16:43] <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.
[16:46] <holstein> crashes in what way?
[16:47] <shery> a box will pop up and it says the firefox has crashed
[16:48] <holstein> shery: not while you are running chrome i doubt.. what crashes chrome? hav you tried as a different user? is it always flash?
[16:50] <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.
[16:52] <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?
[16:54] <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.
[16:55] <shery> I haven't tried logging in as a new user. Logging in as a new user would cause it work? I'm confused?
[16:56] <holstein> shery: trying as a new user would take your configuration out of the equation
[16:57] <shery> Oh..okay
[16:58] <shery> If that doesn't work, what would be my next option?
[16:58] <holstein> shery: making sure you are up to date
[16:59] <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
[17:00] <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.
[17:01] <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
[17:02] <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
[17:03] <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
[17:04] <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.
