| r4y | Unit193 I should recap what I think happened, but I guess I should install Ubuntu 12.04 before doing so but I want try the versions of Ubuntu I recently downloaded that I am still trying to upload | 04:16 |
|---|---|---|
| r4y | I did a lot of messing around with flash on Ubuntu 12.04 before coming here for help from you. Thank you very much for talking to me and trying to help me. | 04:17 |
| r4y | OK, so what I think happened was that I must have installed flash under one of these locations: usr/lib/firefox/plugins or usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 04:19 |
| r4y | manually that is | 04:19 |
| r4y | but I must not have kept up with it because there were 3 locations I knew about at the time | 04:20 |
| r4y | It was suggested that this path be made: usr/lib/flash-plugin | 04:20 |
| === Jacky_ is now known as zz_Jacky_ | ||
| Unit193 | Yeah, that's pretty much why it's best to update from repos. You should/can try sudo updatedb && locate libflashplayer | 04:21 |
| r4y | but what happens is after loading a video the file libflashplayer I am sure that it gets copied to usr/lib/firefox/plugins | 04:22 |
| r4y | And the same is true if it is put into this path: usr/lib/firefox-addons | 04:22 |
| r4y | Also libflashplayer will work under the path: usr/lib/mozilla | 04:23 |
| r4y | but for me it doesn't work under there 2 paths: usr/lib/mozilla-firefox and usr/lib/adobe-flash | 04:24 |
| r4y | I meant these paths not there paths | 04:24 |
| r4y | Anyways, so I added up the total possible paths and there are six paths, no wonder I am confused | 04:25 |
| r4y | And I am not sure I agree with what you just said, but I want to agree. I tried every package I could to make this work without messing with the filesystem but I had to step in and do install flash manually | 04:26 |
| r4y | My suggestion to anyone who has had the problems I had with not getting flash to work would be simular to what you said to do | 04:27 |
| solarbob | I did a fresh install of ubuntu 12.10 recently. 2 days later I could not get in as if my password was changed. what did I do wrong? | 04:27 |
| Unit193 | r4y: Did you try to locate all flash plugin files? Better command would be sudo updatedb && locate -e flashplugin -e libflash | grep so | 04:28 |
| r4y | Please answer his question | 04:28 |
| r4y | I will copy your commands to try sometime | 04:28 |
| Unit193 | solarbob: Welp, did you have caps lock? I would guess you made sure to type it right, and that no one else may have changed it? | 04:29 |
| solarbob | nope. made sure of that | 04:29 |
| Unit193 | Also that the correct username is selected on login screen. | 04:30 |
| Unit193 | Could look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword as well. | 04:30 |
| solarbob | made sure of that too | 04:31 |
| solarbob | I installe over it " erased" did another fresh install | 04:31 |
| r4y | I should go run some tests, I will be back, and I am sorry about what I said and am saying, thank you for the help Unit193 | 04:32 |
| solarbob | and used encryption this time | 04:32 |

| r4y | OK, so here's what I think | 05:16 |
| r4y | I am not sure about all this regarding Ubuntu 12 | 05:17 |
| r4y | But for me Ubuntu 10.04 flash 10.3 or it 10.2 is what works not flash 11.2 | 05:17 |
| r4y | and it has to be in one of these 2 paths out of 6 possibles paths because even though there are 4 paths out of 6 that will work 2 of those paths get the flash file copied to the one of the 2 other paths | 05:19 |
| holstein | ubuntu 12.04? | 05:19 |
| r4y | usr/lib/firefox/plugins and or usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 05:19 |
| r4y | Ubuntu 10.04 | 05:20 |
| holstein | 11.2? | 05:20 |
| r4y | 11.2 doesn't work for me | 05:20 |
| holstein | ok.. flash 11.2.. gotcha | 05:20 |
| holstein | r4y: for you? | 05:20 |
| Unit193 | r4y: Alrighty, what about linking from one location to the other, so if there are updates, you just replace one file? | 05:20 |
| r4y | flash 10 works | 05:20 |
| r4y | I am not sure about linking, it's not something I've got into all that much | 05:21 |
| Unit193 | Alrighty, well good that you got it. | 05:22 |
| r4y | I remember linking for something and having it not work in the long run but I am not a Linux guru and that was along time ago | 05:22 |
| r4y | I feel like someone needs to get this working right for Ubuntu 10.04 users. I mean I wonder how many Ubuntu 10.04 users know of this or don't have this problem or they don't know they have this problem with Ubuntu 10.04 | 05:24 |
| holstein | r4y: sure.. but that "someone" is adobe, and the wont | 05:24 |
| r4y | I guess it doesn't matter since a lot of Ubuntu users have moved on to Ubuntu 12 so | 05:25 |
| holstein | r4y: i use chrome, since the bundled flash in 32bit seems to work a bit better | 05:25 |
| r4y | I think you are right they want people to be up to date with adobe flash | 05:25 |
| Unit193 | Indeed, security reasons. | 05:25 |
| r4y | O well | 05:27 |
| r4y | Well, that's all I can think to say about. Sorry for all the trouble and thank you for listening and being kind. | 05:29 |
| r4y | Thank you both again for being cool | 05:38 |
| Unit193 | Heh, you're welcome, but didn't actually really help with your flash issue. :P | 05:40 |
| r4y | Take care and have a nice night. Also to Unity193 I have tried both theremixes of Ubuntu Gnome. One didn't work because of my cpu and the other didn't have what I wanted. I have kubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386, lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386, and xubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386 ready to be put onto a flash drive to try out | 05:40 |
| Unit193 | CPU? Does it not support PAE? | 05:42 |
| Unit193 | grep pae /proc/cpuinfo | 05:42 |
| r4y | Because of not having the hardware on this motherboard for 3d acceration I wasn't about to use one of the virtual programs, and another one I tried didn't work, but I think it was the one that didn't work with the cpu on this compute | 05:42 |
| r4y | I don't know | 05:42 |
| Unit193 | Aha, alrighty. | 05:43 |
| r4y | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1599518/ | 05:43 |
| r4y | It's an emachines computer | 05:44 |
| r4y | The graphics card is built into the motherboard and doesn't have a PCIe slot like my other motherboard has | 05:45 |
| r4y | Just saying with regard to not being able to use the graphics card from that computer | 05:45 |
| r4y | Because of the program called Test drive an Ubuntu ISO | 05:46 |
| Unit193 | Cool, at least the newer kernels will work. :) | 05:47 |
| r4y | I tried virtualBox OSE, but I remember using VMWare before with success, but I think I had to signup to use VMWare | 05:48 |
| r4y | Take care, bye | 05:49 |
| r4y | Ah, OK, sorry I wasn't sure what you meant, duh, I needed to think about what you said. Too much stress I guess. I recently pulled my lower back but I am better today then yesterday. | 05:51 |

| === jackyalcine is now known as Jacky_ | ||
| r4y | I've put too much abuse on my body over the years which is the problem, I have a know that will not go away but I think that knot is smaller then it used to be. | 05:53 |
| r4y | Well, anyways, take care and thank you for the input | 05:53 |
| r4y | One more thing. I had to un-install adobe-flashplugin in order for flash to work for me when using Ubuntu 10.04 | 06:20 |
| holstein | ? | 06:20 |
| holstein | r4y: you got it working now? | 06:20 |
| r4y | Yes | 06:20 |
| holstein | r4y: so, everyting is fine, then? | 06:21 |
| r4y | Ubuntu restricted extras is installed but nothing related to flash is installed otherwise other then flash 10.3 which I manually installed | 06:21 |
| r4y | Yep, all is working now | 06:21 |

| phillw | Hi, this a dumb n00b question, but why does launchpad refer to GPG keys as PGP? | 19:08 |
| Unit193 | Pretty Good Privacy is what it stands for, GNU/Privacy Guard is the opensource version, IIRC. | 19:09 |
| Unit193 | !gpg | 19:09 |
| ubot2 | gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts | 19:09 |
| phillw | Unit193: thanks | 19:10 |
| phillw | Unit193: so, for the purposes of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities/Classroom/Section2#Adding_your_GPG_key_to_your_Launchpad_account I need just tell them to click on the little yellow icon to the right of OpenPGP keys: Update OpenPGP keys | 19:13 |
| Unit193 | I'd say so, if that's what the interface is. | 19:14 |
| * Unit193 heads of to clear drive of snow. | 19:14 | |
| phillw | Unit193: to be able to register bugs, it is required you have a GPG key on your LP account. This was news to me! | 19:14 |
| phillw | we are snow free here now :) | 19:15 |

| Frim | Can anyone help install problems with Ubuntu 12.10? | 22:52 |
| Frim | Ubuntu 12. | 22:53 |
| wytsa | what is the problem? | 22:54 |
| Frim | Ubuntu 12.10 doesn't complete the full installation from a burned ISO DVD disk while retrieving the language pack. | 22:55 |
| wytsa | hmm not sure what to say atm | 22:55 |
| wytsa | i just installed a 12.10 copy myself but can see what i canhelp with | 22:56 |
| wytsa | but i was installing to a virtual comp not a regular one | 22:56 |
| Frim | yea, I've been checking the forums. I saw some thing about the splash screen while install causing the problem. | 22:56 |
| wytsa | there might have been an error on the disc in that section | 22:57 |
| Frim | I'm using an old Compaq nx9010 laptop | 22:57 |
| wytsa | did you select to update while installing? | 22:57 |
| Frim | I used the check disk feature with Ubuntu before the install, and I checked the hard drive through bios. Everything checked out OK. | 22:58 |
| wytsa | in the setup did you select to update? and are you connected to the net on that laptop? | 22:59 |
| Frim | Yes, I choose the update option first, than without, with complete erase for both, with password..nothing works. | 23:00 |
| Frim | I'm connected online | 23:00 |
| wytsa | hmm | 23:00 |
| wytsa | im sure there are others here that could help alot more than me but i'll see what i can do | 23:01 |
| wytsa | can you try the "try ubuntu" option and see if that will work? | 23:01 |
| wytsa | not install to disc | 23:02 |
| wytsa | but just try | 23:02 |
| wytsa | you should be able to install after if it will get in on the try option | 23:02 |
| Frim | I did try first, than install, but I keep ending up with an error page, with my cursor that continues to spin | 23:03 |
| wytsa | so it does the same with both try and install? | 23:04 |
| Frim | yes | 23:04 |
| Frim | the files on the disk are situated the way the Ubuntu website suggest, so I believe the DVD is correctly burned. | 23:06 |
| wytsa | im really not to sure what else is causing the issue | 23:07 |
| Frim | Just a thought, initially, when I downloaded 12.10, I choose not to donate, but then went back to donate than download the second time. Would that have had an affect on the download? | 23:08 |
| wytsa | but it would seem that ether the files on the disc are having an issue with being read or it is something else | 23:08 |
| wytsa | not that i am aware of | 23:08 |
| Frim | I don't know. | 23:09 |
| Frim | thanks for your help | 23:13 |
| wytsa | sorry i could not help much more | 23:14 |
| Frim_Fram | thanks anyway, glad it was able to work you...I'll get it envetually | 23:16 |
