Thank you very much for talking to me and trying to help me. [04:19] 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] manually that is [04:20] but I must not have kept up with it because there were 3 locations I knew about at the time [04:20] It was suggested that this path be made: usr/lib/flash-plugin === Jacky_ is now known as zz_Jacky_ [04:21] Yeah, that's pretty much why it's best to update from repos. You should/can try sudo updatedb && locate libflashplayer [04:22] 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] And the same is true if it is put into this path: usr/lib/firefox-addons [04:23] Also libflashplayer will work under the path: usr/lib/mozilla [04:24] but for me it doesn't work under there 2 paths: usr/lib/mozilla-firefox and usr/lib/adobe-flash [04:24] I meant these paths not there paths [04:25] Anyways, so I added up the total possible paths and there are six paths, no wonder I am confused [04:26] 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 [04:27] 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] 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? [04:28] 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] Please answer his question [04:28] I will copy your commands to try sometime [04:29] 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] nope. made sure of that [04:30] Also that the correct username is selected on login screen. [04:30] Could look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword as well. [04:31] made sure of that too [04:31] I installe over it " erased" did another fresh install [04:32] 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] and used encryption this time === yeehi1 is now known as yeehi [05:16] OK, so here's what I think [05:17] I am not sure about all this regarding Ubuntu 12 [05:17] But for me Ubuntu 10.04 flash 10.3 or it 10.2 is what works not flash 11.2 [05:19] 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] ubuntu 12.04? [05:19] usr/lib/firefox/plugins and or usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [05:20] Ubuntu 10.04 [05:20] 11.2? [05:20] 11.2 doesn't work for me [05:20] ok.. flash 11.2.. gotcha [05:20] r4y: for you? [05:20] r4y: Alrighty, what about linking from one location to the other, so if there are updates, you just replace one file? [05:20] flash 10 works [05:21] I am not sure about linking, it's not something I've got into all that much [05:22] Alrighty, well good that you got it. [05:22] 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 [05:24] 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] r4y: sure.. but that "someone" is adobe, and the wont [05:25] I guess it doesn't matter since a lot of Ubuntu users have moved on to Ubuntu 12 so [05:25] r4y: i use chrome, since the bundled flash in 32bit seems to work a bit better [05:25] I think you are right they want people to be up to date with adobe flash [05:25] Indeed, security reasons. [05:27] O well [05:29] Well, that's all I can think to say about. Sorry for all the trouble and thank you for listening and being kind. [05:38] Thank you both again for being cool [05:40] Heh, you're welcome, but didn't actually really help with your flash issue. :P [05:40] 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 [05:42] CPU? Does it not support PAE? [05:42] grep pae /proc/cpuinfo [05:42] 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] I don't know [05:43] Aha, alrighty. [05:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1599518/ [05:44] It's an emachines computer [05:45] The graphics card is built into the motherboard and doesn't have a PCIe slot like my other motherboard has [05:45] Just saying with regard to not being able to use the graphics card from that computer [05:46] Because of the program called Test drive an Ubuntu ISO [05:47] Cool, at least the newer kernels will work. :) [05:48] I tried virtualBox OSE, but I remember using VMWare before with success, but I think I had to signup to use VMWare [05:49] Take care, bye [05:51] 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. === zz_Jacky_ is now known as jackyalcine === jackyalcine is now known as Jacky_ [05:53] 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] Well, anyways, take care and thank you for the input [06:20] 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] ? [06:20] r4y: you got it working now? [06:20] Yes [06:21] r4y: so, everyting is fine, then? [06:21] Ubuntu restricted extras is installed but nothing related to flash is installed otherwise other then flash 10.3 which I manually installed [06:21] Yep, all is working now [06:25] how can i get my wireless card working on ubuntu 12.1 [06:26] losticeberg: 12.10 [06:26] !broadcom [06:26] yes [06:26] !wifi [06:26] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [06:26] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:26] losticeberg: really depends on what you got [06:27] losticeberg: i would just wire up to internet, and see if you get a notification about a restricted or extra driver [06:27] i have a dell inspion 6000 ive 2 diffrent inturnal cards [06:27] losticeberg: if not, then just follow the guides above... the top on is for broadcom [06:27] losticeberg: the model of the laptop wont help [06:28] losticeberg: its all about the chipset.. the links above show how to determine what you have and what you need [06:29] thankyou that may actually help === Jacky_ is now known as zz_Jacky_ [10:08] my synaptic package manager language changed to chinese.how can i fix it?

[19:09] Pretty Good Privacy is what it stands for, GNU/Privacy Guard is the opensource version, IIRC. [19:09] !gpg [19:09] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [19:10] Unit193: thanks [19:13] 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 [19:14] I'd say so, if that's what the interface is. [19:14] * Unit193 heads of to clear drive of snow. [19:14] Unit193: to be able to register bugs, it is required you have a GPG key on your LP account. This was news to me!

[22:52] Can anyone help install problems with Ubuntu 12.10? [22:53] Ubuntu 12. [22:54] what is the problem? [22:55] Ubuntu 12.10 doesn't complete the full installation from a burned ISO DVD disk while retrieving the language pack. [22:55] hmm not sure what to say atm [22:56] i just installed a 12.10 copy myself but can see what i canhelp with [22:56] but i was installing to a virtual comp not a regular one [22:56] yea, I've been checking the forums. I saw some thing about the splash screen while install causing the problem. [22:57] there might have been an error on the disc in that section [22:57] I'm using an old Compaq nx9010 laptop [22:57] did you select to update while installing? [22:58] I used the check disk feature with Ubuntu before the install, and I checked the hard drive through bios. Everything checked out OK. [22:59] in the setup did you select to update? and are you connected to the net on that laptop? [23:00] Yes, I choose the update option first, than without, with complete erase for both, with password..nothing works. [23:00] I'm connected online [23:00] hmm [23:01] im sure there are others here that could help alot more than me but i'll see what i can do [23:01] can you try the "try ubuntu" option and see if that will work? [23:02] not install to disc [23:02] but just try [23:02] you should be able to install after if it will get in on the try option [23:03] I did try first, than install, but I keep ending up with an error page, with my cursor that continues to spin [23:04] so it does the same with both try and install? [23:04] yes [23:06] the files on the disk are situated the way the Ubuntu website suggest, so I believe the DVD is correctly burned. [23:07] im really not to sure what else is causing the issue [23:08] 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] 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] not that i am aware of [23:09] I don't know. [23:13] thanks for your help [23:14] sorry i could not help much more [23:16] thanks anyway, glad it was able to work you...I'll get it envetually === Frim_Fram is now known as Frim [23:19] Ubuntu 12.10 doesn't complete the full installation from a burned ISO DVD disk while retrieving the language pack.
