It works )) [09:11] viewer|21592: great :) [10:36] register mdsmedia [10:40] join #nightlife [11:32] CliffordTheBigRedDoggie was removed by: CliffordTheBigRedDoggie === lethu_ is now known as lethu [12:29] Hiyas all [13:19] Good afternoon! I'm working with a gentleman whose pc I've just upgraded to Kubuntu 16.04 LTS. We have a problem - we're trying to get flashplayer to install, and it doesn't seem to have an "installation candidate". [13:19] I've tried googling to find an answer, but the only answers I can find involve updating apt and trying to install it again. Anyone else got any ideas please? [13:25] BrokenNeckTech, which browser do you want to use [13:25] ? [13:28] Hi BluesKaj - We're looking to use firefox [13:31] bro [13:32] Still here :) [13:32] BrokenNeckTech, install the flashpugin-installer, not the player [13:32] The flashplugin-installer is installed [13:33] But it's not installing anything and I can't get it to actually *do* anything [13:33] ok , so what issues do you have on websites [13:33] Missing items, websites telling us we need to install flash, etc [13:34] Can't play Bejeweled Blitz on facebook and so on [13:34] it doesn't install anyrthing the name is misleading, id it's installed so is flash [13:34] if=if [13:34] Hm. So why isn't flash working? [13:35] some sites use old flash versions that don't play on linux , I've encountered those myself [13:35] Firefox is giving no indication in the add-on's manager that flash is there [13:35] not many IME tho [13:36] Would it be wise to uninstall the package and try again? [13:37] did you type flash in the add ons search ? [13:37] yep [13:37] nothing [13:37] wow , I get all kinds of flash options [13:38] ok , have you updated and upgrade the OS sinc einstallation ? [13:38] I get things to install for downloading flash videos and stuff, like ripping from Youtube, but that's it [13:38] Yep, and that's finished [13:39] I'm having to fix my mind, I'm an old linux user, but I last used Kubuntu back at 12.04... things are still a bit rusty here! [13:43] BrokenNeckTech, ok ,check /usr/lib/mozilla for flashplugin, just to make sure it's there [13:45] click on plugins, there should be flashplugin-alternative.so installed [13:46] Sorry about that Blueskaj. I lost connection [13:47] We're back on with flash. I removed and reinstalled the flashplugin-installer, it must have broken during the first run, because flash now appears in the add ons manager [13:48] Sorry about leading you up the garden path, but everything looks good now. I'll try to do a couple of websites and see how we go. [13:48] BrokenNeckTech, justb to be sure look in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins for flashplugin-alternative.so [13:49] ok mate hang on a sec :) [13:50] but flash is such a pita, can't wait for HTML5 to be fully adopted [13:51] yep, it's there as a symlink to /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin [13:51] cool, ok think you should be fine now [13:52] Thanks for the help, i've still got some other bits to finish so i better get on [13:52] If I need anything else i can come back [13:53] see ya [13:53] sure , we'll be here [14:16] So uh, my taskbar's disappeared after logging in, anyone know how to get it back? [14:16] I think I'm on 16.04, not sure how to doublecheck that === Haudegen is now known as Guest38464 === Zren_ is now known as Zren [14:41] Howdy BluesKaj [14:41] hey hazamonzo === Guest38464 is now known as Haudegen [17:48] HI, how can I get SVG preview working, particularly Konqueror which stays my favourite. I run Kubuntu 16.04. Many thanks. === Zren_ is now known as Zren [19:32] Hi [19:32] I need some help with dolphin not recognizing certain characters in file names? [19:34] pidde, which characters? [19:34] Specifically å,ö and ä [19:38] swedish alphabet characters I bet, perhaps #ubuntu-se can help, pidde [19:38] They're swedish indeed [19:38] I'll try that channel [19:38] goo [19:38] d [19:38] :-) === DiggityRoey is now known as Roey [20:26] BluesKaj do you have any other ideas? There's no answer in ubuntu-se... [20:28] heya :) I'm trying to upgrade to kubuntu 16.10, but when I run do-release-upgrade -d it says "no new release found" what am i supposed to do? [20:30] jcgs, set your update manager to 'normal' instead of 'LTS only' [20:30] updates/upgrades [20:31] got it [20:31] /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [20:32] i would have thought just not running the program was safer than having an awkward file [20:32] or a command line option [20:33] if i do an "ls" in the directory the file names are missing åäö [20:34] but things like vlc can still display and open the files just fine [20:34] jcgs, if you set the update manager to normal run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade to upgrade you packages before running do-release-upgrade [20:56] Solved! [20:56] By changing .kde/env/setlocale.sh [20:56] And then locale-gen sv_SE [20:59] heh, I thought your locaqle was already set to se [20:59] I thought so too until I checked that file :P [21:01] my first language was swedish 'til we moved to Canada when I was a 4 yr old ..I'm a finnish-swede like linus :-) [21:02] like linus was [21:03] now a proud Canadian, especially after what happened in the US election [21:05] anyway it's time to close up here [21:18] Interesting :) === me is now known as Guest98665 === me is now known as Guest52465
