| teli_ | I have no more background or icons and PC crashes as soon as I minimize firefox. on 17.04 | 08:46 |
| teli_ | I removed nautlius | 08:46 |
| ikonia | I wouldn't remove nautlius, but that shouldn't cause what you are seeing | 08:55 |
| teli_ | any advice? | 09:00 |
| ikonia | define "crash" | 09:06 |
| ikonia | look at the xorg logs and your session logs | 09:06 |
| ikonia | look at what video driver xorg is using on your system | 09:06 |

| Volkodav | Does anyone run any Brother MFC by any chance? I can't get my scanner to work on a fresh install. It works fine on another box that was upgraded. Zsane and simple scan do not detect a scanner - all drivers installed with no errors | 15:06 |
| Carly | Hi there hoping I'm in the right place | 15:28 |
| Carly | created a bootable drive to put and AMD 64 Ubuntu 16.04 on my computer and somehow it ended up just being the shell now all I have is a black screen with the command line that doesn't seem to like me very much and it definitely will not give me anything I can't do a sudo command because it keeps coming back with a failed attempt to fetch archives | 15:28 |

| clissold345 | 17.04 seems to have installed ok except that I cant open websites in firefox. I can connect to the router and I can ping. Eg ping 8.8.8.8. Is it a known problem? Can I fix it? | 22:35 |
| dbarton | clissold345: dig example.net works? | 22:35 |
| clissold345 | dbarton, no "connection timed out; no servers could be reached". | 22:36 |
| dbarton | clissold345: "dig example.net @8.8.8.8"? | 22:37 |
| dbarton | clissold345: as you might be able to ping 8.8.8.8, your network stack seems to be working (connectivity, routing, etc.)… I suppose you need to set a DNS server (e.g. 8.8.8.8 for Google) | 22:39 |
| clissold345 | dbarton, yes the second command does something: "...QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1 ...". | 22:42 |
| dbarton | clissold345 so your DNS settings are wrong… | 22:43 |
| clissold345 | dbarton, so how do I correct them? Can you give me a link to (simple if possible) instructions? | 22:45 |
| dbarton | clissold345, well I can tell you a config file (/etc/resolv.conf) as I'm a console guy, but I'm pretty sure Ubuntu wouldn't be happy about it… I've currently no Ubuntu GUI, so I can't give you any instructions. but try to configure your network settings and find something that's called "DNS server(s)" or "nameservers" and add 8.8.8.8 to it | 22:46 |
| dbarton | clissold345 there should be a settings GUI called "Network Connections", then you should be able to "Edit" your connection (wired or wireless) and add a DNS server in the "IPv4 Settings" tab… | 22:47 |
| dbarton | clissold345, http://www.tellypass.com/configure-ubuntu-dns.html | 22:47 |
| dbarton | clissold345 just use 8.8.8.8 instead of 85.13… | 22:48 |
| dbarton | clissold345 or use the DNS of your provider if you don't want google to have all your DNS lookups ;) | 22:48 |
| clissold345 | dbarton, thanks your help. I know almost nothing about DNS settings but your instructions sound do-able. Thanks. | 22:50 |
| dbarton | clissold345 np you're welcome! it's more or less a "phone book" for resolving names (aka hostnames e.g. ubuntu.com) into phone numbers (aka IP addresses e.g. 1.2.3.4) | 22:51 |
| clissold345 | dbarton, yes Edit Connections and "8.8.8.8" in the Additional DNS servers field has got firefox working. Many thanks! | 22:58 |
| dbarton | clissold345 glad I could help… happy browsing! | 22:59 |
