jnewt_ 2017-01-25 16:54:30

Etothetaui 2017-01-25 17:08:26
when I do "scrot /Pictures/Screenshots" it says saving to file failed
Etothetaui 2017-01-25 17:08:44
I want to have my screenshot be saved in a folder other than ~
jnewt_ 2017-01-25 17:13:38
midori and google chrome work fine. just firefox is busted
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 17:14:23
jnewt_, purge it completely, reinstall. make sure you remove the .config from /home
thickness 2017-01-25 17:15:17
Looking for hacker
Etothetaui 2017-01-25 17:16:02
Is there a channel for noobs, because I can't figure this out but I feel liek it's a dumb question
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 17:16:04
thickness, look somewhere. not in this channel
Etothetaui 2017-01-25 17:16:10
*like
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 17:16:18
Etothetaui, man scrot will tell you quite a bit
jnewt_ 2017-01-25 17:17:22
cfhowlett, did purge, removed all files from ~/.mozilla, install, start, same error
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 17:17:52
jnewt_, sounds like a chat with the mozilla firefox channel might be in order.
Etothetaui 2017-01-25 17:18:48
cools
Tabascomang2 2017-01-25 17:24:32
I got banned by fail2ban, I removed the ban from iptables. Restarted sshd, fail2ban and firewalld. Also rebooted computer, checked iptables. My IP is not in the reject of any sort. And yet I still get connection timed out with putty.
jim460 2017-01-25 17:26:10
I'm getting a "System Error" box at startup with a wizard asking if I'd like to submit the report. How do I find out what the error is and what to do?
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 17:29:47
.......... say "yes" to the report?
wedgie 2017-01-25 17:30:06
Tabascomang2: fail2ban can be set up to use hosts.deny... but in any case maybe a better question for #fail2ban
jim460 2017-01-25 17:30:21
cfhowlett, But the message is displayed every time I restart
jim460 2017-01-25 17:30:40
cfhowlett, I'm trying to figure out what the problem is so I can correct it.
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 17:30:47
because reporting the issue doesn't mean fixed issue. see your dmesg output
jim460 2017-01-25 17:31:19
k checking dmesg
Tabascomang2 2017-01-25 17:32:27
I've tried that channel but there's been no response for like 40 minutes now. :(
Tabascomang2 2017-01-25 17:32:46
I've checked the hosts.deny too just to be sure, nothing in there too.
jim460 2017-01-25 17:33:05
cfhowlett, dear god this is a lot of output. Is there anything I can grep to get the more serious errrors?
kang00 2017-01-25 17:33:11
Bhoj hi
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 17:33:35
jim460, try tail dmesg for the last part and see if any errors jump out.
jim460 2017-01-25 17:34:16
cfhowlett, Nothing stands out.
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 17:34:47
I think error reporting is handled by apport but I don't know how to read that output.
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 17:34:50
someone else will
jim460 2017-01-25 17:34:52
cfhowlett, Another problem is when I print no matter which program everything is scaled to the corner...The scale settings are at 100% and the print preview looks fine
WormFood 2017-01-25 17:36:30
Why is multiarch broken on a fresh install of 16.04? I can install no i386 packages, because every i386 package conflicts with the amd64 packages already installed, such as libc6.
jim460 2017-01-25 17:37:08
I'm going to try rebooting...just did some updates and hoping that will fix.
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 17:37:38
jim460, I'm on xubuntu so ... never had that issue and no experience using ubuntu with unity.
WormFood 2017-01-25 17:38:59
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiArch and this page is just wrong. I follow their instructions, and it simply doesn't work.
lotuspsychje 2017-01-25 17:39:08
WormFood: have you messed with ppa's of any kind?
WormFood 2017-01-25 17:39:20
no lotuspsychje
WormFood 2017-01-25 17:39:23
it's a fresh install
lotuspsychje 2017-01-25 17:40:38
WormFood: can you tell us the whole story? whats your endgoal with the libs?
WormFood 2017-01-25 17:41:16
My goal is to be able install i386 packages, because they don't release 64-bit packages for the software I need to use, like teamviewer for example.
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 17:42:34
WormFood, i386 is a dying platform. plan ahead.
lotuspsychje 2017-01-25 17:42:53
WormFood: ive installed teamviewer on 64bit without issues
WormFood 2017-01-25 17:43:25
cfhowlett, what the hell? Do you honestly think I want to use 32-bit packages? I'm forced to use this garbage, because they don't care about Linux, and don't release 64-bit versions of the software I need.
lotuspsychje 2017-01-25 17:43:56
WormFood: https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/previous-versions/
lotuspsychje 2017-01-25 17:44:14
WormFood: teamviewer has multiarch
cfhowlett 2017-01-25 17:44:36
my gosh, that looks like 64 bit w/o multiarch
WormFood 2017-01-25 17:44:41
lotuspsychje, that isn't really helpful. I'm not a Linux noob. The problem is multiarch is busted, and I don't know what to do to fix it. The ubuntu webpages on the subject are simply wrong. I do what they say, and I get errors.
