hatchetjack, solved it. The magic "refresh firefox" button in help solved the issue
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:46:14
hateball, *
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:46:18
still dunno what was wrong
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:46:33
thanks anyway
hateball 2017-01-31 22:48:57
JennyBlueBird: something broken in your user config then I guess
Tahr-Poop 2017-01-31 22:49:04
JennyBlueBird, are you using ff 50 or 51?
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:49:12
oooooh, it's broken again
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:49:15
wonder what I changed
hateball 2017-01-31 22:49:42
JennyBlueBird: you left before I could reply, need to make sure you are using the right driver for your chipset. 340 is the last one for legacy chipsets
hateball 2017-01-31 22:49:54
hence being unable to boot with anything more recent
Tahr-Poop 2017-01-31 22:51:45

ubottu 2017-01-31 22:51:46
Launchpad bug 1659922 in firefox (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #1643200 Firefox 51.0.1 does not display pages/shows blank pages." [Critical,Triaged]
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:52:05
nope, my bad
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:52:14
even a fresh firefox with everything reset fails
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:52:26
hateball, how do I nuke my profile ?
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:54:03
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". <-- that cannot be good
hateball 2017-01-31 22:54:38
JennyBlueBird: you launch with "firefox --profilemanager"
hateball 2017-01-31 22:54:47
JennyBlueBird: that lets you create a brand new profile to test with
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:54:58
yea, I get gfx problems
hateball 2017-01-31 22:54:58
JennyBlueBird: otherwise the profile is stored in ~/.mozilla/firefox
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:55:25
awwww, shucks, it's not just firefox
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:55:32
glxinfo moans too
Ben64 2017-01-31 22:55:51
time to install the proper graphics drivers
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:57:26
yea, thing is I think I have done that
hateball 2017-01-31 22:57:29
JennyBlueBird: what chipset do you have? "lspci -v"
Ben64 2017-01-31 22:57:41
JennyBlueBird: lshw -C VIDEO
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:58:30
It's a GTX 760
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:58:34
but the thing is
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:58:37
it worked fine
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:58:53
and now it does not :S
hateball 2017-01-31 22:59:19
JennyBlueBird: you dont want 340 for that card
hateball 2017-01-31 22:59:27
JennyBlueBird: you will want at least 367
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:59:44
I justw ant it working
Ben64 2017-01-31 22:59:52
340 supports 760
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 22:59:54
it was working fine up until 5 minutes ago
Ben64 2017-01-31 23:00:03

JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 23:01:28
the proprietary driver widget gets stuck :/
Ben64 2017-01-31 23:01:29
looks like you're using no driver
Ben64 2017-01-31 23:02:13
JennyBlueBird: run this... "sudo apt-get install build-essential dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-headers-$(uname -r | sed s/-[a-z].*//g) linux-headers$(uname -r | sed s/^.*[0-9]\-/-/g)"
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 23:02:23

Whir 2017-01-31 23:03:27
Hello, I have an Edimax USB wlan adapter, and it does not work on system start-up, but I have to unplug and replug the device.
Whir 2017-01-31 23:04:01
the device ID is 7392:7622, r8712u the loaded kernel module
MacroMan 2017-01-31 23:09:40
I've seen `read -p $"Press [Enter]..."` as way to pause a bash script, but my script doesn't pause. I get `1: read: arg count` instead
MacroMan 2017-01-31 23:10:00
What am I doing wrong? Got it from this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/92802/what-is-the-linux-equivalent-to-dos-pause
Tahr-Poop 2017-01-31 23:10:06
Whir, in terminal run > lshw -class network | nc termbin.com 9999
alkisg 2017-01-31 23:10:36
MacroMan: what's the actual line you're trying to run?
Guest88331 2017-01-31 23:11:05
After starting my computer and before appearing de Ubuntu theme the screen is full of vertical colour lines. The system runs ok. Any help with the lines?
MacroMan 2017-01-31 23:11:30
alkisg, `read -p $"Press [Enter] to continue..."`
alkisg 2017-01-31 23:12:02
MacroMan: is your script running with bash? if so, it should work...
alkisg 2017-01-31 23:12:09
Do you have #!/bin/bash on top?
MacroMan 2017-01-31 23:12:52
alkisg, That did it, thanks
MacroMan 2017-01-31 23:13:00
I always forget about the hashbang

Haris 2017-01-31 23:13:53
I need http/ftp browsable repo for Ubuntu 14.04.2. Where can I find it ?
Haris 2017-01-31 23:14:01
I need individual pkgs for manual download
Ben64 2017-01-31 23:14:19

koen_ 2017-01-31 23:19:52
dd if=/dev/zero of =5.doc bs=1M count=10 what does the command do?
Tahr-Poop 2017-01-31 23:19:59
Whir, Can you please reboot your system without reinserting adapter and pastebin the output of lshw -c network and dmesg | grep usb commands?
Ben64 2017-01-31 23:20:29
koen_: fails because of the space after "of"
Whir 2017-01-31 23:20:56
Tahr-Poop: you mean reboot to the plugged in no Wifi state right?
EriC^^ 2017-01-31 23:21:23
koen_: it makes a file 10M in size full of zero's
Tahr-Poop 2017-01-31 23:21:49
Whir, yes
koen_ 2017-01-31 23:22:08
EriC^^: 10Mb in size?
EriC^^ 2017-01-31 23:22:32
koen_: well, 10MiB
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 23:23:21
hateball, Ben64 ok, so I managed to fix the graphics driver, glxinfo works now, but firefox still won't render stuff
Whir 2017-01-31 23:23:33
Tahr-Poop: roger, see you soon then
Ben64 2017-01-31 23:23:35
JennyBlueBird: pastebin lshw -C VIDEO
GNU_GRUB 2017-01-31 23:23:49
anybody got some Ubuntu tips & tricks?
koen_ 2017-01-31 23:24:10
EriC^^: why i am not able to find any zeros if i cat that file
Haris 2017-01-31 23:24:14
guys ? where can I find php5_5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.19_all.deb ?
EriC^^ 2017-01-31 23:24:24
koen_: it's not a string
koen_ 2017-01-31 23:24:33
then
EriC^^ 2017-01-31 23:24:39
koen_: it's a literal zero in hex
EriC^^ 2017-01-31 23:25:00
it's a hexadecimal "00"
koen_ 2017-01-31 23:25:21
but in that case do i see any special characters when i do a vi or cat?
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 23:25:32
Ben64, http://pastebin.com/fvhZtKd8
Ben64 2017-01-31 23:25:48
JennyBlueBird: great
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 23:26:04
Ben64, firefox is still broken though
EriC^^ 2017-01-31 23:26:06
koen_: try "hexdump -C file"
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 23:26:10
Ben64, get a blank white page
hateball 2017-01-31 23:26:14
JennyBlueBird: wont render regardless if you make a new profile with profilemanager?
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 23:26:25
Ben64, tried refreshing it to purge all addons, still fails
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 23:26:29
hateball, yea
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 23:26:54
hateball, if I refresh it from the troubleshooting page in help it renders until I start it anew, then it fails
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 23:27:07
hateball, so I am guessing the configuration is broken in some of my personal settings
koen_ 2017-01-31 23:27:10
EriC^^: oh cool
Zen 2017-01-31 23:27:33
koen_: 0x0 in the ascii table is the ascii character 'nul', will probably be rendered as ^@
Zen 2017-01-31 23:27:59
thats for vim btw, cat wont render anything

JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 23:30:29
hateball, yea, it works if I refresh firefox, then it fails again on next launch
hateball 2017-01-31 23:30:51
JennyBlueBird: I am not talking about refreshing your current profile, I asked if you tried creating a brand new one
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 23:31:06
hateball, I've tried both
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 23:31:55
yup , it fails still
hateball 2017-01-31 23:31:58
JennyBlueBird: and you are now using nvidia-340? or nvidia-367?
Haris 2017-01-31 23:32:00
hello ?
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 23:32:19
hateball, 340 , but that is almost certainly not the issue
JennyBlueBird 2017-01-31 23:32:33
hateball, like I said if I refresh firefox it works, until I start it again
hateball 2017-01-31 23:32:35
Do as you like, I'd upgrade to 367 first
Tahr-Poop 2017-01-31 23:34:37
Whir, so driver is loaded but it looks like theres something problem with network manager
Whir 2017-01-31 23:34:39
Tahr-Poop: I see that it is only disables
Whir 2017-01-31 23:34:45
Tahr-Poop: yep
Whir 2017-01-31 23:34:57
I can do an iwlist scan
Whir 2017-01-31 23:35:14

Hi, the redis-server package contains redis-sentinel binary, but there is no systemd unit for it, is it expected for the user to create it?
ren0v0 2017-01-31 23:41:40
I ask because i found this issue and it seems in debian it was split out? https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775414
ubottu 2017-01-31 23:41:41

Whir 2017-01-31 23:42:11
Tahr-Poop: will do a reboot
Haris 2017-01-31 23:43:53
how to upgrade php5 pkgs on 14.04.2 without performing dist-upgrade ?
isabel_ 2017-01-31 23:44:09
hi
ppf 2017-01-31 23:44:14
Haris: install it
Haris 2017-01-31 23:44:24
-> manually
Zen 2017-01-31 23:44:29
ren0v0: seems like debian is silly in assuming that all services should automatically start
ppf 2017-01-31 23:44:33
Haris: ?
Haris 2017-01-31 23:44:35
how to install it ?
Haris 2017-01-31 23:44:44
apt-get install pkg name ?
ppf 2017-01-31 23:44:52
yes
Haris 2017-01-31 23:44:55
