drizztzrevenge [n= .gatech.edu] has joined #ubuntu-classroom
12:09 jrib drizztzrevenge: I still have no clue what you did
12:09 drizztzrevenge heh okay
12:09 drizztzrevenge so i tried to change the root user directory to home/root using the users and groups gui component
12:09 drizztzrevenge and it looked like it worked
=== KennethP [n=kpo@80.167.165.222] has joined #ubuntu-classroom
12:10 drizztzrevenge but it didn't actually at the system level, my ubuntu login just thinks it did i think
12:10 drizztzrevenge but i dont have synaptic installed
12:10 drizztzrevenge so i dont know how to fix this
12:10 drizztzrevenge er wait excuse
12:10 jrib what user are you logging in as?
12:10 drizztzrevenge it will install
12:11 drizztzrevenge but it won't let me run any of its programs because it cant use /root to create its config place
12:11 drizztzrevenge my account
12:11 jrib what's the name?
12:11 jrib for simplicity's sake
12:11 drizztzrevenge rickjames
12:12 jrib alright, so you changed the home directory for rickjames to /root?
12:12 drizztzrevenge nope
12:12 drizztzrevenge i changed the directory for /root to /home/root -.-
12:12 jrib that doesn't make sense
12:12 drizztzrevenge i know
12:12 drizztzrevenge now i do anyway
12:12 drizztzrevenge but everytime i try to run synaptic it tells me it cant create a file in /home/root
12:13 drizztzrevenge which is its config file i assume
12:13 jrib ok, are you able to get a shell?
12:13 drizztzrevenge yeah, i use console
12:13 drizztzrevenge konsole
12:13 drizztzrevenge excuse me
12:14 jrib what is the output of this command: getent passwd rickjames
12:15 drizztzrevenge rickjames :1000:1000:RickJames,,,:/home/rickjames:/bin/bash
12:15 drizztzrevenge y?
12:16 jrib how about: getent passwd root
12:16 drizztzrevenge root:0:0:root:/home/root:/bin/bash
12:16 jrib ok, I see
12:16 drizztzrevenge yah
12:16 jrib it used to be /root
12:17 jrib why did you do this by the way?
12:17 drizztzrevenge uhm....because i am nub and was experimenting
12:17 drizztzrevenge i then read an article that basically said its impossible
12:17 drizztzrevenge :-/
12:18 drizztzrevenge i haven't really done anything to make my computer freak out in a couple days, i'm learning how to maintain this crazy system pretty well
12:19 jrib ah ok, well you should play in a virtual machine
12:19 drizztzrevenge yeah...i noticed...
12:19 jrib can you do gksudo gedit /etc/passwd ?
12:20 drizztzrevenge nope
12:20 drizztzrevenge (gedit:9232): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unable to create ~/.gnome2 directory: No such file or directory
12:20 drizztzrevenge Could not create per-user gnome configuration directory `/home/root/.gnome2/': No such file or directory
12:20 jrib ok
12:20 drizztzrevenge i'm sure you see the problem here then? lol
12:21 jrib try: sudo nano /etc/passwd
12:21 drizztzrevenge yeah it opened up soemthing
12:22 jrib alright, change the /home/root to /root
12:22 drizztzrevenge kay. how do i save it?
12:23 drizztzrevenge or do i just exit?
12:23 jrib ctrl-o to save
12:23 jrib ctrl-x to exit
12:23 jrib check for mistakes!
12:25 drizztzrevenge so it should say "root:0:0:root:0/root:/bin/bash" ?
12:25 drizztzrevenge er wait
12:25 drizztzrevenge so it should say "root:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash" ?
12:25 jrib yes
12:25 drizztzrevenge kay
12:25 drizztzrevenge now i should restart?
12:26 jrib I don't think you need to
12:26 drizztzrevenge cool thanks alot man
12:26 jrib might be a good idea to restart anyway though in case some stuff failed
12:26 drizztzrevenge yeah for sure, i' gonna
12:26 drizztzrevenge bye!
12:26 jrib bye

11:19 jrib you still have to finish adding the repository
11:19 jrib the instructions are in english if you scroll down
11:20 bolloxmcgee where is my sources.list?
11:21 jrib open them with this command: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
11:23 bolloxmcgee i think ive got it
11:23 bolloxmcgee i'll pastebin what i get in a second

11:35 bolloxmcgee should i just extract it all straight into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins?
11:35 jrib then extract flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins/
11:35 bolloxmcgee could i not just extract all the files to there?
11:36 jrib then you will get junk
11:36 bolloxmcgee kk
11:37 bolloxmcgee i tried extracting just flashplayer.xpt to the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins direcotry, but im told again i dont have permission
11:37 bolloxmcgee im using the GUI btw...

11:42 jrib do this: mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins
11:42 bolloxmcgee done
11:43 jrib try extracting again

11:44 jrib yes, to ~/.mozilla/plugins/
11:44 bolloxmcgee well its not
11:45 bolloxmcgee all thats in my home directory is
11:45 jrib go to view -> show hidden files
11:45 jrib anything that starts with a '.' is hidden
11:46 bolloxmcgee righty-o
11:46 bolloxmcgee there there
11:46 bolloxmcgee still all corrupted....
11:47 jrib what does "all corrupted" mean?
