ActionParsnip: okay, no errors. Is Synaptic still broken, or is it now working?

Don: your best bet, if you can, is to reinstall and try again - if you have a thumbdrive, you can make a usb startup disk with the System->Administration menu in order to help bail you out of this type of situation - if you have any files yet to be backed up, you should be able to get them out of your ~/Desktop or wherever they are onto a thumbdrive

DasEi: Ok I put a DVD in the drive, do I now type: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cd ?

??

i have the correct permissions and i tried several bin files

eternaljoy: yes

SwiftIRC919: Read what ubottu told you

ActionParsnip: not having a package manager able to deal with flags, like gentoo's emerge does

`olly: read what ubottu told you.

ultra_violet: you need to make it executable

DasEi: it still says: mount: No medium found

i have been wondering this for a while now but why do i get files with ~ at the end?

ok

right...

DasEi: what now?

ActionParsnip I did

eternaljoy: do you use vlc-player ?

sav1o: gentoo is way more advanced than ubuntu, ubuntu is made easier for linux virgins

DasEi: yes

rww: lol well it works now....thanks a lot!!!! but how come??

eternaljoy: is a video dvd in the drive ?

ActionParsnip "chmod +x" right?

DasEi: yes a dvd movie

I am using Ubuntu on a laptop, ive dont the load error on the hard drive and it seems that its not that thats the problem, pidgin wont connect and will close, no firefox history, and media player closes randomly?? help please?

ultra_violet: what messages do you get when you run it? yes thats right

eternaljoy: start vlc ...

DasEi: it used to play on its own, but now it doesnt. about 3 days ago it stopped

think_linux: apt-get update downloads a list of packages from the Ubuntu servers. At some point, one of those lists got broken on your computer, and doing apt-get update fixed it :)

ultra_violet: can you give more details... what exactly are you doing? Give an example on pastebin

ultra_violet: you need to cd to the folder then use ./

ultra_violet: the ./ is imortant

my problem started when ubuntu was running slow, so i thought i would get rid of some of those i did not need, but after that , i had no usb mouse or keyboard control once it rebooted, can only get into terminal mode - and since im new, dont know the commands etc to back up my system , besides , i need to reinstall the usb and keybd drivers to get into the windows like interface

DasEi: Playback failure: DVDRead could not open the disk "/dev/scd0".

eternaljoy: media > open medium > scd0

eternaljoy: media > open medium > scd0
