| dgroos | Good Morning! | 15:13 |
|---|---|---|
| dgroos | Anyone know how to install Java JRE in localapps so i can run programs based on Jave as localapp? | 15:14 |
| dgroos | Also, I need to install java firefox plugin in localapps. | 15:14 |
| dgroos | I've gotten nothing useful in an hours worth of googling... | 15:16 |
| highvoltage | hi dgroos | 15:41 |
| highvoltage | dgroos: I think you'll have to install firefox and the java plugin as localapps and then run firefox as a localapp | 15:41 |
| dgroos | Hi highvoltage! | 15:41 |
| dgroos | OK--I've got firefox installed as localapp--not seen instructions on how to install plugins to localapps... | 15:42 |
| dgroos | Also... | 15:42 |
| dgroos | are you saying that JRE won't work in localapp? | 15:42 |
| highvoltage | dgroos: ok, I think you'll just have to install the java plugin in the ltsp chroot then | 15:43 |
| highvoltage | dgroos: not 100% sure that it will work, but it should | 15:43 |
| dgroos | I'm all eyes ;) | 15:43 |
| dgroos | To install a java plugin, all I have to do is: sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get install the name of plugin? I'll try it! | 15:48 |
| dgroos | I couldn't find how to install a downloaded file (ie the JRE) into a local app. | 15:49 |
| dgroos | highvoltage: pretty quickly I was able to install the plugins but got this message--been getting it since yesterday--and can't seem to find a solution w/google. Not even sure if it's a problem: | 16:31 |
| dgroos | Errors were encountered while processing: | 16:31 |
| dgroos | /var/cache/apt/archives/hal_0.5.12~rc1+git20090403-0ubuntu1_i386.debE: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 16:31 |
| highvoltage | dgroos: what follows that? | 16:32 |
| dgroos | highvoltage: the regular prompt line. | 16:32 |
| highvoltage | ah, hal might be unhappy because proc isn't mounted | 16:33 |
| highvoltage | before entering the chroot, do a mount --bind /proc proc | 16:34 |
| highvoltage | and try installing again | 16:34 |
| dgroos | highvoltage: Thanks, I'll try... | 16:35 |
| dgroos | highvoltage: so I entered "bind /proc proc" at the prompt and hit enter. | 16:37 |
| dgroos | then I re-ran the previous command and got the same error. | 16:38 |
| highvoltage | dgroos: I remember having problems with hal inside a chroot before, but I remember seeing an error message that helped me figure it out | 16:42 |
| highvoltage | dgroos: sure there was no hal error message before that dpkg error message? | 16:42 |
| dgroos | highvoltage: yes there was--I posted it here...http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/209086/ | 16:45 |
| highvoltage | ah now I remember | 16:47 |
| highvoltage | you have to do a mount --bind /dev dev | 16:47 |
| highvoltage | and then a mount --bind /dev/pts dev/pts | 16:47 |
| highvoltage | remember to unmount then again before doing the image rebuild | 16:47 |
| highvoltage | *them | 16:47 |
| dgroos | highvoltage: I'll try all this. | 16:49 |
| dgroos | hmmm... root@gcos2:/home/dgroos# mount --bind /dev dev | 16:54 |
| dgroos | mount: mount point dev does not exist | 16:54 |
| dgroos | is this related to the previous "bind /proc proc" no idea what that did. | 16:55 |
| dgroos | so... I've been googling the problem "mount: mount point dev does not exist" and also to figure out what the, "bind /proc proc". I'm not getting anywhere--further help is appreciated... | 17:20 |

| dgroos | I've entered the command: sudo mount --bind /dev dev | 22:33 |
| dgroos | and gotten this printout: "mount: mount point dev does not exist" Anyone know what this means and what I need to do to mount it? | 22:34 |
| Svenstaro | dgroos, do "ls -lha|grep dev" and post the output | 22:38 |
| Svenstaro | apart from that, you probably shouldn't be doing what you are trying to do | 22:38 |
| dgroos | The output was... nothing--no text | 22:39 |
| Svenstaro | then theres no folder dev in your current folder which is right | 22:39 |
| Svenstaro | you are trying to bind /dev to a non-existing folder ./dev | 22:40 |
| dgroos | Svenstaro: I'm trying to solve an issue... | 22:40 |
| Svenstaro | binding /dev is generally not a good idea, what are you exactly trying to do? | 22:40 |
| dgroos | Here's how I typed it up earlier: | 22:41 |
| dgroos | dgroos: Errors were encountered while processing: | 22:41 |
| dgroos | [10:31am] dgroos: /var/cache/apt/archives/hal_0.5.12~rc1+git20090403-0ubuntu1_i386.debE: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 22:41 |
| Svenstaro | Oh come on, how can you have so much trouble with apt-get :( | 22:42 |
| dgroos | Here is some more output from the problem: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/209086/ | 22:42 |
| Svenstaro | do apt-get clean and apt-get autoclean and repeat | 22:42 |
| Svenstaro | invoke-rc.d: initscript hal, action "stop" failed. | 22:43 |
| Svenstaro | invoke-rc.d: initscript hal, action "stop" failed. | 22:43 |
| Svenstaro | woops | 22:43 |
| Svenstaro | Anyway, what I just pasted is the critical part of the error. | 22:43 |
| Svenstaro | Can you kill X, switch to vt1 and stop hal manually? | 22:44 |
| dgroos | not sure where my X gun has gone... ;) | 22:44 |
| Svenstaro | try: /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 22:45 |
| dgroos | seriously, I can only guess at what you mean and don't know how to do it. | 22:45 |
| Svenstaro | but careful, it kills your session | 22:45 |
| Svenstaro | when in vt1, do /tc/init.d/hal stop | 22:45 |
| Svenstaro | and try the upgrade again | 22:45 |
| dgroos | OK--I'm working on NXclient, but will get off that and go right to the server... | 22:46 |
| dgroos | and how do I 'switch to vt1'? | 22:46 |
| Svenstaro | that's the blinking terminal thingie that comes up when you kill X | 22:47 |
| Svenstaro | this: /etc/init.d/gdm stop kills X | 22:47 |
| Svenstaro | so be careful not to have any work open | 22:47 |
| dgroos | right. | 22:47 |
| dgroos | Did so. It said, * Stopping GNOME Display Manager... [OK] | 22:49 |
| Svenstaro | Yeah, you should be dropped to a terminal now | 22:49 |
| dgroos | and then went back to the prompt. I thought it would kill the gui? | 22:50 |
| Svenstaro | Did it not? | 22:50 |
| dgroos | No | 22:50 |
| Svenstaro | Prompt? | 22:50 |
| dgroos | Everything looks the same as before I entered the command. | 22:51 |
| Svenstaro | sudo killall gdm | 22:52 |
| dgroos | hmmm.... I didn't use sudo... | 22:52 |
| Svenstaro | press ctrl+alt+f1 | 22:52 |
| Svenstaro | login as root | 22:52 |
| Svenstaro | do /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 22:52 |
| dgroos | I don't have root account set up--I typed root and my admin password but said login incorrect. | 22:53 |
| Svenstaro | well just login normally | 22:54 |
| dgroos | that is, I don't know root password... | 22:54 |
| Svenstaro | then type sudo -i | 22:54 |
| Svenstaro | and then do /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 22:54 |
| dgroos | In the terminal, right? how do I get out of the ctrl+alt+f1? | 22:55 |
| Svenstaro | you get back using ctrl+alt+f7 but you want to do the stuff I just told you in vt1 | 22:56 |
| dgroos | OK did and says, OK | 22:58 |
| Svenstaro | good, not stop hal likewise | 22:58 |
| Svenstaro | now* | 22:58 |
| dgroos | so... I type "hal" where I had previously typed "gdm" in the previous command? | 23:00 |
| dgroos | Oh I see above... | 23:00 |
| dgroos | I typed: /tc/init.d/hal stop and it says, "No such file or directory". | 23:02 |
| Svenstaro | Hang on, is that normal in Ubuntu? | 23:02 |
| Svenstaro | Can anybody else confirm? | 23:02 |
| Svenstaro | #ubuntu confirmed it | 23:04 |
| Svenstaro | You don't have that file and it's kind of bad | 23:04 |
| Svenstaro | It takes care of starting/stopping HAL which is important for periphal | 23:04 |
| dgroos | ls / reveals nothing called "tc" at root level | 23:04 |
| Svenstaro | peripherals* | 23:04 |
| Svenstaro | tc? | 23:04 |
| Svenstaro | huh | 23:04 |
| dgroos | member:identifier:svenstaro when in vt1, do /tc/init.d/hal stop | 23:05 |
| dgroos | did you not mean tc? | 23:05 |
| Svenstaro | I meant etc, of course /etc/init.d/hal stop | 23:06 |
| dgroos | :) got it! | 23:06 |
| Svenstaro | Now try upgrading | 23:06 |
| dgroos | Interesting! I updated and upgraded and it said 0000 on upgraded, newly installed, removed, not upgraded. This is good? | 23:09 |
| Svenstaro | 0000? | 23:10 |
| Svenstaro | That means it failed | 23:10 |
| Svenstaro | do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and post results | 23:10 |
| dgroos | Sorry. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove, 0 not upgraded | 23:11 |
| Svenstaro | Those are the results of | 23:13 |
| Svenstaro | do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and post results ? | 23:13 |
| dgroos | OK did it and said: Reading package lists... Done then it says... | 23:13 |
| dgroos | The program 'apt' can be found in the following packages: *openjdk-6-jdk * sun-java5-jdk * sun java6-jdk and then it says... | 23:14 |
| dgroos | Try: sudo apt-get install <select package> then... | 23:15 |
| Svenstaro | wait what | 23:15 |
| dgroos | -bash: apt: command not found | 23:15 |
| Svenstaro | you made a typo | 23:15 |
| Svenstaro | do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 23:15 |
| dgroos | OK... this time it said: "E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 permission denied) then on next line... | 23:17 |
| dgroos | E: Unable to lock the administration direcotry (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 23:18 |
| Svenstaro | well, ARE you root? | 23:18 |
| dgroos | I'm sudo... | 23:18 |
| Svenstaro | well delete the lock | 23:19 |
| Svenstaro | rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 23:19 |
| dgroos | Actually, I just sudo su so now I'm root. shall I repeat the update/upgrade? | 23:19 |
| Svenstaro | sudo su is not a good idea | 23:20 |
| Svenstaro | sudo -i is better | 23:20 |
| dgroos | I had tried that earlier and it didn't work--said didn't know the command i or something. | 23:21 |
| dgroos | Anyway, I did the sudo su thing, did update/upgrade and again said there was 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded... | 23:22 |
| Svenstaro | So there was nothing to upgrade. | 23:22 |
| dgroos | right... so it seems like the stuff you had me do earlier corrected things? I'll go back to the gui and try to carry on and see if I get the hal complaint again. right? | 23:23 |
| Svenstaro | Yeah | 23:24 |
| Svenstaro | Actually, better you reboot right now. | 23:24 |
| Svenstaro | Will fix things up faster. | 23:24 |
| dgroos | cool! | 23:24 |
| dgroos | Thanks for your help!!! And, I'm looking forward to our next edubuntu meeting where the issues you brought up in your last e-mail to the devel list. | 23:26 |
| dgroos | oops--...we can discuss... | 23:27 |
| dgroos | looks like I spoke too soon... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/209351/ | 23:36 |
| Svenstaro | duh. youve been doing that in the chroot all the time? | 23:36 |
| dgroos | ...though certainly thanks for your help. | 23:36 |
| Svenstaro | you kind of should have told me | 23:37 |
| dgroos | right. | 23:37 |
| dgroos | Indeed. | 23:37 |
| Svenstaro | Try this: sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 | 23:41 |
| Svenstaro | sudo -i | 23:41 |
| Svenstaro | apt-get upgrade | 23:41 |
| dgroos | did the first line and it put me in as root--skip the second line? | 23:42 |
| Svenstaro | yep | 23:43 |
| dgroos | same results as in pastebin, I believe. | 23:44 |
| Svenstaro | ok, still within the chroot, do /etc/init.d/hal stop | 23:44 |
| dgroos | ok did so--went right back to the prompt... | 23:45 |
| Svenstaro | Huh, what happened? | 23:46 |
| Svenstaro | Doing that command *within* the chroot should not do anything except give "hal stopped" or somethin | 23:46 |
| dgroos | I typed this: root@gcos2:~# /etc/init.d/hal stop | 23:47 |
| dgroos | And it said this: root@gcos2:~# | 23:47 |
| Svenstaro | Looks like it worked. | 23:48 |
| dgroos | OK did the upgrade--seems to be the same output. | 23:48 |
| Svenstaro | No idea, then. I suggest you google for "chroot hal upgrade" or something like that. | 23:49 |
| dgroos | I've been doing that and will continue--thanks so much for your effort and sorry I hadn't been explicit about working in the chroot. I've got 1 more thought, might be related... | 23:52 |
| dgroos | Starting yesterday, when I open up the system log viewer it started to say: | 23:53 |
| dgroos | test... | 23:54 |
| dgroos | hmmm... 2 entries went to etherspace... | 23:55 |
| dgroos | It said: /var/log/btmp You don't have enough permissions to read the file. | 23:55 |
| dgroos | This warning panel was strange. I just hit the Close button and the message panel went away, but I could see the logs anyway. | 23:57 |
| Svenstaro | You can't normally view system logs as a normal user. | 23:59 |
