[08:38] <Ozik> hi
[08:38] <Ozik> Ubuntu 10.04.01 LTS installed on RAID 0 via PCI card: works ok till shutdown -h. With GRUB legacy I have error 17, with GRUB 2 it keep restarting. recovery helps till shutdown
[08:45] <stlsaint> Ozik: you use shutdown -h <time>
[08:45] <stlsaint> like: shutdown -h
[08:45] <stlsaint> like: shutdown -h 1
[08:46] <Ozik> yes
[08:46] <Ozik> sudo shutdown -h +1, sudo shutdown -h now
[08:47] <Ozik> sudo shutdown now, or reboot doesn't make troubles
[08:47] <stlsaint> Ozik: seems google shows a couple fixes for that, possible error with raid also though
[08:48] <stlsaint> i must leave for a bit
[08:48] <stlsaint> brb
[08:49] <Ozik> ok, btw when tried install freeBSD computer did not seen OS (BIOS see's the matrix)
[09:24] <s-fox> Hello
[09:26] <bioterror> I will say hello to you, if you join #ubuntu-beginners-team, silver-fox ;)
[11:39] <Ozik> hi
[11:41] <akshat> hello Ozik
[11:42] <Ozik> Q: v10.04.1 works fine until shutdown -h, then can't boot -> GRUB Legacy error 17, or GRUB 2 countinous reset, rescue disk solves untill next shutdown
[11:42] <Ozik> installed on 160GB raid 0, bios see's the natrix
[11:43] <Ozik> * matrix
[11:52] <coalwater> Ozik,  u get grub error?
[11:53] <Ozik> with GRUB Legacy is 17, tried GRUB 2, no errors, when GRUB should work it's resetting
[11:53] <Ozik> but only after shutdown -h
[11:53] <coalwater> u have 2 grubs?
[11:53] <Ozik> or -P
[11:54] <coalwater> did u check the grub help page?
[11:54] <Ozik> no, GRUB 2 after format
[11:54] <coalwater> it had trouble shooting page/section i think
[11:54] <coalwater> !grub
[11:54] <ubot2> GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10)
[11:58] <coalwater> Ozik, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#line-572 check this part
[12:03] <Ozik> coalwater, I have no idea about that, btw with GRUB 2 there is no errors or console, just like hard reset :)
[12:05] <coalwater> u get a grub menu ? or does it reset before seeing the menu ?
[12:06] <Ozik> before
[12:06] <Ozik> with GRUB 1 there is error 15, no menu
[12:06] <Ozik> what;s curious freeBSD could not boot either
[12:09] <Ozik> and Ubuntu is alone, no Windows or gates
[12:12] <coalwater> Ozik, i think u could try reinstalling grub or something
[12:12] <coalwater> i don't know if its safe to have both grubs on 1 system
[12:13] <Ozik> reinstalling grub, reinstalling even Ubuntu
[12:13] <Ozik> no, there is one GRUB
[12:13] <Ozik> tried GRUB, when failed, I reformatted disks and installed Ubuntu again with GRUB 2
[12:19] <coalwater> that's strange
[12:21] <Ozik> I'm installing all once again thus time with legacy grub
[12:21] <Ozik> found smth but dunno if it work
[12:21] <Ozik> http://neildecapia.wordpress.com/2010/05/15/ubuntu-lucid-10-04-on-a-raid-0%C2%A0array/
[12:22] <coalwater> hm u said you had raid right?
[12:23] <coalwater> !raid
[12:23] <ubot2> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[12:23] <coalwater> there , try that
[12:24] <Ozik> hmmm that's software raid, I have hardware raid on PCI
[13:05] <Ozik> I have PCI silicon Raid controller, created Raid 0, ubuntu should see it as one disk right?
[13:10] <Ozik> coalwater: got solution
[13:10] <coalwater> hm, what did u do
[13:10] <Ozik> f..... dunno what happened, raid controller screwed snth
[13:10] <coalwater> anybody uses vnstat?
[13:11] <Abhijit> coalwater, yeah
[13:11] <Ozik> maked raid 0 again and ubuntu sees it as 1 disk
[13:11] <coalwater> Abhijit, mine doesn't update any thing, what am i missing
[13:11] <Abhijit> coalwater, are you running for first time?
[13:11] <coalwater> Abhijit,  yea, i added eth0, but im not sure what else i need to do
[13:12] <coalwater> Ozik, it's working now ?
[13:12] <Abhijit> coalwater, you need to create database
[13:12] <coalwater> Abhijit, i think i did that
[13:12] <coalwater> it gives stats ,but doesn't update
[13:12] <Abhijit> coalwater, how many hours passed since you have setup vnstat?
[13:12] <coalwater> since yesterday
[13:12] <coalwater> http://coalwater.dyndns.org:8080/vnstat/
[13:13] <Abhijit> coalwater, it is updating. that data seems ok? whats wrong?
[13:13] <Ozik> coalwater: dunno, but it's different now, so should, now sees ONE disk as RAID
[13:13] <coalwater> it only updated after i did a terminal command
[13:13] <Ozik> afk
[13:13] <coalwater> and btw, i downloaded like 2 torrents, ~1.5GB each
[13:13] <coalwater> it only says 44mb
[13:14] <Abhijit> oh
[13:14] <coalwater> some forum said i should add a cron job for update
[13:14] <coalwater> but i dont know what's the command
[13:14] <Abhijit> coalwater, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1221455
[13:14] <coalwater> is it -u
[13:14] <coalwater> or --sync
[13:14] <Abhijit> coalwater, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1393712
[13:15] <Abhijit> coalwater, no idea
[13:18] <coalwater> Abhijit, u didnt add any cron jobs?
[13:18] <Abhijit> coalwater, nope
[13:19] <Abhijit> coalwater, mine is working properly
[13:20] <Abhijit> coalwater, are you sure if eth0 is added to vnstat then you have downloaded all that data from eth0 only? and not by wlan0?
[13:20] <coalwater> do i need to reboot after installing?
[13:20] <coalwater> my pc doesnt use wireless
[13:20] <Abhijit> coalwater, i do not think reboot is requried. but you can give it a try
[13:20] <Abhijit> coalwater, do vnstat -w -i eth0
[13:21] <Abhijit> or -m whatever
[13:21] <coalwater> :D
[13:22] <coalwater> Abhijit, http://paste.ubuntu.com/638890/
[13:23] <Abhijit> :-o
[13:23] <Abhijit> omg!configfile!!
[13:23] <coalwater> ?
[13:23] <Abhijit> coalwater, no idea about that!
[13:23] <coalwater> /etc/vnstat.conf
[13:23] <Abhijit> coalwater, have you looked at the link i gave you above
[13:23] <coalwater> yea
[13:25] <coalwater> Abhijit, i see a vnstat -u updates the numbers
[13:25] <Abhijit> coalwater, i see. then set it as cron!!! :-p
[13:28] <coalwater> Abhijit, http://paste.ubuntu.com/638890/ see line 74 and going up
[13:29] <Abhijit> coalwater, i do not understand the config gile!
[13:29] <Abhijit> i mean i do not have that much expertise!!
[14:17] <coalwater> Abhijit, a 5 min cron job did the trick
[14:18] <Abhijit> coalwater, well done! :-)
[14:36] <Ozik> coalwater: now classic GRUB 2 installation problem, that is something normal :D
[14:44] <asd123eww> need help with xrdp
[14:47] <coalwater> asd123eww, hi
[14:48] <asd123eww> hi
[14:48] <coalwater> u want to set up an rdp server?
[14:48] <asd123eww> yes
[14:48] <asd123eww> I installed it
[14:48] <coalwater> ok
[14:48] <asd123eww> but it works only once
[14:48] <coalwater> like how ?
[14:48] <asd123eww> and i need to restart to get it working again
[14:48] <coalwater> i see
[14:49] <coalwater> i didn't use xrdp before, i use the default rdp server
[14:49] <asd123eww> what i need is to remote from a windows machine
[14:50] <asd123eww> xrdp is the one i know that can do that
[14:50] <coalwater> hm
[14:50] <coalwater> o wait
[14:50] <coalwater> ok sorry
[14:50] <coalwater> the default is vnc, u need the windows protocol, which is rdp
[14:55] <coalwater> asd123eww, did u try using vnc clients on windows?
[15:13] <asd123eww> no
[15:31] <Ozik> need help
[15:31] <Ozik> http://pastebin.com/64t2GeYS
[15:33] <holstein> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/mounting-error-%5Bsolved%5D-778191/ suggests mounting as ext4
[15:34] <holstein> Ozik: not sure about the rest of it though... whats going on? is this just a secondary drive you have added?
[15:35] <Ozik> can't check now but it should be ext4
[15:35] <Ozik> thats raid 0 :D
[15:36] <holstein> i think you'll just need to tackle these one at a time, and drill down... what prompted this issue?
[15:37] <Ozik> entering rescue mode, selecting roo partition
[15:37] <Ozik> root*
[15:38] <holstein> Ozik: thats what prompts the error?
[15:38] <Ozik> yes, tell's me that check logs and here it is
[15:39] <Ozik> grub 2 can't be installed on raid 0 by default
[15:39] <Ozik> so i need to do it manual
[15:40] <Ozik> can't cd /dev/mapper/*ff1
[15:41] <holstein> do any of these methods work?
[15:41] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling GRUB2
[15:42] <holstein> im unclear how you can get to rescue mode if grub is not installed
[15:43] <Ozik> from cd
[15:43] <holstein> Ozik: if entering rescue mode is kicking up these errors, i would not go that route
[15:43] <holstein> i would try installing grub using a different method
[15:44] <Ozik> I can't do any of it because until i mount disk i have built-in shell
[15:44] <Ozik> so no sudo and other
[15:44] <Ozik> there is nano, but I can't get to grub2 files
[15:45] <Ozik> holstein: check it out: http://neildecapia.wordpress.com/2010/05/15/ubuntu-lucid-10-04-on-a-raid-0%C2%A0array/
[15:46] <holstein> yeah, but that isnt working
[15:46] <holstein> and when you give that error message, it implies to me *nothing* about what the actual problem is
[15:47] <holstein> Ozik: maybe in the -server channel?
[15:47] <holstein> im sure you have read https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/advanced-installation.html
[15:49] <Ozik> screwed, http://paste.ubuntu.com/638935/
[15:53] <Ozik> adv-install won't help, it IS a hardware raid
[15:58] <Ozik> holstein: only partition 7 is not marked as ext4
[16:01] <holstein> Ozik: im not aware of your partitioning scheme, but i would try and stick to the issue at hand, getting a boot loader
[16:01] <holstein> maybe something other than grub?
[16:01]  * holstein is running out the door... good luck...
[16:02] <Ozik> I'm new in penguins worls, what loader?
[16:02] <holstein> ive used http://gag.sourceforge.net/ before
[16:03] <holstein> http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html is something you can try live
[16:03] <holstein> anyways... BBL
[16:04] <Ozik> thx
[19:01] <bobweaver> hi there is there any one here that knows about writing scripts ?
[19:03] <bobweaver> I am working on testing some tools with a distro and have found work around now I would like (i think) to write scripts to fix it by running that script is this the right way to think about this?
[19:04] <bobweaver> all of it is in bash
[19:22] <geirha> I know scripting, but I'm not sure I understand what you want to do.
[19:27] <bobweaver> Hi there geirha I want to make a script to remove some files then replace them
[19:30] <geirha> If you want to replace them, you don't need to remove them first, but go on.
[19:30] <kristian-aalborg> for serious... how do I make an archive of a dir, encrypt the archive and the file list
[19:31] <kristian-aalborg> must be in a common format (zip/ rar)
[19:31] <geirha> tar zcf foo.tar.gz the_dir/
[19:31] <bioterror> v is okay to add too
[19:31] <geirha> tar is much more common on linux
[19:31] <geirha> than zip and rar I mean.
[19:32] <bioterror> tar and gnuzip are default stuff
[19:32] <bioterror> gunzip I mean :D
[19:32] <bobweaver> so this would be my 1st script and I want to remove metasploite then just replace it the dev for blackbuntu only put on the small package
[19:32] <bobweaver> http://paste.ubuntu.com/639034/
[19:32] <kristian-aalborg> geirha, common for Win users, sorry
[19:33] <bobweaver> that is just a outline
[19:33] <geirha> zip -r foo.zip the_dir/
[19:33] <geirha> And what encryption is common for Win users?
[19:34] <bobweaver> what I want to know
[19:36] <geirha> bobweaver: Never use cd in a script without testing its exit status.
[19:36] <geirha> cd /pentest/explotis || exit
[19:37] <geirha> There, if cd should fail, the script will now exit instead of running rm in the wrong dir.
[19:37] <bobweaver> geirha, thanks like I said this is my firt one
[19:37] <bobweaver> geirha, thanks like I said this is my first one *
[19:39] <geirha> If you're interested in learning bash scripting, there's a very good beginners guide.
[19:39] <geirha> http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide
[19:40] <bobweaver> it just seems like fun
[19:41] <geirha> All other guides I've encountered are bad I'm afraid, they generally doesn't teach good practice and in many cases they're even plain wrong on certain subjects.
[19:42] <bobweaver> I know the lang I need to lean how to put pages together I know other langs also like html and web stuff so that is where my head is
[19:42] <bobweaver> dont know if that is the right place or not ?
[19:43] <bobweaver> is a good example blacklist.conf
[19:44] <geirha> That's a config file.
[19:48] <kristian-aalborg> geirha, sorry, I meant "put a password on" of course
[19:48]  * kristian-aalborg can't think today
[19:48] <geirha> Let me just read the manual for you... ah, -e
[19:49] <geirha> zip -e -r archivename.zip dir_to_archive/
[19:50] <bioterror> zip -9 -r fooo.zip whattozip
[19:50] <bobweaver> geirha, I know how to read also I was looking to see if that is how a page is put together there is a header and a body but no end ?
[19:51] <bobweaver> # comments things out I know all of this I just dont know how to put them together
[19:51] <bobweaver> lol
[19:51] <geirha> bobweaver: Page, are you talking about an html page?
[19:53] <bobweaver>   #!/usr/bin/env bash    that is the header right
[19:53] <bobweaver> then the syntax is the body ??
[19:54] <bobweaver> trying to put it together like a burger is that a good way to think about it
[19:55] <geirha> Yeah, that line, as the absolute first part of the script, tells linux that the file should be read and executed by bash.
[19:56] <bobweaver> geirha, the link is great thanks
[21:48] <jimmie> Hey guys, does anyone know how I can make windows maximise actually into the launcher?
[22:43] <kristian-aalborg> holstein, ping
