HazRPGanyone around that's done android rooting/flashing?05:18
scoundrel50aum, I have a problem, I had an update via update manageer just now, and went through the process, and it looked like there was a kernel update too, so it asked to reboot. My browser I use, is Google Chrome, which I had no problems with before the update, now, it crashes all the time, I can barely use it. Would anybody have any ideas why it would suddenly be like that.......I am running Ubuntu 10.1005:45
scoundrel50awhen I restart it, ti keeps asking me if I want to restor back to what I last cloed but that is an error, I didnt have a problem with closing it before, but that restore keeps coming back all the time,  but I cant do anything because it keeps freezing05:48
scoundrel50athe version of Google Chrome I have is 13.0.782.112......05:50
scoundrel50aI went back a kernel and it seemed to fix the problem and it doesnt seem to be freezing, so the update did something to Google Chrome06:22
AlanBellscoundrel50a: you might try moving or renaming the browser profile06:22
AlanBellprobably in .chrome or something06:22
scoundrel50aok, how would I do that?06:22
AlanBellor try chromium-browser06:23
AlanBelljust rename the ~/.chrome directory (if there is one)06:23
scoundrel50aI teid that, adn it worked but they still havent got everything to work in Chromium06:23
AlanBellmight be called googlechrome or something06:23
scoundrel50awhere would I find it?06:23
AlanBellin your home directory06:23
AlanBellin nautilus ctrl+h to see hidden stuff06:24
scoundrel50aI am in the old kernel, should IO go into the kernel to do this?06:24
AlanBellerr no06:24
scoundrel50aok, will have a look06:24
AlanBellit is a folder in your home directory06:24
scoundrel50ano, its not in there06:26
scoundrel50aI installed it from the internet, so would it go somewhere else?06:27
scoundrel50aI found it in /etc/ would that still be the same06:28
scoundrel50aI cant find it.....anyway thanks06:31
christelgood morning06:33
scoundrel50aoh well, I am still none the wiser and I cant use google chrome, I wish when they did updates, it would break stuff06:38

gordi had a lot of problems with that, ended up disabling it08:19
popeyscoundrel50a: do you have pastebinit installed?08:20
scoundrel50asince the upgrade to the new kernel, each time I start Google Chrome or Chromium I get at the top a message saying do I want to restore the session but it never had a broken session to start, I click on that, it works for a page or two then freezes08:20
popeyif so, can you cause chrome to crash and then "pastebinit /var/log/kern.log"08:20
scoundrel50ayep, I  think so08:21
popeyscoundrel50a: right, start chrome and _don't_ click restore08:21
popeythen open your regular pages one by one08:21
popeysee which one crashes it08:21

gordpopey, ayatana-dev - its the ayatana mailing list we (programmers) actually read :) - designers read the ayatana ml but not us09:09
popeyok09:09
gordpopey, at the very least, i'm pretty sure the guys involved know the problem but are swamped with other stuff. so if they detail the problem, one of the awesome community peeps might take a look09:09

MooDoomight be slow but you could try that....other than that, without an internet connection you'regoing to truggle11:06
Dudley-puppyyeah but none work.with ubuntu11:07
MooDooyou don't need a tethering app for ubuntu, you'd install it on your phone, then ubuntu would recognise it as a modem and use your 3g as connection11:07
Dudley-puppywhich app do I get11:08
MooDooDudley-puppy: up to you, there are a few, go reasearch good11:08

shaunoif the mp3 support comes in from repos, apt-zip would be a completely different approach11:11

directhexMooDoo, EVERY TIME i go out of my way to help - not just giving hints, but the full answer with links to everything that could be desired, it turns out to be something like this.11:29

diploWhat type of micro SD card do I want for a mobile, if anyone can recommend, used to buy the cheapest but does anyone know better12:02
diplo?12:02
dwatkinsI can't imagine the speed/class matters, diplo - I'd get as large as is affordable, in case you need to transport large amounts of data or music12:02
ClarkNovaYou can get a 16gig card for ~£15 nowadays I think12:03
diployeah, seeing different classes are better for speed12:03
diployeah got a sandisk one here for £13.9912:03
diploBut it's a type2 ?12:03
ClarkNovaI think you only need a fast speed card if you are doing something like writing his-red video to the card. For music I would just buy a cheap card.12:04
ClarkNovaType 2 is what I have, no problems with it for the most part. Only issue is if I want to record video at 1080p, gets a bit jerky because it's not writing fast enough I think.12:05
daubersWoot! Lunch time12:05
diploCheers12:07
GaryI got a class 6 for my phone, I use apps to sd a bit and have seen the performance improve from the class 2 I had before12:07
diploWill take a look at price difference ta12:08

Garywhat site diplo ?  ebuyer seems good pricewise, so is play.com12:18
oimondiplo: i got a class 10 for my phone12:19

diploSorry wen twith Amazon has i had a fiver left on a voucher12:21
diploGoing to go for class6/10 next pay day12:22

Dudley-puppywho highlighted me?12:27
Dudley-puppydependency is not satisfiable: lsusb-1.0-012:32
Dudley-puppywhat does this mean12:32
Dudley-puppy and how do I solve it12:33
MooDooit just means you're trying to install something that requires something else that is a specific version.....12:34
MooDooto fix it, i would google it.12:34
Dudley-puppyI dont know what to do12:36
MooDooneither do i to be honest, but there may be something on google that could help you, especially if no one knows here.12:37
Dudley-puppy*sigh* ok then12:37
MooDoono need to sigh, we're trying to help, but you also need to try to help yourself :)12:38
directhexor provide detailed info required to give specific answers12:38
directhexe.g. in this case, the version of ubuntu you're using would be a start12:38
MooDoowhat version is it?12:38
Dudley-puppy9.10 beta12:39
MooDoobeta?12:40
hooverThat's quite old Dudley-puppy12:40
MooDoodon't you have a later version?12:40
Dudley-puppyyeah12:40
Dudley-puppyI know and I cant update without the internet12:40
MooDooDudley-puppy: are you unable to get a copy of natty?12:41
hooveryou might pick up some cover disk at the local newsagent#s12:41
Dudley-puppynot that I know of12:41
directhexyou know that'll be the main problem with your wifi, right?12:42
directhexi.e. a release from 2009 won't have modern wifi drivers12:42
Dudley-puppynot without the internet12:42
Dudley-puppyI think.so12:42
directhexplus, 9.10 isn't supported anymore, so any guides etc you find will no longer apply12:43
oimone.g. Ubuntu User magazine12:43
hooverI'd check the local store for a disc with something newer on it.12:44
diploDudley-puppy, you could go to a library and get all required files for an update, if i remember correctly you can export to a text file what a system needs to update and go to the library or a friends and grab them all ?12:44
Dudley-puppyI have just asked work if the router is working (that might be the issue)12:45
diploIf you have internet there but your wireless doesn't work, can't you try hard wiring it ?12:55
Dudley-puppyjust reset the router hopefully it works now13:07
shaunoa network .. with a network cable?  that's crazy enough that it might work13:07
directhexcables are old school. these days you get your internets wirelessly and charge wirelessly13:10
Dudley-puppydont have a Ethernet care soz13:11

ahayzenHi I was speaking to u guys yesterday about a HDD issue ...17:35
ahayzen@AlanBell: I have just changed my SATA cable and put the HDD into a different port and the HDD now appear in the livecd with SMART working :)17:36
ahayzenalthough it says that it has a 'Bad sector'17:36
ahayzenI can also access all the data now ... does this mean i should be able to boot normally?17:37
ali1234popey: that's euros as well of course17:38
ahayzenwould i just run a 'Check Filesystem' from Disk utility to fix the bad sectors?17:39
jacobwpopey: thanks17:42
ahayzensorry din dins ... will ask again later :) ...17:43
bernhard2Having about 5 errors in my log during bootup. help fixing these would be great.. check em out here..  http://pastebin.com/dFABgSqe18:15
tsimpsonbernhard2: cross-posting is rude, fyi18:16
ali1234bernhard2: for the first one install package linux-firmware-nonfree18:22
ali1234bernhard2: second one is normal, it just means there was no resume image, which is normal if you didn't suspend18:22
ali1234third is only an issue if you need to use pci hotplugging (you almost certainly don't)18:25
ali1234sorry that's the 4th one18:25
ali12345th is to do with motherboard temperature sensors - they changed how those all work recently, and some drivers still lag18:26
exobuzzlol @ popey18:42
exobuzzyour not going near my ironing!! rotfl18:42
exobuzzyou're18:42
ahayzenHi ... If my disk has a bad sector do i just run 'Check Filesystem' from disk utility to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance.18:44
exobuzzahayzen, i tend to do a selftest with smartctl and then see where the bad block is, and then use hdparm to overwrite it at the drive level.18:45
ahayzenhow would i do this?18:46
ahayzen'Run self-test' :) ?18:46
exobuzzsmartctl -t long /dev/drive18:46
ahayzenok18:46
exobuzzsmartctl -a /dev/drive to see the results. then if you have a bad block marked, you can use hdparm --write-sector with it. - with care. i take no responsibility heh18:47
ahayzenhow can i work out which sda has the bad sector?18:48
ahayzencause the disk utility just says the drive does18:48
exobuzzits in an array ?18:48
ahayzenno it has partitions18:48
exobuzzwe are working on the raw device. not partitions18:48
exobuzzto be honest, i wouldnt do this unless you are confident you know what you are doing18:48
ahayzenwell my HDD is formatted with ext4 :S18:48
exobuzzrun a long test on the drive with smartctl.18:49
exobuzzand read the logs - it will log errors should already have some stuff in the log if it had read errors18:50
ahayzeni have sda1, sda2, sda5 -> swap, sda6 is there a way to work out which partition has the bad sector rather than running the test on each?18:50
exobuzznote - everything i am saying assumes you have a full daily backup of your files etc18:50
exobuzz /sda - we are working on the actual drive. not logical partitions18:50
ahayzeni have my files backed up but i'm running off a livecd18:50
exobuzzyou run the test on the drive. not a partition18:50
ahayzenah ... will this delete any data or just fix the bad sectors?18:51
exobuzzno. it will read the entire disk and some other stuff18:51
exobuzzdo smartctl -a /dev/sda and paste the output somewhere18:51
* AlanBell returns home at last18:51
AlanBellhour and a bit to the reapproval meeting in #ubuntu-meeting18:51

AlanBellany improvement that can be made to the application would be great18:54
AlanBellI have just walked in the house and I am preparing a sausage sarnie and a pint of pimms18:54
exobuzzahayzen0, ok so you have a pending sector. now do smartctl -t short /dev/sda if it finds nothing do smartctl -t long /dev/sda18:54
ahayzenok ....18:55
exobuzzstrange there are no errors logged mind. we shall see after the test. this just does some read tests btw. it doesnt write anything 9apart from to smart log)18:55
ahayzen0the test has started?!? .... 'Please wait 2 minutes for test to complete.'... how do i view the results?18:56
exobuzzsmartctl -a shows everything .18:56
exobuzzAlanBell, pint of pimms? straight? :) heh18:56

exobuzzplease18:58
ahayzen0http://paste.ubuntu.com/667589/18:58
exobuzzok so now, you can see the lba of a failed sector18:59
ahayzen0in disk utility after refreshing it says 'Self tests: FAILED (Read)'18:59
ahayzen0ok19:00
exobuzzyou can do "hdparm --write-sector 148493569 /dev/sda" note this will write over data on the disk.19:00
ahayzen0but just over tht sector?19:00
exobuzzyes19:00
ahayzen0'Please supply the --yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing flag if you really want this.' <- lol19:01
exobuzzfirst of all. try this19:01
exobuzzhdparm --read-sector 148493569 /dev/sda19:01
ahayzen0ok..19:01
ahayzen0'reading sector 148493569: FAILED: Input/output error'19:01
exobuzzok.. now write it with hdparm19:02
ahayzen0ok19:02
exobuzzand then try reading it again19:02
ahayzen0what is the '--yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing flag'...19:03
exobuzzyou have to add that. i didnt tell you that. thats part of the test :)19:03
exobuzzits to make sure you dont accidently run stuff that is potentially dangerous19:03
ahayzen0hmmm but it doesn't then run ...19:04
ahayzen0'sudo hdparm --write-sector 148493569 /dev/sda --yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing' just outputs the options for the cmd19:04
exobuzz/dev/sda comes last19:04
exobuzzbtw are your partitions unmounted. i didnt ask that. i assumed heh19:04
exobuzzsince you are booting from livecd19:04
ahayzen0yep :)19:05
ahayzen0're-writing sector 148493569: succeeded'19:05
ahayzen0so now test the read19:05
exobuzznow try the read again. if it works. then do the smartctl test again and wait19:05
ahayzen0'reading sector 148493569: succeeded' ... and then lots of 0000 :D19:05
exobuzzgood19:05
ahayzen0right so now the disk is 'Healthy' ...19:06
ahayzen0hopefully now i have changed the SATA cable to one tht worked the PC will start working :)19:06
exobuzzrun the short test. then if thats good, fsck every partition19:06
ahayzen0could u just remind me of the fsck cmd19:07
exobuzznote we will have overwritten data on the disk, so its wise to restore from the backup on the partition that had the problem19:07
ahayzen0ok :)19:07
exobuzzfsck.ext4 /dev/sdaX for ext419:07
ahayzen0is there any way of actually working out wht bit of data tht was?19:07
exobuzz-f to force it19:07
ahayzen0thx19:07
exobuzzfsck.ext4 -f /dev/sdaX19:07
exobuzzthere is a way, but its slightly complicated.19:08
ahayzen0ok :(19:08
ahayzen0could u work out which partition?19:08
ahayzen0so i know if it is / or /home or swap19:08
ahayzen0'Self-tests: Completed OK' :)19:08
exobuzzthe info you need is in http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/badblockhowto.html19:08
ahayzen0ok thx19:09
exobuzzhowever just fsck the drives and you will likely find out anyway19:09
exobuzzthe partitions i mean19:09
ahayzen0running sda1 atm19:09
ahayzen0'Error reading block 146 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read).  Ignore error<y>? '19:10
ahayzen0do i say no?19:11
exobuzzctrl+c and do a smartctl -t long /dev/sda on the disk first19:11
exobuzzto make srue there are no more bad blocks19:11
ahayzen0ok19:11
exobuzzit can take a few hours19:11
exobuzzif you have plenty of errors, send the drive back :)19:11
ahayzen0u weren't joking ... 22:00 it will finish19:12
exobuzz(if it's in warranty)19:12
exobuzzyeh heh19:12
ahayzen0well i think it is more the SATA cable...19:12
exobuzzoh. well get that replaced right now and stop everything heh19:12
ahayzen0cause yesterday i couldn't even read the disk ... so today i tried a different SATA cable in a different port and it seems to be working a bit better19:12
ahayzen0i'm on a different SATA cable at the moment :) thts why it is able to read the disk19:13
ahayzen0in the current state wht would happen if i just ran the Ubuntu install would it then write over the bad sectors or should i wait for the test to end?19:14
exobuzzwait for the test.19:15
ahayzen0it appears one bad sector has already been found19:15
exobuzzbasically you can do as before. read it with hdparm. fails. write it (block gets remapped). retest. you may have a bunch of them. if drive is under warranty send it back. else rinse and repeat this, and maybe reinstall once its "clean".19:16
ahayzen0ok thx :)19:17
ahayzen0ok ... thank you for ur help ... i was really worried the other day because the machine couldn't get POST BIOS as it kept getting stuck at 'Detecting IDE drives' i thought tht this was the end of my disk/mobo but it appears to be the cable (yn)19:20

Azelphurlooking at this ehcp thing it doesn't exactly look like something I'd want on my server :x21:47
judgeywget www.ehcp.net/ehcp_latest.tgz21:47
Azelphurwhat does it even do?21:47
judgeyits just to host domain and mysql21:48

Azelphurand then sending it to bvidinli@gmail.com21:52
Azelphurwtf and it's adding nginx repositories even if you use apache21:52
judgeyits on ubuntu forums i though it would be safe21:52

Azelphurjudgey: I'd be tempted to just reinstall ubuntu server to ensure all the crap this thing has done is gone21:55
Azelphurit's doing some very dodgy, weird things that it absolutely doesn't need to be doing21:56
judgeyif there somthing eles i can use thats newbie freindly?21:56

Azelphur>.<22:00
Azelphurjudgey: have you done much work, is it easy for you to just reinstall ubuntu server fresh?22:00
judgeyyer all i have done is teh install of the server and ehcp22:00
judgeythe22:00
Azelphurstart off by doing that then, so we can get rid of the ehcp stuff22:01
Azelphurit looks rather dodgy :p22:01

diplo-Me 222:02
Azelphurtada you have apache mysql php all setup >.>22:02
Azelphur(that's all install.sh does, only in a much more haphazard manner)22:03
Azelphur(on top of the mailing of various system information, too)22:03
judgeylol thats great Azelphur  and diplo-  ;) i wish it was that easy i allways get stuck22:03

judgeynice :)22:06
=== rose_ is now known as nucc1
judgeyi got the car MOT at 2pm so will be after that :) thanks for the heads up and i shall be back to bother u loads im sure :)22:07
diplo-As Azelphur says it's really easy to set up a basic install22:08
judgeycan not wait now lol can not belive ehcp has all that bad stuff my bad22:09
diplo-For me, I just install from repos22:10
diplo-Rarely from anywhere else, you always get security upgrades and you know from a source you can trust22:10
judgeyUbuntu Server 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" --- Ubuntu Server 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" --- Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx"22:11
judgeywhats the diffrence?22:11
judgeyits on my list of os i can install22:12
diplo-LTS is long term support22:12
diplo-So server gets 5 years i believe of security upgrades22:12
diplo-Where as mav and natty are i think 3 years22:12
judgeyoic22:12
diplo-Depends if you want latest and greatest versions of php/mysql etc22:13
diplo-Or stable security.22:13
diplo-I personally run natty as i am not worried about being overly stable22:13
diplo-Well not stable..22:13
shaunoI tend to recommend LTS for servers, unless you really want to babysit a major upgrade every 6 months.  because the other huge catch is that you can upgrade from one LTS to the next, every 2 years.  for non-LTS releases, you need to upgrade via each consecutive 6-monthly release22:13
diplo-And that's the other side :)22:14
diplo-Glad you typed that and not me22:14
diplo-:D22:14
judgeykool thx for heads up22:14
