[04:27] <Demosthenes> anyone have virtualbox running on lucid? my dkms modules refuse to compile.
[04:28] <lickalott> did you spank them?
[04:29] <Demosthenes> well, i only dabble in dominating kernel modules.
[04:29] <Demosthenes> i don't think these really fear me yet
[04:31] <lickalott> i've only ever used it on winblows

[10:01] <greenmang0> can anybody here tell me the procedure to "fsck" an "lvm" partition using "live cd" ?
[10:02] <greenmang0> filesystem has errors on it ... but then i mount it using live cd ... e2fsck says that it's clean
[10:07] <patdk-lap> don't mount it, just fsck it
[10:08] <patdk-lap> e2fsck -f /dev/....
[10:10] <greenmang0> patdk-lap, yes... tried that ... it still says "clean"
[10:10] <patdk-lap> using -f?
[10:10] <greenmang0> patdk-lap, yes ... -fv
[10:11] <patdk-lap> -f is suppost to make it check, even if it's clean
[10:11] <patdk-lap> so it must really be clean then
[10:11] <patdk-lap> why do you think it's broken?
[10:11] <greenmang0> patdk-lap, but if i boot system and run "e2fsck -n /dev/mapper/foobar" it says partition has errors
[10:11] <patdk-lap> you did mount the lvm right?
[10:12] <greenmang0> patdk-lap, what happens is the file system suddenly becomes "read-only" after few days of uptime and some files become inaccessible
[10:12] <greenmang0> patdk-lap, rebooting solve the issue temporarily ...
[10:12] <patdk-lap> heh, I had that happen only once
[10:13] <greenmang0> and i keep getting some "ata" errors on login screen
[10:13] <patdk-lap> it was my laptops intel wifi driver doing it, corrupting ext3 somehow
[10:13] <patdk-lap> upgraded the driver, and all is good
[10:13] <greenmang0> patdk-lap, how can i find the root cause?
[10:13] <patdk-lap> no idea
[10:14] <patdk-lap> I solved it by chance, kindof, by removing parts of the computer, and trying again
[10:14] <patdk-lap> till it didn't corrupt the filesystem
[10:14] <greenmang0> patdk-lap, ok
[10:14] <patdk-lap> for me, I couldn't even do an install, cause it would get corrupted that quickly
[10:15] <patdk-lap> so it provided a pretty quick reliable way to tell
[11:34] <jforman> hi all. is there an easy way to convert a ubuntu 10.04 server LTS release to standard 11.04 server? without blowing it away and reinstalling from scratch
[11:37] <alamar> dist-upgrade to 10.10 and then to 11.04
[11:38] <jforman> thats what i suspected, just wasnt sure. maverick was the option i was given when trying a 'do-release-upgrade -d'.
[11:39] <alamar> jforman: that's what the release notes of 11.04 suggest. (to be more precise they refer to the upgrade notes for maverick)
[13:31] <RoyK> jforman: edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal, then run do-release-upgrade
[13:32] <RoyK> oops - he apparently left...
[13:33] <sajkaca> hi. i have 6 hds and i want to make raid 5. how to set up partitions?
[13:33] <RoyK> sajkaca: no need for partitions
[13:33] <RoyK> sajkaca: have you created a raid with mdadm?
[13:35] <sajkaca> i m doing a fresh install. i set up raid 1 for /boot partition and then raid 5 and lvm /, swap and storage
[13:35] <sajkaca> it doesnt work grup cant be installed so i think i did something wrong
[13:35] <sajkaca> grub*
[13:36] <RoyK> I'd recommend using separate drives for root/boot with raid-1/mirrors
[13:36] <RoyK> then use the remaining drives, equally sized, for a raid-5 (or raid-6 if you're paranoid) for the data
[13:37] <RoyK> smallish 2,5" drives are good if space is an issue
[13:42] <sajkaca> 4 drives will not be enough for storage i need more. so i have to do 6 hds for raid. only boot is the problem
[13:42] <sajkaca> becose it wont work. and i read on google that there is some ishues with ubuntu raid 5 etc.. so i need howto that the system will work fine
[13:50] <ubunteo> hi everyone.
[13:50] <ubunteo> how are you ??
[13:57] <ubunteo> do we need public IP to build webserver to be accessed anywhere from internet ?
[14:03] <RoyK> sajkaca: the problem with mixed raid setup is when something fails - get some small drives for the root - you can probably find some small drives from ebay for close to nothing - for example http://www.ebay.com/itm/40GB-5400RPM-2-5-SATA-Serial-ATA-Laptop-Hard-Drive-HDD-/260833948384?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cbaea32e0
[14:03] <RoyK> ubunteo: yes
[14:04] <RoyK> ubunteo: either a public IP or some nat magick
[14:04] <ubunteo> ok.
[14:04] <ubunteo> RoyK: thanks

[14:11] <ubunteo> why can't GIMP or others can't be exactly the same like Photoshop?
[14:11] <RoyK> "why can't linux be exactly the same as windows?"
[14:12] <ubunteo> wine is odd
[14:12] <RoyK> ubunteo: there are sets of shortcuts out there to mimic photoshop
[14:12] <RoyK> ubunteo: they're separate systems, with separate goals, so they're bound to be different
[14:12] <ubunteo> RoyK: I mean other features like addons and brushes and actions.
[14:13] <RoyK> and Adobe has been in this for years and gimp is still rather new in comparison
[14:13] <RoyK> ubunteo: /j #gimp
[14:13] <RoyK> it's not really an ubuntu server issue :P
[14:14] <ubunteo> RoyK: the sad thing is OSS community can't create absolute alternative to  Windows' Active Directory. even SAMBA LDAP can't resemble windows exactly the same features
[14:14] <RoyK> samba4 does
[14:14] <RoyK> but then, it's not finished
[14:14] <ubunteo> RoyK: I want to stop using Windows AD . it is waste of money
[14:15] <RoyK> and, btw, samba isn't an acronym
[14:15] <RoyK> just a name derived from SMB (server message block, the windoze file sharing protocol)
[14:15] <ubunteo> RoyK: may be a rumor or I dont know. there would be ubuntu directory services. how is that status to totally replace windows AD ?
[14:16] <RoyK> ubunteo: samba4 supports acting as an AD controller
[14:17] <RoyK> it's still in alpha, though (IIRC). See http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4 for more info
[14:17] <ubunteo> RoyK:  actually Novell Directory Service eDirectory can totally replace or do same feature like windows AD for most common daily routines for users of windows. why ubuntu can't ?
[14:17] <RoyK> hm... seems it's left alpha
[14:18] <RoyK> NDS is closed source
[14:18]  * RoyK is an old NetWare Master CNE :D
[14:19] <RoyK> ubunteo: but then, openldap and samba can do a few things
[14:19] <RoyK> with samba4, it'll be far easier to implement windows integration
[14:19] <ubunteo> RoyK: I know it is dead end technology according to the whole world though I don't know exactly why. But installiing novell clients for widnows on each windows computer, it can communicate well with Novell eDirectory
[14:20] <RoyK> I know
[14:20] <RoyK> NDS is kickass technology compared to AD
[14:20] <RoyK> AD is merely a smart extension of the old winnt domains
[14:20] <ubunteo> RoyK: I would like to get the same feature with ubuntu servers at back end and windows clients at front end
[14:20] <RoyK> NDS is a distributed catalog service
[14:21] <RoyK> well, for windows, you either need an NDS client, or AD support
[14:21] <RoyK> AFAIK windows doesn't support LDAP logins
[14:21] <RoyK> and I doubt mickysoft will add that, since by then, there'll be less need for AD
[14:22] <RoyK> ubunteo: try samba4
[14:22] <RoyK> you'll need to compile it from source, though, but it might be worth a try if you're eager to kick out M$ servers
[14:23] <ubunteo> RoyK:  but making samba can directly talk to windows and for over exceeded quantity of users that samba can't handle, samba server should connect to LDAP server to handle. I read that on one article
[14:24] <RoyK> erm... I didn't quite understand that - what do you mean?
[14:24] <ubunteo> RoyK: I have to convince management before we decide to use ubuntu instead of costly windows. This is reform. I would like to make sure all before hand.
[14:25] <RoyK> keep your AD controller and use Samba for fileservers
[14:25] <RoyK> samba can join AD easily
[14:25] <RoyK> using samba4 in production would be silly
[14:25] <ubunteo> RoyK: I don't want to see MS stuffs anymore. I dn't want install antivirus and other related problems
[14:26] <RoyK> ubunteo: are your clients running windows?
[14:26] <ubunteo> RoyK: yes. all clients are windows.. all servers are novell. I am now in the middle of nowhere to migrate to ubuntu or windows servers for the backend deployment
[14:27] <RoyK> ok, so you're using netware and NDS?
[14:29] <RoyK> currently, there's no good open source replacement for AD or NDS
[14:29] <ubunteo> RoyK: yes. Groupwise. Border Manager
[14:29] <ubunteo> RoyK: oh. that sucks . that is why linux still can't beat Microsoft
[14:30] <ubunteo> RoyK: ok thanks a lot. let me stop.
[14:30] <RoyK> well, linux is a bit more than windows integration - last I checked, linux was the most used OS for web services and more
[14:30] <RoyK> ubunteo: btw
[14:30] <RoyK> ubunteo: I think there might be an LDAP login plugin available for win
[14:30] <RoyK> haven't tried it, though
[14:31] <ubunteo> is there anyone who is using inventory software to record IT stocks like toners, cartridges and CDs, DVDs cosume and refill ?
[14:32] <ubunteo> As I am looking for inventory software for non-profit organizations. There is no sales or linking to accounts in this inventory software.
[14:40] <RoyK> no idea, but I guess there are dozens of packages available for that
[14:40] <RoyK> google for it
[14:45] <ubunteo> RoyK: I checked sf.net. most are network based tracing serials network cards .bla bla. I just want pure IT stocks recordiing no sales included

[16:39] <KM0201> or do you mean the mini-sas card question?
[16:40] <KM0201> mfraz74:

[16:40] <KM0201> click the link on the bug report, and read his description of his "bug" (i think the bigger problem is between his ears)
[16:41]  * patdk-lap wonders what exactly is a mini-sas card
[16:41] <mfraz74> i'm running kubuntu 11.10 on a netbook, it's looking good, but i wouldn't trust it on my main machine yet
[16:41] <patdk-lap> I know sas and sata, but haven't seen anything called mini
[16:41] <mfraz74> is the card mini?
[16:42] <patdk-lap> dunno, that would be called lowprofile
[16:42] <KM0201> i've always heard it called a mini-sas card.. maybe i named it improperly
[16:42] <KM0201> sas is appropriat ei'm sure.. i think mini just describes the card
[16:42] <mfraz74> http://www.saverstore.com/product/20070396/7725665/HP-Smart-Array-P410-256-SAS-Controller-Card-PCIe-X8-8-port--2x-Internal-Mini-SAS-4x-Connector-
[16:42] <patdk-lap> sas lp card :), low profile sas hba, to be more exact
[16:43] <KM0201> i'm int he US, and second, i don't wanna spend that much, that's a little insane.
[16:43] <patdk-lap> oh, the mini-sas in that refers to the sff-8087 ports
[16:43] <mfraz74> it was a bit expensive, i've found another for £23 :)
[16:44] <mfraz74> i was just using it as an example of mini-sas cards
[16:44] <KM0201> ok.. let me explain what i want.. i think its sff 8087.... i want a raid card, that has 2 ports, that will allow me to run 8 drives, w/ a cable like this..  http://www.amazon.com/Adaptec-2236600-R-Internal-Mini-SASX4-SFF-8087/dp/B000GU04X2
[16:44] <patdk-lap> I think some call it mini-sas compared to the sff-8484 conector
[16:45] <KM0201> ok.
[16:46] <patdk-lap> looks like your getting a highpoint then
[16:46] <patdk-lap> if you want cost effective
[16:46] <patdk-lap> otherwise probably go with an lsi
[16:46] <KM0201> well cost effective would be nice.
[16:46] <patdk-lap> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816115079
[16:46] <KM0201> i'd like to keep it between 90-150 US (not sure on your idea of cost effective)
[16:46] <patdk-lap> you want a raid card for <200?
[16:47] <KM0201> i did't think that seemed htat unusual.
[16:47] <patdk-lap> your asking for fakeraid, and they don't make fakeraid sas
[16:48] <KM0201> patdk-lap: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816115096
[16:49] <KM0201> patdk-lap: if i'm looking at that card correctly, it should support 8 drives (2 ports, 4 drives each)
[16:49] <patdk-lap> it does
[16:49] <patdk-lap> but the firmware on that card isn't that great
[16:50] <KM0201> why would that be a concern?...
[16:50] <patdk-lap> you don't know how to read the feedback section?
[16:50] <patdk-lap> or do your own research about stuff before you buy?
[16:50] <KM0201> actually, i didn't even notice it had a feedback tab..lol
[16:50] <KM0201> yes, i research before i buy, i was just posting that one as an example.
[16:51] <patdk-lap> if you look, only highpoints are <200
[16:51] <KM0201> yeah
[16:52] <KM0201> i know high point makes a crap firearm, so maybe thats an omen.. :)
[16:52] <patdk-lap> well, some of their stuff isn't
[16:52] <KM0201> their pistols.
[16:52] <patdk-lap> maybe they will be like ati was
[16:52] <KM0201> some of their rifles get rave reviews (but i have no experience w/ those)
[16:52] <patdk-lap> I refused to get an ati video card cause the drivers where always crashing systems
[16:53] <KM0201> yeah
[16:56] <KM0201> patdk-lap: how is intel usually?...  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816117157
[16:57] <patdk-lap> intel is just relabled lsi
[16:57] <KM0201> that should do what i want i think
[16:57] <patdk-lap> ya
[16:58] <KM0201> now just to see how solid it's linux support is
[16:58] <patdk-lap> hmm? lsi has always been making linux drivers
[16:58] <patdk-lap> never had an issue
[16:59] <KM0201> are they "plug n play" or do you have to compile the driver?
[16:59] <patdk-lap> plugnplay
[16:59] <patdk-lap> just have to download the management software from their website
[17:00] <KM0201> is that really necessary?
[17:00] <patdk-lap> if you want to fix the raid without taking the whole system down? yes
[17:00] <KM0201> sounds like its necessary.. :)
[17:00] <patdk-lap> or see if a drive failed, without depending on led's
[17:01] <KM0201> yeah..
[17:01] <KM0201> how does the mgmt software work?
[17:01] <patdk-lap> pretty simple
[17:01] <patdk-lap> looks just like the bios interface
[17:01] <patdk-lap> atleast for the ones I have
[17:02] <KM0201> hmm, so do you run it via SSH, or.. ?
[17:02] <patdk-lap> yep
[17:02] <KM0201> i see.
[17:03] <KM0201> that seems like it would be the easiest way.
[17:03] <KM0201> maybe i should up my budget a bit, and not "shortchange" this one
[17:11] <KM0201> software raid is working OK, but i only have 6 ports, and have 8 bays... but.. right now i don't need all 6 ports.
[17:11] <KM0201> patdk-lap: question about software raid (i'm kinda new to this)... say one of my drives borks out.. 1. how do i know, and 2, is easy to add a new drive to the array?
[17:12] <patdk-lap> ask mdadm
[17:12] <KM0201> mdadm?
[17:13] <KM0201> hmm
[17:13] <KM0201> i see where you're going
[17:14] <KM0201> unfortunately a lot of that is greek to me
[17:23] <qman__> KM0201, cat /proc/mdstat (or set it up to email you), and yes, it's easy
[17:23] <qman__> install new drive, partition it, then add it to the array with mdadm
[17:24] <KM0201> yeah, i just found a lnk,   http://www.howtoforge.com/replacing_hard_disks_in_a_raid1_array
[17:24] <KM0201> i guess my bigger question, is how to tell which drive is bad..
[17:24] <KM0201> i'm gonna try it in vbox, see if i run into a problem
[17:24] <qman__> the way I tell is with smartctl
[17:25] <KM0201> smartctl?
[17:25] <qman__> it tells you the serial number when you smartctl -a /dev/sd?
[17:25] <qman__> which is printed on the label
[17:25] <KM0201> ohok.
[17:25] <qman__> also, it's often too late when the drive actually drops out of the array
[17:26] <qman__> I use smartd to email me on bad sectors
[17:26] <KM0201> wha tdo you mean "to late".. if i'm using raid 1.. there should be a mirror on the other drive.
[17:26] <qman__> I lost an 8 disk raid 5 that way, three drives failed in one day

[17:26] <qman__> would have known sooner if I had smartctl telling me about the bad sectors
[17:26] <KM0201> 3 drives in 1 day?... lol.. impressive.
[17:27] <KM0201> but wiith raid 1, i have a mirror of the drive, so it shouldn't be as big an issue, right?
[17:27] <qman__> unless your two drives are like my three
[17:27] <qman__> and you can't replace it before the second fails
[17:27] <KM0201> this is true.
[17:27] <qman__> it's more likely than you think, unfortunately
[17:28] <qman__> I've already replaced two drives with bad sectors on my new array
[17:29] <KM0201> unfortunately, this isn't very easy to test in vbox apparently
[17:30] <KM0201> i know what i can do..
[17:31] <KM0201> i can just remove one of the drives in the vbox settings
[17:31] <qman__> you can mark a drive as failed with an mdadm command
[17:31] <KM0201> well, i'm assuming i "miss" that the drive is failed, that sall.
[17:32] <KM0201> or that it fails unexpectedly

[17:57] <Kainore> thanks i will check it out you have helped alot allready now im siting with some idea's to solve it that i diden have before
[18:12] <BrixSat> hello :)
[18:12] <josePhoenix> Userdel won't remove a user if they're logged in.. how can I force logout a user? Would killall -u username work?
[18:13] <BrixSat> does any one here have a git repository server
[18:14] <BrixSat> i would need a tut to point me in the right way
[18:54] <josePhoenix> Any tricks for setting umask? I have a group writable directory, and I want users who create files in there to make them group-writable
[18:56] <josePhoenix> Since the purpose of these user accounts is only to edit files in said group directory, would it be okay to add "umask u=rwx,g=rwx,o=" in their bashrc?
[19:03] <KM0201> is there a way to make ubuntu continue to boot, despite a failed disk on the raid?  I keep getting a "press S or M" (skip or repair manually).. if the server is headless, obviously i won't know this when its powering up.
[19:04] <BrixSat> yes you can fix that
[19:04] <KM0201> ii know how to fix the drive, i just don't want ubuntu to halt on that error.
[19:04] <BrixSat> i had that problems a few months ago and i fixed it in fstab
[19:04] <KM0201> ok..
[19:05] <KM0201> let me bring it back up then take a look at fstab.
[19:05] <qman__> yeah, it halts boot on a degraded array by default
[19:05] <KM0201> yeah, i want to turn that off.
[19:05] <qman__> raid 1 is about the only situation you'd want to continue
[19:06] <KM0201> i use raid 1.
[19:06] <KM0201> :_)
[19:06] <qman__> it's entirely possible, I just don't know where the setting is
[19:06] <KM0201> i'm guessing in fstab, i'll check in a second
[19:07] <KM0201> cuz since i can't SSH while its booting, obviously i wouldn't be able to see that error, and know there's a problem.
[19:07] <orated> Hello, can anyone guide me to achieve this on desktop, please - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/ShareEthernetConnectionThroughWireless?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=ICS2.jpeg ?
[19:08] <KM0201> orated: so.. you have two routers?
[19:08] <KM0201> hmm, wait maybe not.
[19:09] <RoyK> orated: simple matter of iptables nat thing
[19:09] <qman__> or bridge your interfaces
[19:09] <KM0201> yup.
[19:10] <orated> I recently got Dell XPS 15 laptop which allows to connect to WiFi and also LAN
[19:10] <orated> I've never tried , so not sure
[19:10] <josePhoenix> Hmm
[19:11] <josePhoenix> I guess I'll set the umask in their bash profile
[19:11] <orated> Can anyone lnk me to some documentation for this?
[19:13] <orated> KM0201: How can I confirm you if I've two routers or not?
[19:13] <KM0201> you'd see them in your house.
[19:13] <KM0201> but i don't think thats what you're trying to do.
[19:13] <orated> I have only one DSL
[19:14] <orated> I mean D-Link modem which allows me to connect to LAN
[19:15] <orated> I've primarily connect to LAN but wish to share internet making system like a WiFi hotspot to other WiFi enabled devices at home
[19:15] <KM0201> BrixSat: what did you add to fstab, to make that stop happening, i tried "nobootwait".. which didn't do the trick.
[19:15] <orated> I read its called internet connection sharing or masquerade, if I'm right
[19:15] <josePhoenix> Hmm
[19:15] <josePhoenix> /etc/profile is maintained by the package manager, right?
[19:16] <josePhoenix> I can't override the umask in there because it'll cause conflicts when updating
[19:16] <josePhoenix> and I can't put it in /etc/profile.d/ because the umask line is the last one in /etc/profile
[19:17] <orated> RoyK: qman__: Can you guide me on bridgin interfaces? Or iptables can do what I want to try?
[19:17] <qman__> apt-get install bridge-utils
[19:17] <qman__> edit /etc/network/interfaces as root
[19:18] <qman__> add a bridge interface like so: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man5/bridge-utils-interfaces.5.html
[19:19] <KM0201> anybody interested, post#2 did the trick..  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1652587
[19:20] <orated> qman__: And, will it affect when I'm using WiFi?
[19:20] <qman__> done right, all it will do is bridge your wifi to your ethernet
[19:20] <qman__> so configuring your wifi won't affect it
[19:21] <qman__> set up ad-hoc to get the computers connected, or connect to an AP when you're elsewhere
[19:21] <orated> AP?
[19:21] <qman__> access point
[19:22] <orated> ad-hoc works only for connecting computers? It will not work for wifi enabled devices?
[19:23] <qman__> it will work for any wifi device
[19:23] <qman__> the difference is AP mode is a router providing internet access in the traditional way, ad-hoc is multiple 'client' devices just talking to each other
[19:23] <qman__> you're technically providing internet to an ad-hoc network
[19:25] <orated> ad-hoc works only for connecting computers? It will not work for wifi enabled devices??
[19:25] <orated> er
[19:25] <orated> But how is bridging helping to create an ad-hoc network
[19:26] <qman__> it isn't
[19:27] <orated> Sorry, fingers slipped on arrow keys when pressing return,..
[19:27] <orated> ah-ok
[19:27] <qman__> bridging brings your working internet connection to the ad-hoc wireless network
[19:27] <qman__> so other clients on the ad-hoc can get to the net
[19:27] <orated> So, how do I create ad-hoc network?
[19:27] <qman__> probably through network manager
[19:28] <qman__> beyond the scope of this channel, but first google hit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc
[19:30] <orated> I'm sorry for being offtopic. I'm completely beginner on this, so, well.. I'll read more on it. Thank you.

[21:41] <qman__> sudo
[21:46] <oakbox> qman__, Hi, the problem is noip2 runs the script so I cant use sudo??
[21:50] <qman__> use sudo in the script

[22:39] <bernhard2> using exim4 with dovecot (its 80% functional).. i would like to setup virtual domains with virtual mailboxes. are there  any good tutorials ?
[22:43] <CrazyGir> hello! I have someone working remotely on a server who is unable to boot properly. I need to get into the system with a chroot, and we have a rescue cd, but the rescue env did not seem capable of figuring out the LVM setup
[22:43] <CrazyGir> is the rescue env aware of LVM and capable of working with it to mount the root fs?
[22:44] <tohuw> besides the lower values for GIDs, what is the functional difference between a system group (i.e., a group created with the --system option) and a non-system group?
[22:45] <CrazyGir> while I'm not 100% sure, I would hope ubuntu was playing smart and putting extra restrictions on the system user/group
[22:45] <CrazyGir> not sure though
[22:45] <CrazyGir> ddg it?
[22:46] <CrazyGir> (duckduckgo.com)
[22:52] <tohuw> I've searched around, nothing relevant has come up. Groups, unlike users, don't have explicit extra permissions based on their ID, so I'm not sure what restrictions would be needed for a group, other than making usre it has a unique GID
[22:53] <CrazyGir> well, there are also login limits, like max files and such
[22:53] <CrazyGir> but yea, I don't know
[22:53] <CrazyGir> tohuw: as ubuntu is based on debian, maybe #debian as something to say
[23:24] <CrazyGir> could someone translate this? I just tried a service networking start and received: start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.6" (uid=1000 pid=2381 comm="start) interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init))
[23:39] <wpl> When setting up ip_tables i get this error: "can't initialize iptables table `raw': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)". What do I have to do?
[23:40] <lickalott> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1746390
[23:41] <wpl> lickalott: Already did it. A 'sudo modinfo ip_tables' gives: "modinfo: could not open /lib/modules/2.6.18-028stab092.1/modules.dep".
[23:46] <lickalott> are you root?
[23:47] <lickalott> better question are you in the sudousers file?
[23:48] <wpl> lickalott: i am. The requested file does not exist on my system.
[23:49] <lickalott> wait 2
[23:49] <lickalott> lemme check mine
[23:50] <wpl> but i have a moduldes.deb in '/lib/modules/2.6.18-028stab064.8/'
[23:51] <wpl> why does modinfo look for a non-existing '/lib/...stab092.1'?
[23:54] <lickalott> mine show up as 2.6.38-8-generic-pae
[23:55] <lickalott> whats inside your modules dir?
[23:56] <wpl> modules.alias   modules.ieee1394map  modules.ofmap     modules.symbols
[23:56] <wpl> modules.ccwmap  modules.inputmap     modules.pcimap    modules.usbmap
[23:56] <wpl> modules.dep     modules.isapnpmap    modules.seriomap
[23:57] <wpl> the problem is that 'modprobe', 'insmod' etc. are looking for the wrong directory
[23:57] <lickalott> just found this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9967579&postcount=12
[23:58] <lickalott> thinking maybe you can edit that file for the proper path.
