johnny77I'm having trouble making a Ubuntu USB install. The Checksum is right; Using Unetbootin; Testing with two computers; both see flash drive and contents when booted; both give me a Missing Operating System error when booting.00:13

jalcinejohnny77: did you install the MBR?00:15
johnny77jalcine: not sure. I assumed that Unetbootin installed what I needed to boot from the USB drive.00:16
johnny77jalcine: that is what it is supposed to do right?00:16
jalcinetbh, I thought it only downloaded the ISO onto a medium.00:16
jalcineI don't know about adding the bootloader.00:16
Unit193unetbooting *should* have taken care of that, yes.00:17
johnny77How do I check?00:17

CuliforgeI got an error while installing a package... sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)... how do I go about finding out meaning, cause, and solution?00:46
mysteriousdarrenCuliforge: what was the error code?01:13
Culiforgemysteriousdarren: that was all.. now that I've done some googling and poking around.. I'm getting subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 25501:14
Culiforgemysteriousdarren: looking at a help blog now that suggests 'dpkg --force all --remove' not sure what it does but it doesn't sound prudent....01:16
Culiforgemysteriousdarren: here's full output http://paste.ubuntu.com/872380/01:22

zeechHi, I have a question:  I have an ntfs drive for data in my xubuntu PC.  It "just works", however I have to access it first to mount it.  How do I mount it automatically?  One way is to edit my fstab, but that seems to result in something different from the GUI method.07:27
scriptwarlockautomount the windows drive?07:33
zeechyes, that is what I want to do.07:33

zeechah, thanks scriptwarlock07:36

ScG^Dedicatedanyone here that could help me with a problem that I have in AppArmor in Ubuntu 12.04?16:56
IAmNotThatGuyScG^Dedicated, Kindly explain about it. however, I would prefer suggesting you to ask in #ubuntu+116:59
ScG^DedicatedThen I shall inform there :)16:59
IAmNotThatGuyScG^Dedicated, Do not ask to ask questions. Just ask them =] see the topic here =]17:02
ScG^Dedicatedroger :)17:03
ScG^DedicatedIAmNotThatGuy: mind to help me since it seems no one else is able to help me :)18:09
ScG^Dedicatedin 12.04 I added a Firefox profile in AppArmor (completely default I only created it) and now my Firefox does not load anymore. Anyone that could help me with that? :)18:09
ScG^Dedicatedohh it didn't paste everything lol18:10
ScG^Dedicatedin 12.04 I added a Firefox profile in AppArmor (completely default I only created it) and now my Firefox does not load anymore. Anyone that could help me with that? :)18:10
holsteinScG^Dedicated: i would remove the firefox config from /home ... you can also create another user and test18:12
ScG^Dedicatedwell I want to have a firefox profile18:14
ScG^Dedicatedit's just that even with a default profile it does not seem to work18:15
ScG^Dedicatedwhile it should of course :)18:15
holsteinScG^Dedicated: cool.. how did it work when you removed the config?18:15
ScG^DedicatedI haven't removed it yet18:15
ScG^Dedicatedbut before I made the profile everything was working fine18:15
holsteinOK.. well, let me know when you remove that, and test running firefox, and we can go from there18:15
ScG^Dedicatedalright18:16
Sidewinder1ScG^Dedicated, I believe that a new FF profile is automatically created, each time FF loads if there is not one already; but I may be incorrect in that assumption.18:16
ScG^DedicatedI need two things: #1 music # I need to look up how to remove it so brb ^^18:16
ScG^DedicatedSidewinder1: is that since 12.04? Since I did read something about a Firefox profile already been made by 12.04 as default so I might have two firefox profiles now18:17
Sidewinder1ScG^Dedicated, I know nothing of 12.04; I'm an LTS person. But what I stated earlier is, I believe, a Firefox thing.. Not sure though18:19
ScG^Dedicatedholstein: I'm sorry but I cannot find the right way to remove the profile18:33
ScG^Dedicatedit says a long command with profile.name (as example) but if I use firefox.sh nothing happens or it cannot find the file18:33
holsteinScG^Dedicated: you can also make a user account temporarily18:34
ScG^Dedicateda new ubuntu user account?18:34
holsteinin your home directory, there will be a .firefox or .mozilla18:35
holsteinyou just rename that to *.backup or whatever18:35
ScG^DedicatedI called it .mozillabackup18:36
ScG^Dedicatedtried to boot firefox but still not booting18:37
holsteinScG^Dedicated: are you up to date with backups?18:37
holsteinopen a terminal and run firefox from there, and see what messages happen18:37
ScG^Dedicatedit's a VM where I am trying out Ubuntu on so I have no backups because if I get everything the way I want it I will then remove the VM and make a dual boot with Ubuntu as main OS18:38
ScG^Dedicated/usr/bin/firefox: 1: /user/bin/firefox: which: Permission denied18:41
holsteinim talking about system updates18:41
holsteinusing the update manger, or whatever18:41
ScG^Dedicatednope updating now :)18:42
holsteini would just install it on metal, and go for it18:42
ScG^Dedicatedon metal?18:42
holsteinmigrating thta install from VM to metal is *not* all that trivial anyways18:42
ScG^Dedicatedlol18:42
holsteinScG^Dedicated: on the hardware, not in VM18:42
ScG^Dedicatedwell I am new to linux and I want to set up ufw, apparmor, snort, hids, rkhunter, chkrootkit, noscript and safer default settings like no ipv6 and also truecrypt18:44
ScG^DedicatedVM is perfect to try all of that18:44
holsteinyou can do that where ever you like18:44
holsteinim just saying, what are you going to do to move that out of VM to the hardware?18:44
ScG^Dedicatedwell yes but if I mess it up I have to reïnstall again18:44
ScG^DedicatedI am not going to transfer it, I will do it all over again18:45
holsteinfor me, it takes about 8 or so minutes to reinstall...18:45
ScG^Dedicatedwhow 8 mins18:45
ScG^Dedicatedthat's fast18:45
holsteinyou *should* figure out what you have dont to break FF though18:45
holsteinwhat i suggest is... open a terminal and launch the application firefox from the terminal18:45
ScG^DedicatedI tried18:45
holsteinyou'll get error output18:45
ScG^DedicatedI typed what I got18:45
holsteinScG^Dedicated: thats not how i read it18:45
holsteinScG^Dedicated: open a terminal ... type fire and then hit tab18:46
ScG^Dedicated/usr/bin/firefox: 1: /user/bin/firefox: which: Permission denied18:46
ScG^Dedicatedok18:46
ScG^Dedicatedsame as what I posted earlier18:46
ScG^Dedicatedpermission denied18:46
holsteinso, you've messed up your user permissions somehow18:47
holsteinnot sure, but you could trace back through what all you have done and "undo" it18:47
holsteinOR, just reinstall, and come here *before* doing *anything*18:47
ScG^Dedicatedapparmor can change user permissions?18:47
ScG^Dedicatedhehe18:47
Unit193You could try to purge and reinstall firefox, but why do you need AppArmor?18:49
Unit193Also, 1204 is beta at best, so may not have that working yet.18:50
ScG^DedicatedI am following the security stickies on the ubuntu forum18:50
ScG^Dedicatedif you can be safer then safe with just a few adjustions why not? :)18:51
Unit193If it causes more problems than it solves, why? But anywho, you could try that, or temp disable apparmor and see if that fixes18:51
frankv01It appears that according to the wiki I've missed the ubuntu beginners team meeting that was / is currently listed on the wiki? is that right?18:52
Unit193frankv01: That would be correct, except I don't think there was one since everyone missed it. :P18:53
ScG^Dedicatedlol18:54
Unit193ScG^Dedicated: You could ask about it in #ubuntu+1, and if apparmor is working in general, just remember to add alll details if you do go for that option.18:54
frankv01ha, ok -- at least I'm not alone. How often are those held. I really meant to attend that.18:54
Unit193I also missed it. :P18:54
Unit193About once a month.18:54
frankv01k, I'll keep an eye out. Thanks.18:55
Unit193frankv01: Should be in the topic of the team channel.18:55
frankv01I noticed that.18:57
ScG^Dedicatedholstein and Unit193: I've fixed the Firefox problem by disabling the Firefox profiles, sad thing is that I have no idea why adding the profile messed everything up19:04
Unit193Firefox isn't as easy to setup in AppArmor as other programs.19:05
ScG^Dedicatedwell I see AppArmor as pretty advanced stuff anyway :)19:06
ScG^DedicatedI might check out SeLinux too to see if it's any easier19:07
hobgoblinScG^Dedicated: you seen this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=100890619:10
ScG^Dedicatedyes19:10
ScG^Dedicatedthat is what I used19:10
ScG^Dedicatedcreate firefox profile19:10
ScG^Dedicatedboom19:10
ScG^DedicatedxD19:10
hobgoblinbodhi_zazen is the guy to talk to when he's about and got time19:11
ScG^DedicatedI did: sudo genprof firefox and since then it stopped working19:11
ScG^DedicatedThis will generate a "basic" profile for Firefox and place it into complain mode. You will be able to run Firefox and any violations of the profile will be logged.19:12
ScG^Dedicatedwell that did not work for me :P19:12
ScG^Dedicatedbodhi_zazen you here by any chance?19:56
