[00:13] <johnny77> I'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.
[00:15] <jalcine> johnny77: did you install the MBR?
[00:16] <johnny77> jalcine: not sure. I assumed that Unetbootin installed what I needed to boot from the USB drive.
[00:16] <johnny77> jalcine: that is what it is supposed to do right?
[00:16] <jalcine> tbh, I thought it only downloaded the ISO onto a medium.
[00:16] <jalcine> I don't know about adding the bootloader.
[00:17] <Unit193> unetbooting *should* have taken care of that, yes.
[00:17] <johnny77> How do I check?
[00:46] <Culiforge> I 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?
[01:13] <mysteriousdarren> Culiforge: what was the error code?
[01:14] <Culiforge> mysteriousdarren: 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 255
[01:16] <Culiforge> mysteriousdarren: looking at a help blog now that suggests 'dpkg --force all --remove' not sure what it does but it doesn't sound prudent....
[01:22] <Culiforge> mysteriousdarren: here's full output http://paste.ubuntu.com/872380/
[01:38] <mysteriousdarren> Culiforge: I am trying to figure it out...try #ubuntu to get more answers as well.
[01:40] <Culiforge> mysteriousdarren: I installed same package on 11.10 with no problems.. this package installing on 10.04 (which it was originally written for)
[01:41] <Culiforge> mysteriousdarren: ... if that helps any
[02:14] <mysteriousdarren> I still can't figure it out try #ubuntu
[02:17] <Culiforge> mysteriousdarren: righto, thanks for looking into it.. i'm off to bed.. work tomorrow.. twisted back can't sit at computer any longer.. arrrrrghhhh. nite all!
[02:24] <mysteriousdarren> nite!
[07:27] <zeech> Hi, 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.
[07:33] <scriptwarlock> automount the windows drive?
[07:33] <zeech> yes, that is what I want to do.
[07:34] <scriptwarlock> zeech, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[07:36] <zeech> ah, thanks scriptwarlock
[12:12] <Silverlion> hey there! I need Ubuntu-Users to test a new software ;) who wants to?

[16:56] <ScG^Dedicated> anyone here that could help me with a problem that I have in AppArmor in Ubuntu 12.04?
[16:59] <IAmNotThatGuy> ScG^Dedicated, Kindly explain about it. however, I would prefer suggesting you to ask in #ubuntu+1
[16:59] <ScG^Dedicated> Then I shall inform there :)
[17:02] <IAmNotThatGuy> ScG^Dedicated, Do not ask to ask questions. Just ask them =] see the topic here =]
[17:03] <ScG^Dedicated> roger :)
[18:09] <ScG^Dedicated> IAmNotThatGuy: mind to help me since it seems no one else is able to help me :)
[18:09] <ScG^Dedicated> in 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] <ScG^Dedicated> ohh it didn't paste everything lol
[18:10] <ScG^Dedicated> in 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? :)
[18:12] <holstein> ScG^Dedicated: i would remove the firefox config from /home ... you can also create another user and test
[18:14] <ScG^Dedicated> well I want to have a firefox profile
[18:15] <ScG^Dedicated> it's just that even with a default profile it does not seem to work
[18:15] <ScG^Dedicated> while it should of course :)
[18:15] <holstein> ScG^Dedicated: cool.. how did it work when you removed the config?
[18:15] <ScG^Dedicated> I haven't removed it yet
[18:15] <ScG^Dedicated> but before I made the profile everything was working fine
[18:15] <holstein> OK.. well, let me know when you remove that, and test running firefox, and we can go from there
[18:16] <ScG^Dedicated> alright
[18:16] <Sidewinder1> ScG^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^Dedicated> I need two things: #1 music # I need to look up how to remove it so brb ^^
[18:17] <ScG^Dedicated> Sidewinder1: 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 now
[18:19] <Sidewinder1> ScG^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 though
[18:33] <ScG^Dedicated> holstein: I'm sorry but I cannot find the right way to remove the profile
[18:33] <ScG^Dedicated> it says a long command with profile.name (as example) but if I use firefox.sh nothing happens or it cannot find the file
[18:34] <holstein> ScG^Dedicated: you can also make a user account temporarily
[18:34] <ScG^Dedicated> a new ubuntu user account?
[18:35] <holstein> in your home directory, there will be a .firefox or .mozilla
[18:35] <holstein> you just rename that to *.backup or whatever
[18:36] <ScG^Dedicated> I called it .mozillabackup
[18:37] <ScG^Dedicated> tried to boot firefox but still not booting
[18:37] <holstein> ScG^Dedicated: are you up to date with backups?
[18:37] <holstein> open a terminal and run firefox from there, and see what messages happen
[18:38] <ScG^Dedicated> it'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 OS
[18:41] <ScG^Dedicated> /usr/bin/firefox: 1: /user/bin/firefox: which: Permission denied
[18:41] <holstein> im talking about system updates
[18:41] <holstein> using the update manger, or whatever
[18:42] <ScG^Dedicated> nope updating now :)
[18:42] <holstein> i would just install it on metal, and go for it
[18:42] <ScG^Dedicated> on metal?
[18:42] <holstein> migrating thta install from VM to metal is *not* all that trivial anyways
[18:42] <ScG^Dedicated> lol
[18:42] <holstein> ScG^Dedicated: on the hardware, not in VM
[18:44] <ScG^Dedicated> well 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 truecrypt
[18:44] <ScG^Dedicated> VM is perfect to try all of that
[18:44] <holstein> you can do that where ever you like
[18:44] <holstein> im just saying, what are you going to do to move that out of VM to the hardware?
[18:44] <ScG^Dedicated> well yes but if I mess it up I have to reïnstall again
[18:45] <ScG^Dedicated> I am not going to transfer it, I will do it all over again
[18:45] <holstein> for me, it takes about 8 or so minutes to reinstall...
[18:45] <ScG^Dedicated> whow 8 mins
[18:45] <ScG^Dedicated> that's fast
[18:45] <holstein> you *should* figure out what you have dont to break FF though
[18:45] <holstein> what i suggest is... open a terminal and launch the application firefox from the terminal
[18:45] <ScG^Dedicated> I tried
[18:45] <holstein> you'll get error output
[18:45] <ScG^Dedicated> I typed what I got
[18:45] <holstein> ScG^Dedicated: thats not how i read it
[18:46] <holstein> ScG^Dedicated: open a terminal ... type fire and then hit tab
[18:46] <ScG^Dedicated> /usr/bin/firefox: 1: /user/bin/firefox: which: Permission denied
[18:46] <ScG^Dedicated> ok
[18:46] <ScG^Dedicated> same as what I posted earlier
[18:46] <ScG^Dedicated> permission denied
[18:47] <holstein> so, you've messed up your user permissions somehow
[18:47] <holstein> not sure, but you could trace back through what all you have done and "undo" it
[18:47] <holstein> OR, just reinstall, and come here *before* doing *anything*
[18:47] <ScG^Dedicated> apparmor can change user permissions?
[18:47] <ScG^Dedicated> hehe
[18:49] <Unit193> You could try to purge and reinstall firefox, but why do you need AppArmor?
[18:50] <Unit193> Also, 1204 is beta at best, so may not have that working yet.
[18:50] <ScG^Dedicated> I am following the security stickies on the ubuntu forum
[18:51] <ScG^Dedicated> if you can be safer then safe with just a few adjustions why not? :)
[18:51] <Unit193> If it causes more problems than it solves, why? But anywho, you could try that, or temp disable apparmor and see if that fixes
[18:52] <frankv01> It 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?
[18:53] <Unit193> frankv01: That would be correct, except I don't think there was one since everyone missed it. :P
[18:54] <ScG^Dedicated> lol
[18:54] <Unit193> ScG^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] <frankv01> ha, ok -- at least I'm not alone. How often are those held. I really meant to attend that.
[18:54] <Unit193> I also missed it. :P
[18:54] <Unit193> About once a month.
[18:55] <frankv01> k, I'll keep an eye out. Thanks.
[18:55] <Unit193> frankv01: Should be in the topic of the team channel.
[18:57] <frankv01> I noticed that.
[19:04] <ScG^Dedicated> holstein 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 up
[19:05] <Unit193> Firefox isn't as easy to setup in AppArmor as other programs.
[19:06] <ScG^Dedicated> well I see AppArmor as pretty advanced stuff anyway :)
[19:07] <ScG^Dedicated> I might check out SeLinux too to see if it's any easier
[19:10] <hobgoblin> ScG^Dedicated: you seen this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1008906
[19:10] <ScG^Dedicated> yes
[19:10] <ScG^Dedicated> that is what I used
[19:10] <ScG^Dedicated> create firefox profile
[19:10] <ScG^Dedicated> boom
[19:10] <ScG^Dedicated> xD
[19:11] <hobgoblin> bodhi_zazen is the guy to talk to when he's about and got time
[19:11] <ScG^Dedicated> I did: sudo genprof firefox and since then it stopped working
[19:12] <ScG^Dedicated> This 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^Dedicated> well that did not work for me :P
[19:56] <ScG^Dedicated> bodhi_zazen you here by any chance?
