| vlp | i got "fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found " when trying " ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fsck /dev/sda2 " | 12:27 |
| geirha | You need the ntfsprogs package iirc. Though note that you can't fix ntfs filesystems in linux | 12:41 |
| geirha | no, strike that, it's the package ntfs-3g that installs fsck.ntfs | 12:43 |
| geirha | It should've been installed by default though... | 12:43 |
| vlp | @<geirha> i am using Live CD (12.10) to over come |"Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init." error for my Ubuntu 11.04 (is a Dual boot on Windows Vista) | 12:53 |
| geirha | Ubuntu installed inside windows? (wubi) | 12:57 |
| geirha | Then you should boot windows and do the filesystem check from there | 12:57 |
| vlp | @<geirha> my ubuntu is 11.04 version. shoud i use same version of Live CD to over come "Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init." error? | 12:59 |
| vlp | i am using 12.10 latest version of Live CD. | 12:59 |
| geirha | no, 12.10 should suffice, but there's no point in running fsck on ntfs partitions from Ubuntu | 13:01 |
| vlp | but there is one "FAT 16 " file system showing when i tried "sudo fdisk -l" as /dev/sda2 * 20467712 254701567 117116928 6 FAT16 | 13:04 |
| vlp | so i am using sudo fsck /dev/sda2 | 13:05 |
| geirha | what other partitions does it have? | 13:05 |
| geirha | FAT16, that's probably a windows recovery partition (or whatever it's called) | 13:06 |
| geirha | At any rate, it's not related to your Ubuntu install | 13:06 |

| vlp | cant this solution at (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1705423) for "Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init." error for Dual boot Ubuntu on Windows system? | 13:09 |
| geirha | vlp: Well, does fdisk -l list any linux partitions? | 13:12 |
| vlp | no there is no Linux partitions. | 13:13 |
| geirha | Then either A) Ubuntu is installed in windows, or B) The Ubuntu partitions are gone | 13:13 |
| geirha | If A, boot into windows and run a filesystem check on the drive Ubuntu is installed on. C:, D: or whichever | 13:14 |
| vlp | I installed Ubuntu last year with Wubi in Windows | 13:15 |
| vlp | <geirha> at this http://askubuntu.com/questions/109905/how-to-get-rid-of-ubuntus-no-init-found-error-message-using-windows?rq=1 URL its mentioned use Live CD | 13:20 |
| Justaguy | Good morning,,anyone help with blank desktop in use | 13:47 |
| geirha | That solution does not apply to wubi install | 13:47 |
| Justaguy | Blank desktop wubi install? | 13:48 |
| === Guest32994 is now known as Phryq | ||
| geirha | Justaguy: My previous message was not meant for you :) | 13:52 |
| geirha | What do you mean by "blank desktop" ? | 13:52 |
| Justaguy | Wubi install no desktop after 2 install,have correct video drivers,had icons untill about 3 reboots during first install,now just blank after login | 13:53 |
| Justaguy | Nothing on desktop just wallpaper | 13:53 |
| Justaguy | Have window showing x nautilus after f5 key | 13:54 |
| geirha | Justaguy: Hm. On the login-screen, try selecting a different session | 13:55 |
| Justaguy | Did guest same results | 13:55 |
| Justaguy | Gateway net book. Have updated and wireless working from first install | 13:57 |
| Justaguy | Mouse keyboard work | 13:57 |
| geirha | In the little box where your name is listed and there's a password box, there should be a small ubuntu icon. Click that and select one of the other options; e.g. Ubuntu 2D (or something like that. I don't remember what options you'll typically have) | 13:58 |
| geirha | It sounds like your window manager has been fully or partially uninstalled | 13:58 |
| Justaguy | Will look for that just shut off waiting for reboot | 13:58 |
| geirha | Any error messages and such are written to ~/.xsession-errors it may be useful to look at that | 14:00 |
| Justaguy | At login,,my name,guest,remote. ,top bar Wireless sound,power button | 14:01 |
| Justaguy | Rookie at command need assit with that | 14:03 |
| Justaguy | This is second install, desktop shows things untill installing AIT video driver,,untill that desktop very broken up at all res | 14:05 |
| Justaguy | Lucky to find and install driver and regular updates | 14:07 |
| Justaguy | Maybe I should do 12.4 instead of 12.10 | 14:09 |
| Justaguy | I can change desktop and get to setting | 14:11 |
| Justaguy | Have tried differant thing still no icons on left, have moved mouse over all edges | 14:12 |
| Justaguy | 1024 768 display won't allow to change | 14:15 |
| Justaguy | Gerha thanks I just going to try 12.4 | 14:22 |

| seanwash | Hello, would someone be able to help me with my public key issue? I have created one, but when I use ssh-add -l it says there are no keys. I try adding it and w/o sudo and I get permission denied but when I use sudo it says that I can't connect to my agent. | 14:30 |
| holstein | seanwash: what are you trying to do? password-less ssh access? | 14:32 |
| seanwash | setup a public key for using git with github | 14:32 |
| holstein | i think that will be different. and github specific | 14:33 |
| holstein | seanwash: are you following a guide? | 14:33 |
| seanwash | holstein I have it setup where I can ssh in w/o a password already. That's why I'm confused as to thy this isn't working | 14:33 |
| seanwash | holstein Nope, I've done it before on my local computer. The only reason it's not working for me is because my box isn't sending over a key to them when I ssh | 14:33 |
| seanwash | holstein I wonder if it has to do with agent forwarding? | 14:34 |
| holstein | seanwash: i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys and some other resources to make a "bigger" key | 14:34 |
| seanwash | holstein right, i've done all that. Generated the key, copied it over to github. It's just like it's not able to send it when I ssh. Why would I get two different messages with and without sudo? | 14:36 |
| holstein | seanwash: i would expect github to have specific requirements | 14:37 |
| holstein | seanwash: i wouldnt expect this to be like setting up ssh keys on a few machines that you "own" | 14:38 |
| seanwash | holstein I don't understand how it would be different though. I setup keys on my mac and boom ssh bliss. I setup keys on my ubuntu box it acts crazy. I'm not trying to get any different type of functionality out of the ubuntu box. just to be able to git pull code into the server | 14:39 |
| holstein | seanwash: i havent setup git... i can only mirror your comments.. i set up ssh keys, no problem, on machines that i own | 14:40 |
| seanwash | holstein ah. I did an ssh -v and this is what I got: http://cl.ly/text/2i3O1j1l1j3x | 14:40 |
| holstein | seanwash: i would just go through the errors.. "Roaming not allowed by server" is important i bet | 14:41 |
| seanwash | holstein haha, yeah | 14:41 |
| holstein | Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts (/home/seanwash/.ssh/known_hosts). seems relevant | 14:42 |
| seanwash | holstein I'm new to the whole VPS thing. so. many. headaches. | 14:42 |
| holstein | seanwash: i have heard it can be... take as many things out of the equation as possible | 14:43 |
| seanwash | holstein What I'm thinking now is that the permissions on ~/.ssh are jacked up and that's why it can't add it to the known hosts. I think that's why ubuntu isn't sending a key because it's not trusting the host | 14:44 |
| geirha | If you've run ssh-add or ssh-keygen or similar with sudo, that would explain why it fails | 14:44 |
| seanwash | geirha expound? | 14:44 |
| geirha | with sudo, .ssh would be created with root as owner | 14:45 |
| seanwash | geirha (if you don't mind) | 14:45 |
| seanwash | ok, so can I sudo chown user to give the user back permissions? | 14:45 |
| geirha | and sudo doesn't change HOME to root's homedir by default | 14:45 |
| geirha | ls -ld ~/.ssh | 14:45 |
| seanwash | (I recently learned that SUDO means switch user do, and that it's not just a way to force the computer to do things, so your answer makes total sense now.) | 14:46 |
| geirha | just make sure .ssh is owned by you and have mode 700 | 14:47 |
| seanwash | drwx------ 2 700 seanwash 4096 Nov 26 08:32 /home/seanwash/.ssh | 14:48 |
| geirha | it lists owner as 700... | 14:48 |
| seanwash | yep | 14:48 |
| seanwash | I ran a chown seanwash on ~/.ssh | 14:48 |
| geirha | ah, you've run chown 700 instead of chmod 700 :P | 14:48 |
| seanwash | *facepalm | 14:49 |
| geirha | sudo chown "$USER:" ~/.ssh | 14:49 |
| geirha | also make sure all files inside .ssh is owned by you | 14:49 |
| seanwash | so, chown = change owner and chmod = change (permissions)? | 14:50 |
| geirha | change mode aka permission bits, yes | 14:51 |
| seanwash | I got it! | 14:51 |
| seanwash | I had to change the owner of var/www which is where I'm keeping my web apps | 14:51 |
| seanwash | git clone just ran successfully | 14:51 |
| geirha | http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Permissions is a good page to learn about UNIX permissions | 14:52 |
| seanwash | thank you for your help | 14:52 |
