holsteinjaspreet: ask, and we will see if a volunteer can indeed help you12:55
jaspreetI got a problem in ubuntu 12.0412:55
jaspreetContinuing will remount your / filesystem in read/write mode and mount any other filesystem defined in /etc/fstab12:55
holsteinjaspreet: whats that?12:56
holsteina message?12:56
holsteinwhen do you see it?12:56
philinuxholstein: maybe he's trying fsck on mounted file system12:56
jaspreetactually there is a problem with hard disk. When I install ubuntu 12.04 n after boort got a black screen but in recovery mode gave me above message.  Windows 7 is working fine on my computer12:57
holsteinjaspreet: i would try a coulpe things related to the graphics with a live CD12:58
holstein!nomodeset12:58
ubot93A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter12:58
jaspreetok12:58
holsteinyou might need to reinstall, depending on what you have done to try and "fix" your issue12:58
holsteinjaspreet: feel fre and elaborate and one of the volunteers can help12:59
jaspreetactually before I installed ubuntu 11.1012:59
jaspreetden one day ubuntu gave a message " ubunable to mount / filesystem"13:00
jaspreetthen after lot of efforts I format my computer and reinstall 12.0413:00
jaspreet Once it get started but unable to install any package because i got an error /var/apt/list not in read/write mode. Also got a message of hard disk problem. After reboot I got same problem of unable to mount / filesystem. Then i tried to run it in recovery mode . In that i got a message " Continuing will remount your / filesystem in read/write mode and mount any other filesystem defined in /etc/fstab. Do you wish to conti13:00
jaspreetafter that black screen which shows many errors of errors. Here is the snapshot of that errors: http://www.uploadgeek.com/share-84FE_5154020C.html13:01
holsteinjaspreet: i dont follow.. before you installed ubuntu you got a message from ubuntu?13:01
jaspreetFirstly I instaled 11.1013:02
holsteini would test with a live CD.. if the live CD is running fine then you might want to test the hardware13:02
jaspreetDuring that I got  message  ubunable to mount / filesystem13:03
holsteinyou could have a bad hard drive causing those errors.. or a bad filesystem13:03
holstein!fsck13:03
ubot93fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot13:03
jaspreetlive CD is working fine on my computer13:03
holsteinjaspreet: so, if the live CD is fine, you know ubuntu *is* capable of running on the system13:04
holsteinyou can aim your troubleshooting in that direction13:04
jaspreet@ubot93 where should I apply the command? In recovery mode?13:05
holsteinjaspreet: that was from me13:06
holsteinjaspreet: ubot93 is a bot.. i suggested that when you said you were getting a black boot13:06
holsteinbut, you are not13:06
holsteinjaspreet: i would test the hard drive, and run fsck13:06
jaspreetwhere should i run fsck13:07
holsteinjaspreet: i would ignore nomodeset since its *not* a graphics driver issue13:07
holsteinfrom above ^^13:07
holsteinThe command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now"  will force a reboot and a filesystem check;13:07
jaspreetok I need to restart my computer13:08
jaspreetI will apply these commans then13:08
jaspreeti will be back13:08
jaspreethi13:31
jaspreeti nee hep I got a problem in ubuntu 12.04. whenever I try to instaal any packages or apply sudo commands got a messsage: Read only filesystem13:33
jaspreetplease help me13:34
jaspreet#ubuntu13:34
holsteinjaspreet: ?13:38
holsteinjaspreet: so, the last issue is fine then?13:38
jaspreetno I forgot to tell you Whenever I try any coomand I got a message: Read only filesystem13:39
holsteinjaspreet: http://askubuntu.com/questions/105793/why-has-my-file-system-turned-read-only-after-updates13:39
holsteini agree.. "failing hard disk"13:39
holsteinjaspreet: i would test my hard drive..i would want that test to take over an hour13:39
jaspreethow to test that13:40
holsteinjaspreet: sometimes, there are tests in the bios.. i use the ultimate boot cd, or smart tests from an ubuntu live CD13:40
jaspreetok13:41
jaspreetOk I will come back after that test13:42
jaspreetplease stay there if possible13:43
jaspreetIf my problem is solved I will be back to thank you13:43
jaspreet:)13:43
holsteinjaspreet: if you have a bad hard drive, there is nothing a volunteer here can do13:44
holsteinjaspreet: you can try #ubuntu if this channel is not active13:44
jaspreetok I need to reboot my computer for test13:45
jaspreetlets see what happen13:45
raubWhat would make a 12.04LTS box start to send a ton of dhcprequests to the dhcp server?13:57
raubOnly one machine is doing that13:57
raubIt is sending them at least 3x a minute13:58
geirhaperhaps the dhcp server is out of leases?14:04
raubHow to find out? It too is an ubuntu box14:05
raubI do not think we ran out of ips though14:05
raubThe range for the dhcp is 100-200, and we have at most 40 machines here14:06
geirhacould still be exhausted. Might be some ips leased that is not in use, but has not expired yet14:07
raubGood point14:07
raubThe range =  192.168.11.100 192.168.11.22014:08
raubLovely: I did fgrep 192.168.11.204 /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases|wc -l and got 44 back14:09
raubShouldn't I have just one lease with that IP, whether is is being used or not?14:10
geirhaSure it only contains active leases?14:43
geirhaOn a side note, grep can count lines too, with the -c flag14:43
raubgeirha: you are right15:07
raubI did awk '$1 == "lease"' /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases |sort|uniq|wc -l15:07
rauband got 21015:08
raubWell, that dhcp server is dealing ips for 3 different subnets15:08
raubWould each of them affect the other?15:08
raubOk, i refined my search15:11
raubFor the subnet in question, 11915:11
geirhais the client still pounding?15:15
