[00:51] <roficimo> Hi, I've run into the problem where after upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 my boot up freezes at checking battery state. I've tried to follow some of the online fixes, but I haven't had any success.
[00:53] <roficimo> Hi, I haven't had any success with the online fixes for checking battery state freeze when going to 12.04 from 11.10
[07:48] <Phryq> hey

[12:54] <jaspreet> I need a help
[12:55] <holstein> jaspreet: ask, and we will see if a volunteer can indeed help you
[12:55] <jaspreet> I got a problem in ubuntu 12.04
[12:55] <jaspreet> Continuing will remount your / filesystem in read/write mode and mount any other filesystem defined in /etc/fstab
[12:56] <holstein> jaspreet: whats that?
[12:56] <holstein> a message?
[12:56] <holstein> when do you see it?
[12:56] <philinux> holstein: maybe he's trying fsck on mounted file system
[12:57] <jaspreet> actually 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 computer
[12:58] <holstein> jaspreet: i would try a coulpe things related to the graphics with a live CD
[12:58] <holstein> !nomodeset
[12:58] <jaspreet> ok
[12:58] <holstein> you might need to reinstall, depending on what you have done to try and "fix" your issue
[12:59] <holstein> jaspreet: feel fre and elaborate and one of the volunteers can help
[12:59] <jaspreet> actually before I installed ubuntu 11.10
[13:00] <jaspreet> den one day ubuntu gave a message " ubunable to mount / filesystem"
[13:00] <jaspreet> then after lot of efforts I format my computer and reinstall 12.04
[13:00] <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 conti
[13:01] <jaspreet> after that black screen which shows many errors of errors. Here is the snapshot of that errors: http://www.uploadgeek.com/share-84FE_5154020C.html
[13:01] <holstein> jaspreet: i dont follow.. before you installed ubuntu you got a message from ubuntu?
[13:02] <jaspreet> Firstly I instaled 11.10
[13:02] <holstein> i would test with a live CD.. if the live CD is running fine then you might want to test the hardware
[13:03] <jaspreet> During that I got  message  ubunable to mount / filesystem
[13:03] <holstein> you could have a bad hard drive causing those errors.. or a bad filesystem
[13:03] <holstein> !fsck
[13:03] <jaspreet> live CD is working fine on my computer
[13:04] <holstein> jaspreet: so, if the live CD is fine, you know ubuntu *is* capable of running on the system
[13:04] <holstein> you can aim your troubleshooting in that direction
[13:05] <jaspreet> @ubot93 where should I apply the command? In recovery mode?
[13:06] <holstein> jaspreet: that was from me
[13:06] <holstein> jaspreet: ubot93 is a bot.. i suggested that when you said you were getting a black boot
[13:06] <holstein> but, you are not
[13:06] <holstein> jaspreet: i would test the hard drive, and run fsck
[13:07] <jaspreet> where should i run fsck
[13:07] <holstein> jaspreet: i would ignore nomodeset since its *not* a graphics driver issue
[13:07] <holstein> from above ^^
[13:07] <holstein> The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now"  will force a reboot and a filesystem check;
[13:08] <jaspreet> ok I need to restart my computer
[13:08] <jaspreet> I will apply these commans then
[13:08] <jaspreet> i will be back
[13:31] <jaspreet> hi
[13:33] <jaspreet> i 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 filesystem
[13:34] <jaspreet> please help me
[13:34] <jaspreet> #ubuntu
[13:38] <holstein> jaspreet: ?
[13:38] <holstein> jaspreet: so, the last issue is fine then?
[13:39] <jaspreet> no I forgot to tell you Whenever I try any coomand I got a message: Read only filesystem
[13:39] <holstein> jaspreet: http://askubuntu.com/questions/105793/why-has-my-file-system-turned-read-only-after-updates
[13:39] <holstein> i agree.. "failing hard disk"
[13:39] <holstein> jaspreet: i would test my hard drive..i would want that test to take over an hour
[13:40] <jaspreet> how to test that
[13:40] <holstein> jaspreet: sometimes, there are tests in the bios.. i use the ultimate boot cd, or smart tests from an ubuntu live CD
[13:41] <jaspreet> ok
[13:42] <jaspreet> Ok I will come back after that test
[13:43] <jaspreet> please stay there if possible
[13:43] <jaspreet> If my problem is solved I will be back to thank you
[13:43] <jaspreet> :)
[13:44] <holstein> jaspreet: if you have a bad hard drive, there is nothing a volunteer here can do
[13:44] <holstein> jaspreet: you can try #ubuntu if this channel is not active
[13:45] <jaspreet> ok I need to reboot my computer for test
[13:45] <jaspreet> lets see what happen
[13:57] <raub> What would make a 12.04LTS box start to send a ton of dhcprequests to the dhcp server?
[13:57] <raub> Only one machine is doing that
[13:58] <raub> It is sending them at least 3x a minute
[14:04] <geirha> perhaps the dhcp server is out of leases?
[14:05] <raub> How to find out? It too is an ubuntu box
[14:05] <raub> I do not think we ran out of ips though
[14:06] <raub> The range for the dhcp is 100-200, and we have at most 40 machines here
[14:07] <geirha> could still be exhausted. Might be some ips leased that is not in use, but has not expired yet
[14:07] <raub> Good point
[14:08] <raub> The range =  192.168.11.100 192.168.11.220
[14:09] <raub> Lovely: I did fgrep 192.168.11.204 /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases|wc -l and got 44 back
[14:10] <raub> Shouldn't I have just one lease with that IP, whether is is being used or not?
[14:43] <geirha> Sure it only contains active leases?
[14:43] <geirha> On a side note, grep can count lines too, with the -c flag
[15:07] <raub> geirha: you are right
[15:07] <raub> I did awk '$1 == "lease"' /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases |sort|uniq|wc -l
[15:08] <raub> and got 210
[15:08] <raub> Well, that dhcp server is dealing ips for 3 different subnets
[15:08] <raub> Would each of them affect the other?
[15:11] <raub> Ok, i refined my search
[15:11] <raub> For the subnet in question, 119
[15:15] <geirha> is the client still pounding?
