MertenNorI just installed Ubunto Server ubuntu 12.04.4 server Iand I get this when it boots up: http://i.imgur.com/p4IjLaj.jpg?111:22
MertenNoranyone ? xD11:25
MertenNorI just installed Ubunto Server ubuntu 12.04.4 server Iand I get this when it boots up: http://i.imgur.com/p4IjLaj.jpg?112:16
JanCMertenNor: please don't repeat questions all the time  :)12:17
JanCsomething makes the kernel crash12:17
JanCwhen it tries to mount the root filesystem, I think, but I'm no expert12:17
JanCmaybe earlier lines on the screen could help, not sure12:18
MertenNoris there a way I can copy the boot sequence.. ?12:19
MertenNoror whatever it is called xD12:19
JanCif it happens very early during boot (before logs can be written to disk), you'd probably need a serial console for that (but the kernel developers are more likely to be able to help with that)12:22
JanCalso, isn't that a laptop?12:22
MertenNorJanC yeah its a laptop.. xD I know12:24
JanCwell, 12.04 did already have generic kernel, so shouldn't matter12:25
JanC... I think12:25
MertenNorok.. ? I know knwo xD12:25
JanCMertenNor: did you also try with other Ubuntu versions?  maybe even older 12.04 or with the older/original 12.04 kernel?12:30
JanCoh, an maybe also test the hardware (memory, disk)12:30
yeats!bootchart | MertenNor12:31
ubottuMertenNor: bootchart charts your machine at boot time, to install >> sudo apt-get install bootchart << the graphic is in /var/log/bootchart after the next reboot12:31
MertenNorI have only tried 12.0412:31
JanCyeats: not very useful if the kernel crashes  :)12:31
MertenNorhow do I do that ?12:31
MertenNoris there a guie anywere ?12:32
MertenNorguide*12:32
MertenNorill brb (15-20 min) or so.. dinner..12:33
MertenNorill be in the channel.. so just post and Ill read later12:33
JanCguide for what?12:33
yeatsJanC: oops - didn't have full context ;-)12:34
JanC<MertenNor> I just installed Ubunto Server ubuntu 12.04.4 server Iand I get this when it boots up: http://i.imgur.com/p4IjLaj.jpg?112:35
JanCyeats: ^^^12:35
yeatsJanC: thanks12:36
yeatslooks like a hardware problem12:36
JanChardware problem or a kernel bug12:36
JanCor maybe even a configuration/installation problem (as, apparently, the installer did boot)12:38
* yeats would rule out the former before trying to chase down the latter12:38

ruben23hitsujiTMO..?14:32
hitsujiTMOruben23: ahh, try: setterm -blank 10             again then14:32
hitsujiTMOruben23: as it, it just works for that session, so if you're having trouble switch to another tty14:34
ruben23hitsujiTMO: still there14:47
ruben23the monitor still shuts off..14:47
hitsujiTMOruben23: even on another tty?14:48

TJ-ruben23: By investigating the system, reading documentation and investigating useful diagnosis tools15:36
ruben23setterm -blank 0, this command i already set - the monitor that turns off is the local monitor connected diredctly to the server..15:39

KristianDKHi there. I'm trying to install `language-pack-en` on a brand new ubuntu server installation (on ec2) right after apt-get update. I get E: Unable to locate package language-pack-en - is there something obvious that could be wrong?19:58
KristianDKI did check /etc/apt/sources.list19:58
TJ-KristianDK: Try "apt-cache policy language-pack-en"20:04
joshu__how do you debug an init.d script which works fine when I execute it directly /etc/init.d/myscript start, but doesn't execute on boot?20:27
TJ-joshu__: add logging to it in some way, it probably already calls the library log_message functions, you can add more or enable some VERBOSE or DEBUG switch in the script that already does more reporting20:31
joshu__TJ- I have this in the case start switch "log_action_msg "Starting" but I don't know where to see this log message20:32
TJ-joshu__: It should be syslog20:33
TJ-joshu__: But if I recall correctly, most of those log messages go to the console at boot-time20:34
joshuis grep -r word / the best way to search for any file contaiing "word" ?22:19
