[01:01] <hallyn> rharper: hey, just checking - have you had any time to look at the uvtool-ification of auto-upgrade-testing package?  (I haven't, but wondering where to put it on my list)
[02:46] <rharper> hallyn: I've not yet looked, I read your patch, but been blocked on other tasks
[03:02] <hallyn> rharper: ok, thanks - ttyl

[11:22] <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?1
[11:25] <MertenNor> anyone ? xD
[12:16] <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?1
[12:17] <JanC> MertenNor: please don't repeat questions all the time  :)
[12:17] <JanC> something makes the kernel crash
[12:17] <JanC> when it tries to mount the root filesystem, I think, but I'm no expert
[12:18] <JanC> maybe earlier lines on the screen could help, not sure
[12:19] <MertenNor> is there a way I can copy the boot sequence.. ?
[12:19] <MertenNor> or whatever it is called xD
[12:22] <JanC> if 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] <JanC> also, isn't that a laptop?
[12:24] <MertenNor> JanC yeah its a laptop.. xD I know
[12:25] <JanC> well, 12.04 did already have generic kernel, so shouldn't matter
[12:25] <JanC> ... I think
[12:25] <MertenNor> ok.. ? I know knwo xD
[12:30] <JanC> MertenNor: did you also try with other Ubuntu versions?  maybe even older 12.04 or with the older/original 12.04 kernel?
[12:30] <JanC> oh, an maybe also test the hardware (memory, disk)
[12:31] <yeats> !bootchart | MertenNor
[12:31] <MertenNor> I have only tried 12.04
[12:31] <JanC> yeats: not very useful if the kernel crashes  :)
[12:31] <MertenNor> how do I do that ?
[12:32] <MertenNor> is there a guie anywere ?
[12:32] <MertenNor> guide*
[12:33] <MertenNor> ill brb (15-20 min) or so.. dinner..
[12:33] <MertenNor> ill be in the channel.. so just post and Ill read later
[12:33] <JanC> guide for what?
[12:34] <yeats> JanC: oops - didn't have full context ;-)
 I just installed Ubunto Server ubuntu 12.04.4 server Iand I get this when it boots up: http://i.imgur.com/p4IjLaj.jpg?1
[12:35] <JanC> yeats: ^^^
[12:36] <yeats> JanC: thanks
[12:36] <yeats> looks like a hardware problem
[12:36] <JanC> hardware problem or a kernel bug
[12:38] <JanC> or 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 latter

[14:20] <ruben23> hi guys anyone can help i have a ubuntu server but i wanted not to turn off the monitor..how do i set this. Thanks
[14:21] <ruben23> any idea guys..?
[14:23] <hitsujiTMO> ruben23: try: setterm -powersave off -blank 0
[14:24] <ruben23> setterm: cannot (un)set powersave mode: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[14:24] <ruben23> thats the error output..
[14:25] <hitsujiTMO> ruben23: do you have an xserver instlled?
[14:25] <ruben23>  hitsujiTMO: this will not work if i dont have x server installed, does it really need an x server installed..?
[14:26] <hitsujiTMO> ruben23: no it doesn't work if you DO have an xserver running :P
[14:26] <hitsujiTMO> ruben23: try just: setterm -blank 0
[14:28] <hitsujiTMO> ruben23: there's also this option http://serverfault.com/questions/137728/how-do-i-permanently-disable-linuxs-console-screen-saver-system-wide
[14:28] <ruben23> nothing happens now - just blank after i enter
[14:29] <ruben23> would this work now..? since when i input setterm -blank 0 <----------- no error just blank
[14:32] <ruben23> hitsujiTMO..?
[14:32] <hitsujiTMO> ruben23: ahh, try: setterm -blank 10             again then
[14:34] <hitsujiTMO> ruben23: as it, it just works for that session, so if you're having trouble switch to another tty
[14:47] <ruben23> hitsujiTMO: still there
[14:47] <ruben23> the monitor still shuts off..
[14:48] <hitsujiTMO> ruben23: even on another tty?
[14:49] <hitsujiTMO> ruben23: you should still be able to blindly type: setterm -blank 1
[14:49] <hitsujiTMO> ruben23: you should still be able to blindly type: setterm -blank 10
[15:10] <TJ-> ruben23: how about "setterm -powersave off" ? see "man setterm"
[15:33] <ruben23> TJ-:  hi i tried that command already..
[15:33] <ruben23> but nothing happen yet
[15:33] <ruben23> any concrete solutions somehow please
[15:35] <TJ-> ruben23: You first need to identify at which level the screen is blanking... is it the monitor DPMS, or a higher level?
[15:35] <ruben23> how do identify this..? please help
[15:36] <TJ-> ruben23: By investigating the system, reading documentation and investigating useful diagnosis tools
[15:39] <ruben23> setterm -blank 0, this command i already set - the monitor that turns off is the local monitor connected diredctly to the server..
[18:23] <ruben23> hi there guys i have ubuntu desktop when i plug in the headset the mic have very load echo sound very bad quality audio any idea how to correct this..?
[19:58] <KristianDK> Hi 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] <KristianDK> I did check /etc/apt/sources.list
[20:04] <TJ-> KristianDK: Try "apt-cache policy language-pack-en"
[20:27] <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?
[20:31] <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 reporting
[20:32] <joshu__> TJ- I have this in the case start switch "log_action_msg "Starting" but I don't know where to see this log message
[20:33] <TJ-> joshu__: It should be syslog
[20:34] <TJ-> joshu__: But if I recall correctly, most of those log messages go to the console at boot-time
[22:19] <joshu> is grep -r word / the best way to search for any file contaiing "word" ?
[23:08] <sarthor_> how to know in command prompt that my Linux is 32bit or 64bit
[23:11] <bekks> sarthor_: file /bin/bash and uname -a
[23:12] <sarthor_> bekks: uname -a
[23:12] <sarthor_> Linux bbbutton 2.6.32-38-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4 11:13:04 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
[23:12] <sarthor_> , is this 32bit?
[23:13] <TJ-> "uname -m"
[23:14] <sarthor_> TJ-: arch did same, thanks
[23:15] <sarthor_> TJ-: but it says i686, not 32bit
[23:15] <TJ-> You have to know your architectures :)
[23:17] <TJ-> If you have "dpkg-architecture" installed (package dpkg-dev) you can look at DEB_{BUILD,HOST}_ARCH_BITS
