Q: Cannot write to sector - boot Ubuntu

So I was in an airport working and I closed my laptop. When I brought it back up again, screen was black so I kill switched. Now when I boot, I get cannot write to sector. Anyone got any ideas? I'm desperate and in an airport with finals week coming up. Thanka

Lucio

1:55 AM

I will need to start using docker :/

Nathan Osman

Docker is nice once you get the hang of it.

Bonus points if you use a service management tool such as Fleet/CoreOS.

@seth or @Oli We need more choices for migration flags.

robobenklein

Anybody got any idea how a network interface could be configured for static IP without /etc/network/interfaces?

Virusboy

you mean like in the terminal?

robobenklein

Specifically askubuntu.com/questions/555608/…

Mateo

~~edit connections, from the network appindicator~~

oh, server...

Virusboy

thats tricky

you will need to man ipconfig

robobenklein

3:38 AM

I chatted it up in another room, but that didn't answer the question it only fixed my problem.

Mateo

iptables?

Virusboy

@mateo how does one mass 4 space in editing?

Seth

@Virusboy probably not happening... Why not just use a custom flag?

robobenklein

Could that manage a network device? I didn't think iptables could do that.

Virusboy

In terms to my question?

or Flagging?

Mateo

3:40 AM

@Mateo @Virusboy do you mean this

Virusboy

if its for my flagging question I did, just why can we not flag to migrate to other than Meta

@mateo no its not iptables

Mateo

bctes.com/nat-linux-iptables.html

Virusboy

@Mateo I thought he was wanting static IPs without going the usual route

robobenklein

My problem is that a network device had been a static IP even with a blank interfaces file...

Virusboy

@seth can I mass 4 space a wall of text?

robobenklein

3:44 AM

I want to know how that is even possible.

Virusboy

your network config is somewhere else it seems

robobenklein

Well if I start the device in the interfaces file, it works as it should.

Well I'll continue to Google for the answer, cya.

Seth

@Virusboy huh?

Virusboy

You'll see it in the peer reviewing

Seth

@Virusboy flagging for migration is what I'm talking about. Hover over the message and it will point to what I am replying to.

Virusboy

3:58 AM

Oh yes, I did make a custom flag. Just find it a bit odd we cannot migrate flag to other SE sites

Seth

well we could if the feature were enabled.. But if it were enabled the close voters would probably start sending junk everywhere, so the powers that be decided not to..

I'm kind of on the fence myeslf.

Virusboy

I would like it if it got mod reviewed before migrating, also this is why I asked about mass indenting

0xF2

Hi folks. First time in chat... is this the only askubuntu room?

Nathan Osman

Yes and no.

It's the only one that virtually everybody uses.

But it is by no means the only one.

Journeyman Geek

@0xF2: There's usually an 'official' site room everyone uses

Virusboy

@JourneymanGeek but this is used most

No Time

Has anyone done an install from minimum (or know if you can do a from source install)?

Journeyman Geek

5:00 AM

This is said official room ;p

No Time

for ubuntu

Journeyman Geek

You can't do a from source

but I've done ubuntu minimal installs before, actually fairly routinely

0xF2

got it. Ty.

Virusboy

you can do a min install from the liveCD

Journeyman Geek

I usually grab the actual minimal cd

No Time

5:01 AM

drats.. ok was just wondering if I could make a new ubuntu for myself

Journeyman Geek

heh

No Time

thats super light

Journeyman Geek

I've done custom builds in the past, for a older system

Virusboy

Gentoo is what your looking for in terms of a source install

No Time

and experiment with further build from scratch.

Virusboy

5:01 AM

I have to warn its time consuming

No Time

@Virusboy i just did arch for this computer, have FreeBSD "upgrading" in a virtual box

Journeyman Geek

@NoTime: What's your constraints?

No Time

I'm on day 2 because you have to hit enter.. (unless you do something else)

Virusboy

@NoTime I have been told Gentoo is form fitting

Journeyman Geek

gentoo is a waste of time in many cases.

Virusboy

5:03 AM

You compile everything

No Time

@JourneymanGeek I am just experimenting honestly. I want to get better I'm on a netbook, so if I could build an image for this.. it would be cool

Journeyman Geek

And if you do, for god's sake build genkernel, no matter what the instructions say

No Time

@Virusboy compiling takes forever for sure..

Virusboy

@JourneymanGeek what do you mean?

Journeyman Geek

@NoTime: ahh. I've done ubuntu minimal + twm before

@Virusboy: the instructions don't tell you to build an x capable kernel.

Virusboy

5:04 AM

Thats kinda a given though

No Time

@JourneymanGeek sorry acronym'd out today what's twm a window manager?

Virusboy

Im going to take a free weekend to Build gentoo

Journeyman Geek

@NoTime: yeah

its about as simple as you can get

No Time

@Virusboy try arch first and be surprised (if you haven't done it before)

Virusboy

how much space will I need?

No Time

5:06 AM

@Virusboy arch is small only what you want basically

you start with "base" system no gui

Journeyman Geek

I may need to get an arch vm up

but so painful.

No Time

@JourneymanGeek whats twm stand for? I have looked at openbox, not sure what all is good.. I think I was going to try openbox on the BSD vm, but I 'might could' try twm to see

Journeyman Geek

I'm trying to get something working - its supposed to be supported on ubuntu, but the only way to install it is via a script that seems broken for either LTS I've tried

@NoTime: tiling window manager/tom's window manager

Twm

twm (Tab Window Manager) is a window manager for the X Window System. Started in 1987 by Tom LaStrange, it has been the standard window manager for the X Window System since version X11R4. The name originally stood for Tom's Window Manager, but the software was renamed Tab Window Manager by the X Consortium when they adopted it in 1989. twm is a re-parenting window manager that provides title bars, shaped windows and icon management. It is highly configurable and extensible. twm was a breakthrough achievement in its time, but it has been largely superseded by other window managers which, unlike...

No Time

@JourneymanGeek i know i have read about tiling and other types.. it makes me think of windows 3.1

Journeyman Geek

oh. T stands for tab, my bad

No Time

5:09 AM

have you tried enlightenment?

@Virusboy if you have virtualbox.. it's probably easiest way to start messing with arch, just because you can read instructions while you configure it

and all the hardware is the same.. the documentation is pretty good..

0xF2

@journeymangeek what's with the interest in TWM? It was boring software even back then.

Journeyman Geek

@0xF2: That's precisely the point.

No Time

just use default?

straight 'X' with clock

@0xF2 what address is that for your name? is it memory address?

Journeyman Geek

@NoTime: straight X with a terminal ;p

0xF2

@JourneymanGeek understood... but there are better boring options. let me see if I can remind myself the name

Journeyman Geek

5:16 AM

then again

I had a ubuntu/cde vm at one point ;p

0xF2

@JourneymanGeek: just a play on my IRC nick, which is F2

No Time

@0xF2 ok was wondering.. I was trying to do hex to dec conversion

@JourneymanGeek I tried ubuntu with enlightenment once.. (installed e17 after had ubuntu installed)

multiple desktop/window managers.. kinda makes system unstable

Journeyman Geek

@NoTime: I tend to run KDE

No Time

@JourneymanGeek I think I may be too slow on this computer to run new KDE.. it's kinda pretty though

Journeyman Geek

lol

I run kde on one of these ark.intel.com/products/81072/…

I also am planning to run a VM on top of that

No Time

5:21 AM

@JourneymanGeek I'm at about 2GB of RAM (max) soldered in.. and I don't want to even try to desolder and put new RAM in

Journeyman Geek

Oh, and I've run KDE in a gig before, core 2 duo

No Time

I have run KDE.. it just feels slower than GNOME

newest Unity a little slower than KDE

12.04 Ubuntu ran exceptionally well. Arch is running pretty well too.

I've run through 4 distros.. and multiple vm's of linux in less than a year

Liking Arch a lot (customizable), Debian was stable, Ubuntu was compatible, Fedora (used for like a couple days) was interesting

abhi

Hi , every one i am using ubuntu 12.04 32 bit my system is not detecting particular wifi called as jung its detecting other wifi but not this one

No Time

@abhi is the SSID being broadcast from the wireless access point?

abhi

sorry i am very new to ubuntu can you please guide me in proper way

No Time

5:27 AM

On your router, is the network name being broadcast?

abhi

how to check that can u please guide me on this sorry for these silly question

i have run this comman in terminal i lshw -C network

i hv brodcom wireless BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY

No Time

Are you able to connect to the network with a different device (like windows machine, or a phone/tablet etc.)?

abhi

yes

No Time

ok

for the wireless icon in the top taskbar, you are unable to 'Show more networks...' or something similar, under the other networks?

abhi

yes i am able to see other network

my wifi name is jung its showing in other device and connecting well

apt-get --reinstall install bcmwl-kernel-source i tried to reinstall it it got install

No Time

5:35 AM

I am not in Ubuntu right now.. so trying to do from memory.. looking at screenshot right now.. I just want to make sure you have already looked at
More Networks▶
and saw no other networks

@abhi I am not sure why you would need to install that

oh.. what type of router do you have does it do b and/or g frequencies for the wireless network card?

abhi

wifi was not working previously so i install it and it got worked

No Time

@abhi so it works now?

abhi

can we check that using terminal i don't have idea for that its *-network

thats.. weird I don't know why it's named eth1

abhi

and yes if i do ifconfig wlan0 up

its sowing

wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

No Time

5:40 AM

well if the name is eth1 you would do ifconfig eth1 up (or something like that)

wlan0 would be for a device named wlan0

abhi

okey so can i do ifconfig eth1 up

it will up my wifi right ?

No Time

do ifconfig what does it show

abhi

okey

No Time

usually the name eth is for an ethernet card (physical connection/wired)

and wlan is for wireless LAN

I guess you could rename it, but that would be confusing

it might be better to use pastebin.. paste.ubuntu.com

so you don't clog up chat as much

abhi

5:47 AM

no this is my first time

Journeyman Geek

@abhi: wifi is a little complicated

abhi

just now i start learing linux

Journeyman Geek

In general you shouldn't need to bring up wifi manually

abhi

okey

No Time

thats why I was wondering if it was network settings .. because you could see other networks

Journeyman Geek

5:47 AM

I suspect that fact that you have a broadcom wifi card is the real issue - they usually need some extra work to get running.

abhi

okey

can we fix it

Journeyman Geek

what version of ubuntu do you run? Googling that and your wifi card model should get you on the right path

No Time

@abhi this answer may help askubuntu.com/questions/55868/…

it looks like the 2nd answer is saying that the card is being blacklisted with modprobe.. not sure if that is your problem

@JourneymanGeek I am understanding that correctly right?

⥮

Journeyman Geek

sounds sensible. Luis's answer looks worth reading too.

No Time

6:03 AM

I was just looking at his IMPORTANT NOTE seems like 2nd answer rolls into his.. and may be more appropriate but really not sure exactly.. definitely look at Luis answer because it goes through a more general approach vs 2nd which is for one card

just checking in before bed.

this is like day 2 on and off of it doing upgrade to install X

im sure there is a trigger to make it automated..

right now it was just make install clean

I didn't look through all of the make file though

@JourneymanGeek how did your interview go btw.. (if you want to say) I have one in like a day

Journeyman Geek

I think it went well

No Time

6:11 AM

What questions did they ask?

Journeyman Geek

lol. The difference between a hub, switch and router, stuff about raid...

though, the one where he asked me about my home network was hillarious...

" I have 2 routers, one of which acts as a switch/ap, another switch and 7 systems. Oh and phones and tablets"

No Time

So basic IT type questions. Did he ask about what you read about for IT? Heh.. yeah that is a little more advanced or complex than most home networks

Journeyman Geek

nope

Pity, I have my three books ;)

No Time

I was asked about the OSI layers before.. I wonder what they are going to ask me when I interview

not the same type of job.. but I don't know which one.. I have 4 separate IT departments interviewing me.

@JourneymanGeek your microwaved CD looks cool

they did a script though so probably would run faster I'd think

vs running through a program

Journeyman Geek

yup

It was upvoted more because it was ugly

have you seen awk?

more recently

@abhi did the question on AskUbuntu I linked help?

unfortunately.. my mouse/keyboard doesn't work.. wondering if I have to do host mouse somehow since it's in vm

abhi

not exactly i tried to restart the router and again re config the router it got worked

No Time

ah cool. so it was router settings

abhi

but yes its is help full for the knowledge thank you so much for support

No Time

6:35 AM

just stood on other people's shoulders

Journeyman Geek

@NoTime: usually you just click into the vm for capture

No Time

and probably more like below their feet

@JourneymanGeek yeah I'm just not sure if I would need to install synaptics stuff (modprobe) since I'm using mouse pad, or if I can do like a virtual mouse or something

abhi

can you guide me i want to understand how the Linux system works you have any good martial for that i am very new to ubuntu and only understand know about install apt update and all

Journeyman Geek

@abhi: wait till december 20th and sign up for lfs101 on edx

(they're re-doing the course so its not worth signing up for right now)

abhi

okey

which site

Journeyman Geek

6:37 AM

They basically baby you through from scratch. VERY useful for a newbie.

Also, set up a VM host, and muck around ;)

abhi

edx,org right ?

No Time

@abhi its edx.org I believe.. you can look at some of the certification stuff too nongnu.org/lpi-manuals

Journeyman Geek

essentially lfs101x is the 'base' level linux certs

It should get you to a reasonable skill level to build on ;p

abhi

okey thank you for the guidance

No Time

this nixsrv.com/llthw too

the hard way

the one on edx goes through cat and touch and pipes and all sorts of things like that

abhi

6:42 AM

its fine i just need to understand like which dir/ use for what and how the stuff workes in linux as newbee

Journeyman Geek

@abhi: as a user keep stuff in /home

A: How are Linux files and applications organized?

Wikipedia has a great article about this. A quote from the most useful part of that article: In the FHS all files and directories appear under the root directory "/", even if they are stored on different physical devices. Note however that some of these directories may or may not be...

for everything else... its kinda deep

and may be distro specific.

You rarely need to muck with this as an end user

No Time

things like /dev/sda1 are partitions (this one is on an SSD)

abhi

okey thank you i was looking for this i am just familiar with home and var dir in filesystem

fdisk listing the partition

right ?

lfs101x.1 right ?

I think having a system that could run VMs was one of my big computer geek turning points.

No Time

I remember using virtualbox a lot time ago.. but it was SOOOO slow

Journeyman Geek

Its a function of ram

abhi

VMS its oprating system on server side right ??

Journeyman Geek

lol. kinda sorta

No Time

@abhi depends how you define server :)

abhi

7:39 AM

virtual box

Journeyman Geek

Oh

VMS != VMs

and er... not really

abhi

for me server its like for hosting what a instance we are creating that one right

Journeyman Geek

There's 'server' VM hosts (esxi, hyper-V server), stuff that's a little in between (KVM) and desktop ones

there's also container virtualisation

No Time

Virtual Machines Operating Systems controlled by a "hypervisor" I think.. idk I still don't have full grasp how they work

but I got enlightenment to work on my FreeBSD machine in virtualbox :)

Journeyman Geek

@NoTime: I tend to think of it in two 'layers'

On your 'host', your VM software is just another application

But your guest is essentially a seperate system.

No Time

7:42 AM

dang BSD is hard to set up..

abhi

any idea how to broad cast this notify-send ' :) ' on every machine connected to network ??

No Time

i haven't used that command really

i would guess it depends how you are connected to them

you could do it through ssh or telnet I am guessing

alrighty im going to sleep now have fun everyone
