Yeah, that's where it's at, sadly.

Does anyone know what New profiles: skip means in ufw status?

Andrew

An OS from 2001. Would you use Ubuntu 4.10? that is 3 years and like 4 mouth newer

Braiam

@Seth skip from the status the profiles not loaded?

Seth

That doesn't make sense though.. It says new profiles.

Q: Changed permissions on /usr/lib

I changed permission on /usr/lib by doing a recursive call to chown by using sudo. And after that, the system has just been weird. I don't have any network/audio interfaces working; pretty much the entire system is down and is throwing weird errors. I am running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. Following ar...

hbdgaf

you also don't need to limit the regex to a line number when editing bashrc. it's a bad idea since it's a highly fluid file.

@Seth ah....

@hbdgaf I will look into that

hbdgaf

you def don't need sudo for editing ~/.bashrc

@hbdgaf that gets the new lines into the file without hitting the comments. It bumps the other text down and takes the line right under the comments...

I wouldn't tag auto-remove unless I had to. Loads of people leave extra stuff on their systems on purpose.

This reads as wrong: "sed -i.original"

Elliot Labs

@hbdgaf ?

hbdgaf

1:24 AM

sed -i usually has a space after it. it doesn't read clearly even if it works.

I'm done reading.

Elliot Labs

@hbdgaf That code was from this answer:askubuntu.com/questions/443333/…

@hbdgaf you are do not want to read anymore or you are completely done reading the entire thing?

hbdgaf

@ElliotLabs that's fair, i've never used sed that way.

Elliot Labs

@hbdgaf I have never used it until now... lol

lol

hbdgaf

@ElliotLabs i read the whole thing. nothing else jumped out at me other than installing debs from non-standard sources... that's sort of critical though.

@ElliotLabs i've used sed, just not like that.

Elliot Labs

@hbdgaf it is fine. The debs are for webmin and they are directly from webmin.

if i have to specify a version it means the metapackage is, in fact, gone. which is what i was winge-ing about.

@Danatela no. On one box however there is a little text scrolling...

fossfreedom

@AdityaPatil isnt that the same question? - the answers are generic enough to work with whatever mirror you choose

Aditya Patil

9:02 AM

@fossfreedom which answer?

Oli

@AdityaPatil Yeah that other question isn't Ubuntu-only at all.

Aditya Patil

at least askubuntu.com/a/92702/184942 askubuntu.com/a/295386/184942 askubuntu.com/a/9035/184942 and askubuntu.com/a/39928/184942 won't work.netselect is not available and ffum searches on mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt

even askubuntu.com/a/141536/184942 requires netselect

fossfreedom

what do you mean by "netselect is not available" ? the answer says to download it from debian.

Oli

And the mirrors approach doesn't just work for Ubuntu. It'll work for any set of repos as long as you can bundle them into a text file.

Aditya Patil

@Oli I will have to either hack mirrors.ubuntu.com or reverse engineer ffum, both of which I am incompetent to do.

izx's answer can work but it will require some modifications. I will try that one.

I've titled that 12.10 - multiarch came in at 13.04

Avinash Raj

Does dpkg --add-architecture will work for 12.10?

but it's not the main one.

fossfreedom

no idea - havent got a 12.10 VM to test in.

Avinash Raj

the main error,

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"

is the above command correct?

fossfreedom

dunno - with 19 votes - it must have worked for at least 19 people

Avinash Raj

@fossfreedom i think it would be

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"

Danatela

hmm I upvote not only working answers, but also "beautiful"

fossfreedom

10:39 AM

@AvinashRaj yep - that looks better - please edit it to correct

bbl

Avinash Raj

That's the only reason for getting upvotes on mine

@Danatela did you try that on 14.04?

Dan

TADA!

If you look at the difference between the original and the edit while viewing it in "Rendered Output" mode, at first glance, it looks as if the edit adds the screenshot

At least I think that is be the reason

Mateo

probably just put a space in there, anyway - the screen is in both - so I was suspected it with out seeing the last bit - scrolled up and saw the summary was random with a @ sign..., then saw the "tada"

that and I think there was a "be careful the system suspected this as spam" message

maybe that needs to be highlighted in red. or flashing.

Dan

Q: Newly compiled kernel not booting up (vanilla kernel 3.12.14)

I downloaded, configured and installed kernel downloaded from kernel.org. While booting up this new kernel for the first time, this error screen shows which is pointing towards a missing or wrongly mentioned root device probably. But I didn't mention it explicitly, installation scripts did it. So...

ubuntu kernel boot virtualbox root

hbdgaf

@UbuntuQuestionsonU&L That reeks of... pain.

Mateo

er, newly compiled vanilla kernel? doesn’t "vanilla" mean original...

hbdgaf

He means from git, not from repo. If I said i'm using the vanilla kernel from repo, I would mean the Ubuntu stock generic. If I said I'm using the vanilla kernel I would mean without any modifications straight from the git head at kernel.org.

Mateo

@hbdgaf ah, that makes more sense now

hbdgaf

9:50 PM

There's probably a feature he doesn't have turned on that he needs... he should grab the kernel sources from an ubuntu package and use the kernel .config file to set compile-time options if he's never done it before. It's always easier to start with working and tweak options than it is to say "No really... I've never done this before, but I want to set every parameter myself." <-- no. you really don't.
