However the one thing I could not figure out was how to get multiple partitions on the encrypted disk. It does not seem to want to allow me to specify the size of the / partition either to allow me to build a separately keyed LUKS partition for other uses or to do so via LVM. Did I miss something in the install menu's? It does not seem like an unusual requirement. Inherently LUKS does not have a partition table so you either create multiple luks partitions (each with an encryption key) or use lvm on top of LUKS. You did not miss anything.

can't use apt-get command with ubuntu core
I have installed Ubuntu core on VM i followed instruction from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core I am able to boot and login, but if try apt-get install I get below errors, my system (virgin ubuntu core) got no packages installed like synaptic package manager etc could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock -open (13:permission denied) unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg) , are you root? I can't try using sudo command as it is not installed on (ubuntu core). If i try apt-get update command i get below errors apt-get update E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? I tried to remove lock file manually but i again get permission denied error, the user i created ubuntu I added it to adm and sudo groups, groups command shows it is added to ubuntu adm and sudo groups. My other part of question is as user is added to sudo group why i got no root permission? -- Kind Regards, Saqlain Abbas. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Re: can't use apt-get command with ubuntu core
If you wish to run apt-get, you will either need to grant a root password, 'and use su'.. In Ubuntu Core root user is already added but i don't know root user password (and it dont ask me to reset root user password adduser command just say user already present), may be i missed something very basic? I would like to use it to install packages (i.e. sudo and other necessary, resolving dependencies manually is tedious :( ) su asks for root password but i dont know it.. For the same purpose i added ubuntu user to sudo group (but you already clarified without sudo pakcages it would not have any effect). The reason i am interesting these packages from Ubuntu Core is because it seems something really obvious to have root access in an OS, but su asks for password which i dont know... Thanks, Saqlain.

Re: question about php5-ps

(system is running kubuntu 12.10 amd64) Scripts using this functionality are seg faulting and dumping core (even sample code written by the original author). The source code contains incompatibilities with php 5.4 and I am wondering if this is a symptom of being built on a system that wasn't using php 5.4, or if there is another problem as well. The packages were rebuilt with the PHP 5.4 API: php-ps (1.3.6-7build1) quantal; urgency=low * No-change rebuild for phpapi change -- Ilya Barygin randomact...@ubuntu.com Sat, 30 Jun 2012 13:03:13 +0400 (Thanks Ilya!) So its not that. However, it may very likely be this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php-ps/+bug/1024207 Which in turn mentions this bug: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=58211 Both have patches for php-ps to make them 64-bit compatible. I'm not sure we would want to carry said patches in Ubuntu without upstream acknowledging them. Thats a problem, because from what I'm seeing, php-ps is woefully unmaintained. https://bugs.php.net/search.php?cmd=displaypackage_name[]=ps So, you probably will want to re-evaluate whether or not its a good idea to make use of that particular extension (or perhaps you can contribute to its maintenance in the PECL project). Meanwhile I've opened a grave bug against the Debian package, as it should probably be removed from Debian and future Ubuntu releases if it is in fact a dead upstream project. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss wow Clint, I'm impressed. You add to a bug report on a bug that's probably 4 and a half years old and in about a day a fix has been uploaded to the debian repositories. How long untill the debian fix will be carried on into the Ubuntu repositories?
