| DrFEAR | I have a problem with updating my kernel... | 08:39 |
| DrFEAR | anyone can help me? | 08:40 |
| === n2diy [n=darryl@ppp-42d42804.wlks.losch.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel | ||
| DrFEAR | anyone? | 08:46 |
| JanC | DrFEAR: what problem? | 08:55 |
| JanC | DrFEAR: remember that this is a development channel though | 08:55 |
| JanC | for support, #ubuntu is a better choice | 08:56 |
| DrFEAR | i'm there... | 09:00 |
| DrFEAR | but they can't find the solution | 09:01 |
| DrFEAR | sorry | 09:01 |
| DrFEAR | I have Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn with kernel 2.6.20-15-generic | 09:01 |
| DrFEAR | it says that there are updates available | 09:02 |
| DrFEAR | when I try to update, it show an error with dependencies | 09:02 |
| DrFEAR | i can install programs and all | 09:03 |
| DrFEAR | but everytime i install one, it keep trying to install the same kernel | 09:03 |
| DrFEAR | JanC: Keep trying to update to version 2.6.20-16 | 09:04 |
| geser | can you paste the error message in some pastebin? | 09:05 |
| DrFEAR | I think that isn't necessary, so if i can't update my kernel, i'm looking a way to avoid this updating | 09:05 |
| DrFEAR | it's in spanish...XD | 09:05 |
| DrFEAR | it tries to install 4 packages | 09:06 |
| DrFEAR | linux-image-2.6.20-16-generic | 09:06 |
| DrFEAR | linux-image-generic | 09:06 |
| DrFEAR | linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-generic | 09:06 |
| DrFEAR | linux-restricted-modules-generic | 09:06 |
| DrFEAR | linux-generic | 09:06 |
| DrFEAR | well 5 | 09:06 |
| DrFEAR | each one depends on the previous | 09:06 |
| JanC | DrFEAR: how do you try to upgrade ? | 09:06 |
| DrFEAR | I wasn't trying to upgrade, I only upgrade when the system shows me that there are new upgrades available | 09:07 |
| DrFEAR | in that list, there was the kernel update | 09:08 |
| DrFEAR | i thought that there wouldn't be any problems | 09:08 |
| DrFEAR | and here i am | 09:08 |
| JanC | and what does the error say? | 09:10 |
| DrFEAR | dpkg: error al procesar linux-generic (--configure): | 09:11 |
| DrFEAR | problemas de dependencias - se deja sin configurar | 09:11 |
| JanC | it doesn't say which dependencies are missing? | 09:11 |
| DrFEAR | dependencies problem, left without configuring | 09:11 |
| DrFEAR | all the packages above | 09:12 |
| JanC | I just upgraded to 2.6.20-16.28 | 09:12 |
| JanC | without any problems | 09:12 |
| DrFEAR | if I can't upgrade the kernel, I just want to make that upgrading stop | 09:12 |
| JanC | maybe you must update the package database | 09:13 |
| JanC | and then try again? | 09:13 |
| DrFEAR | how do i do that? | 09:14 |
| DrFEAR | with apt-get update? | 09:14 |
| DrFEAR | I already did that | 09:14 |
| JanC | that's one way yes | 09:14 |
| JanC | hm | 09:14 |
| DrFEAR | didn't work | 09:14 |
| DrFEAR | sorry | 09:15 |
| DrFEAR | :S | 09:15 |
| JanC | have you tried 'apt-get dist-upgrade' ? | 09:16 |
| DrFEAR | it tries to upgrade again...reaching the same error | 09:16 |
| DrFEAR | what if... | 09:16 |
| DrFEAR | I reinstall my ubuntu....:S | 09:16 |
| DrFEAR | ? | 09:16 |
| JanC | I'm sure there is a better solution | 09:17 |
| DrFEAR | I could't find it | 09:17 |
| geser | what happens when you try to install the five packages by hand with apt-get? | 09:18 |
| geser | sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.20-16-generic | 09:18 |
| geser | and so on for the other ones | 09:18 |
| geser | one of them should produce an error which might help further | 09:19 |
| JanC | I suspect something went wrong with an earlier install... | 09:19 |
| JanC | or upgrade | 09:20 |
| JanC | DrFEAR: you haven't pinned one of those packages to a certain version? | 09:21 |
| DrFEAR | don't know | 09:21 |
| DrFEAR | I've never touched the kernel... | 09:21 |
| DrFEAR | I'm too newbie to do it | 09:22 |
| DrFEAR | yet | 09:22 |
| JanC | DrFEAR: try what geser said :) | 09:24 |
| DrFEAR | same thing...:S | 09:27 |
| DrFEAR | sorry, i'll try to reinstall | 09:27 |
| DrFEAR | the winbugs way :S | 09:28 |
| johanbr | DrFEAR: You really shouldn't have to reinstall for something as simple as that. | 09:29 |
| DrFEAR | it's driving me @@ | 09:29 |
| johanbr | DrFEAR: Try "sudo dpkg --configure -a". | 09:30 |
| DrFEAR | i'm gonna put all the error...sorry if its too long... | 09:30 |
| DrFEAR | two lines per time | 09:31 |
| JanC | DrFEAR: use a pastebin | 09:31 |
| JanC | paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 09:31 |
| DrFEAR | oh, well, I learned something new today :D | 09:32 |
| DrFEAR | I put the link here? | 09:33 |
| DrFEAR | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24894/ | 09:33 |
| DrFEAR | like that? | 09:33 |
| JanC | that looks like it might be useful :) | 09:34 |
| DrFEAR | sorry, is in spanish... | 09:34 |
| DrFEAR | from Colombia, I'm Oscar by the way...thanks for the help :) | 09:35 |
| JanC | I can read a little bit of Spanish :) | 09:36 |
| DrFEAR | lucky me! :) | 09:37 |
| JanC | my parents worked in Venezuela for 2-3 years before I was born, a friend of them worked in Colombia for about 20-25 years, another friend of them works in Guatemala for 30 years or so, etc. :) | 09:39 |
| DrFEAR | many sources to learn a little bit of spanish | 09:39 |
| DrFEAR | :S | 09:39 |
| DrFEAR | oops | 09:39 |
| DrFEAR | :) | 09:39 |
| DrFEAR | i'm used to put that smiley | 09:40 |
| JanC | seems to be a problem with 'update-grub' | 09:40 |
| JanC | did you edit /boot/grub/menu.list by hand? | 09:40 |
| JanC | '/boot/grub/menu.lst' | 09:41 |
| DrFEAR | hmm | 09:42 |
| DrFEAR | let me see | 09:42 |
| DrFEAR | oops, yes | 09:42 |
| JanC | it might be that if you did that, you did something wrong :) | 09:42 |
| DrFEAR | i have the grub like suse | 09:42 |
| JanC | ? | 09:42 |
| DrFEAR | a little bit more graphical | 09:42 |
| DrFEAR | XD | 09:43 |
| DrFEAR | but i remember what did i do... | 09:43 |
| JanC | "graphical" shouldn't be an issue in itself | 09:43 |
| JanC | as long as you don't change things inside the marked area for 'update-grub' | 09:43 |
| JanC | or break the menu.lst because of bad syntax | 09:44 |
| DrFEAR | I only added one line | 09:45 |
| DrFEAR | gfxmenu /boot/grub/message.ubugrey | 09:45 |
| DrFEAR | what if I remove it, reboot, and get back? | 09:45 |
| JanC | I don't think that's the issue | 09:49 |
| JanC | Running postinst hook script /sbin/update-grub. | 09:49 |
| JanC | [: 25: ==: unexpected operator | 09:49 |
| JanC | exec: 25: -a: not found | 09:49 |
| JanC | it's something about "25" :) | 09:50 |
| DrFEAR | mmm | 09:52 |
| DrFEAR | maybe it's line # 25 on update-grub? | 09:52 |
| DrFEAR | I see a == | 09:53 |
| === TheDeviantOne [n=thedevia@ip68-231-5-234.ph.ph.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel | ||
| JanC | possibly | 09:56 |
| DrFEAR | maybe it doen't found the operator -a | 09:57 |
| DrFEAR | in the line | 09:57 |
| DrFEAR | exec -a update-grub /usr/sbin/update-grub.real $* | 09:58 |
| DrFEAR | what if....I remove that -a | 09:58 |
| DrFEAR | ? | 09:58 |
| JanC | where do you see the '==' ? | 09:58 |
| DrFEAR | lol | 09:59 |
| DrFEAR | another pastebin | 09:59 |
| DrFEAR | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24900/ | 10:00 |
| DrFEAR | thanks for helping, man | 10:00 |
| DrFEAR | hope I'm not wasting your time | 10:00 |
| JanC | btw, unrelated, but you should use sudo instead of working as root :) | 10:03 |
| DrFEAR | why? | 10:04 |
| JanC | it's safer | 10:04 |
| DrFEAR | oh, I thought that su were safer | 10:05 |
| DrFEAR | oops | 10:05 |
| JanC | depends on what you mean by "safer" | 10:05 |
| JanC | with sudo it's less likely that you accidentally break your system :) | 10:05 |
| DrFEAR | well, that's true | 10:07 |
| DrFEAR | right now I'm looking for deactivating root pw | 10:08 |
| DrFEAR | to get back to sudo | 10:08 |
| JanC | it won't fix your problem though (AFAIK) | 10:08 |
| johanbr | DrFEAR: I know roughly what the problem is. Edit update-grub (the file you just put on pastebin) with a text editor. Put comments (#) on lines 17-21 and 23-25. | 10:08 |
| DrFEAR | all set | 10:10 |
| DrFEAR | try again? | 10:10 |
| johanbr | Alright, try the "dpkg --configure -a" again. | 10:10 |
| JanC | johanbr: there are 2 update-grub on most systems | 10:11 |
| johanbr | JanC: Right. And it seems like on of them is a slightly broken shell script. | 10:11 |
| JanC | /sbin/update-grub & /usr/sbin/update-grub | 10:11 |
| DrFEAR | same error | 10:12 |
| DrFEAR | but changed 5 to 22 | 10:12 |
| DrFEAR | in exec: 22 : -a not found | 10:12 |
| JanC | it seems like DrFEAR looks at an /sbin/update-grub that's different from the one I have though | 10:12 |
| DrFEAR | oops | 10:12 |
| JanC | DrFEAR: edit /etc/kernel-img.conf to have: | 10:13 |
| JanC | postinst_hook = /usr/sbin/update-grub | 10:13 |
| JanC | postrm_hook = /usr/sbin/update-grub | 10:13 |
| JanC | maybe that will fix things | 10:14 |
| JanC | but I wonder how you got the wrong /sbin/update-grub script | 10:14 |
| johanbr | JanC: My guess is that the breakage is caused by the change of the default /bin/sh shell from bash to dash. | 10:15 |
| JanC | johanbr: then still, why wasn't his system updated? | 10:16 |
| johanbr | DrFEAR: JanC's suggestion sounds good. Or you can try editing line 22 of the file you just changed to just say "exec -a /usr/sbin/update-grub.real $*". | 10:16 |
| johanbr | JanC: Oh, you mean that the update-grub script is an old version still? I don't know. Maybe he just hasn't updated the grub package yet? | 10:17 |
| JanC | @#$%?! | 10:17 |
| JanC | Seveas should fix his pastebin :-( | 10:17 |
| DrFEAR | it already says exec -a /usr/sbin/update-grub.real $* | 10:18 |
| DrFEAR | in both of them...the one in /usr/... and the one in /sbin/... | 10:19 |
| JanC | exec /usr/sbin/update-grub "$@" | 10:19 |
| JanC | that's what it says here... | 10:19 |
| johanbr | DrFEAR: Oh, sorry. I meant "exec /usr/sbin/update-grub.real $*". | 10:19 |
| DrFEAR | ohh ok | 10:20 |
| DrFEAR | that's what I thought | 10:20 |
| DrFEAR | in both of them? | 10:20 |
| JanC | ( and for some reason, pastebins hate me :-( ) | 10:20 |
| johanbr | DrFEAR: Yes. Did you try JanC's suggestion already? | 10:20 |
| JanC | changing /etc/kernel-img.conf should be enough, I think | 10:21 |
| DrFEAR | no, it don't say "$@", it says "$*" | 10:21 |
| DrFEAR | i think it's the -a | 10:21 |
| DrFEAR | wtf? | 10:22 |
| JanC | DrFEAR: the kernel-img.conf should be changed anyway :) | 10:22 |
| DrFEAR | worst! | 10:22 |
| DrFEAR | already changed | 10:22 |
| DrFEAR | it says like a thousand times: [: 25: ==: unexpected operator | 10:24 |
| DrFEAR | mmm | 10:24 |
| DrFEAR | something changed: [: 25: ==: unexpected operator | 10:25 |
| DrFEAR | no | 10:25 |
| DrFEAR | oops | 10:25 |
| DrFEAR | exec: 22: update-grub: Argument list too long | 10:25 |
| johanbr | DrFEAR: Hmm. Another option: change both update-grub files back to what they were at the start, then change #!/bin/sh at the top to #!/bin/bash . | 10:31 |
| DrFEAR | THANK YOU1 | 10:34 |
| DrFEAR | !!!! | 10:34 |
| DrFEAR | thanks everyone for your time | 10:34 |
| DrFEAR | thanks johanbr, thanks JanC | 10:35 |
| DrFEAR | hoping that I didn't waste too much of your time | 10:35 |
| johanbr | DrFEAR: You're welcome. Glad it worked. :) | 10:35 |
| DrFEAR | :))) | 10:35 |
| DrFEAR | thanks man | 10:35 |
| DrFEAR | JanC: Thanks too | 10:36 |
| DrFEAR | ! | 10:36 |
| DrFEAR | gonna rebooy | 10:37 |
| DrFEAR | reboot | 10:37 |
| DrFEAR | thanks, thousand thanks and blessings | 10:38 |
| DrFEAR | good luck to everyone | 10:38 |
| DrFEAR | bye | 10:38 |
| JanC | DrFEAR: if the #!/bin/bash/ worked, you most likely will have more problems... | 10:39 |
