| cheeseboy | can someone here help me with grub? | 01:21 |
|---|---|---|
| cheeseboy | im getting error 17 | 01:21 |
| cheeseboy | 17 : Cannot mount selected partitionThis error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB. | 01:22 |
| cheeseboy | i don't know what i did wrong | 01:22 |
| Jester45 | could you pastebin your grub conf | 01:23 |
| cheeseboy | my menu.lst? | 01:23 |
| Jester45 | yes | 01:23 |
| cheeseboy | http://rafb.net/p/iE37vW78.html | 01:24 |
| Jester45 | !pastebin | 01:24 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 01:24 |
| Jester45 | aa | 01:24 |
| Jester45 | and do you have a /dev/sda3 | 01:24 |
| Jester45 | and what filesystem type is it | 01:24 |
| cheeseboy | sda3 is reiserfs | 01:25 |
| === xork [n=xork@cpe-66-68-129-167.austin.res.rr.com] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| Jester45 | is that the only thing in your list | 01:27 |
| cheeseboy | only thing that is commented | 01:27 |
| cheeseboy | isnt* | 01:28 |
| Jester45 | are you sure | 01:28 |
| cheeseboy | 99 | 01:28 |
| cheeseboy | yep thats all there is | 01:30 |
| Jester45 | how about something about a default | 01:30 |
| Jester45 | defualt 0 ? | 01:31 |
| cheeseboy | um | 01:31 |
| cheeseboy | h/o | 01:31 |
| Pumpernickel | Was the setup on this machine working before, or is this a new install? | 01:32 |
| Jester45 | oo what about reiserfs v4 ? | 01:32 |
| cheeseboy | Pumpernickel install to my pendrive | 01:32 |
| Pumpernickel | Ick. | 01:38 |
| cheeseboy | Jester45 | 01:44 |
| cheeseboy | # general configuration: | 01:44 |
| cheeseboy | timeout 5 | 01:44 |
| cheeseboy | default 1 | 01:44 |
| cheeseboy | color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue | 01:44 |
| Jester45 | so is that paste the 2nd kernel listed? | 01:45 |
| cheeseboy | no | 01:46 |
| Jester45 | well... you pasted the wrong kernel list | 01:48 |
| cheeseboy | ? | 01:48 |
| Jester45 | grub counts 0 as the first number | 01:48 |
| Jester45 | so default 0 is the list kernel default 1 is the 2nd | 01:48 |
| Jester45 | just as h(s)da1 is 0,0 for grub but hda2 is 0,1 | 01:49 |
| cheeseboy | so change defalut 1 to 0 ? | 01:50 |
| Jester45 | yes then it should try to boot from the one you pasted | 01:50 |
| cheeseboy | arg i dont want to reboot | 01:51 |
| cheeseboy | can i use qemu to test it? | 01:51 |
| cheeseboy | arg still error 17 | 01:53 |
| Jester45 | paste your whole menu | 01:54 |
| cheeseboy | http://rafb.net/p/d7nsor58.html | 01:55 |
| cheeseboy | Jester45 grub is on mbr btw | 01:57 |
| cheeseboy | its on hda1 | 01:57 |
| cheeseboy | sda1* | 01:57 |

| cheeseboy | i did it once but i cant find the how to again | 05:31 |
| Jester45 | make your own cd :) or a kernel on a second disk you can use | 05:31 |
| cheeseboy | i destroyed grub | 05:31 |
| cheeseboy | i want to chroot then fix it | 05:32 |
| Jester45 | i would say not to use lvm as your root then :) because your about out of luck unless you can take the drive out and put it in a 2nd computer or make your own livecd or possibly use a 2nd cd to store the kernel with the module | 05:34 |

| TheSheep | martinez: I think that both ubuntu and xubuntu disks have the 'install server' option | 09:23 |

| === highvoltage [n=highvolt@dsl-241-171-51.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| martinez | ok, only text-base mode, or some jwm or twm environments | 09:24 |
| TheSheep | martinez: although if you want it that light, you are probably better off with a different distro | 09:25 |
| TheSheep | martinez: debian, for example | 09:25 |
| TheSheep | martinez: because ubuntu is optimized for the desktop (in the usability sense, not in the sense of compiler flags) | 09:26 |
