[01:21] <cheeseboy> can someone here help me with grub?
[01:21] <cheeseboy> im getting error 17
[01:22] <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
[01:23] <Jester45> could you pastebin your grub conf
[01:23] <cheeseboy> my menu.lst?
[01:23] <Jester45> yes
[01:24] <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
[01:25] <cheeseboy> sda3 is reiserfs

[01:27] <Jester45> is that the only thing in your list
[01:27] <cheeseboy> only thing that is commented
[01:28] <cheeseboy> isnt*
[01:28] <Jester45> are you sure
[01:28] <cheeseboy> 99
[01:30] <cheeseboy> yep thats all there is
[01:30] <Jester45> how about something about a default
[01:31] <Jester45> defualt 0 ?
[01:31] <cheeseboy> um
[01:31] <cheeseboy> h/o
[01:32] <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
[01:38] <Pumpernickel> Ick.
[01:44] <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
[01:45] <Jester45> so is that paste the 2nd kernel listed?
[01:46] <cheeseboy> no
[01:48] <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
[01:49] <Jester45> just as h(s)da1 is 0,0 for grub but hda2 is 0,1
[01:50] <cheeseboy> so change defalut 1 to 0 ?
[01:50] <Jester45> yes then it should try to boot from the one you pasted
[01:51] <cheeseboy> arg i dont want to reboot
[01:51] <cheeseboy> can i use qemu to test it?
[01:53] <cheeseboy> arg still error 17
[01:54] <Jester45> paste your whole menu
[01:55] <cheeseboy> http://rafb.net/p/d7nsor58.html
[01:57] <cheeseboy> Jester45 grub is on mbr btw
[01:57] <cheeseboy> its on hda1

[05:31] <cheeseboy> i did it once but i cant find the how to again

[05:32] <cheeseboy> i want to chroot then fix it

[09:23] <TheSheep> martinez: I think that both ubuntu and xubuntu disks have the 'install server' option
[09:23] <TheSheep> martinez: this installs only the base packages, without a desktop environment
=== highvoltage [n=highvolt@dsl-241-171-51.telkomadsl.co.za]  has joined #xubuntu
[09:24] <martinez> ok, only text-base mode, or some jwm or twm environments
[09:25] <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
[09:26] <TheSheep> martinez: because ubuntu is optimized for the desktop (in the usability sense, not in the sense of compiler flags)
[09:27] <martinez> Intel x86 family 6 model 8 32-bit 133, 128MB, graph S3 Inc. Savage4, disk 8GB.
[09:27] <martinez> can i run ubuntu server o it?
[09:28] <TheSheep> martinez: depends on what you want the server to do
[09:29] <TheSheep> martinez: ubuntu-server will install and run on it
[09:29] <martinez> only start system, configure sound, play simple games and have simple environment (it's  ofr my daddy)

[09:51] <TheSheep> darrend: sata?
[09:51] <darrend> yep

[09:51] <darrend> could vista have screwed something?
[09:52] <TheSheep> darrend: no
[09:52] <darrend> any idea how I get it to boot from the cd?
[09:52] <TheSheep> darrend: but if it's a sata cd drive, you might need some additional options for the kernel
[09:52] <TheSheep> darrend: press f1 on the boot screen
[09:53] <cheeseboy> TheSheep what "Protocol" should i put?
[09:53] <darrend> rebooting it..
[09:53] <TheSheep> darrend: you can also search the forums for a ready solution
[09:53] <darrend> yeah, I googled, but didn't actually find a fix.
[09:53] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: what protocol does that device use?
[09:53] <darrend> found plenty of others from about the time dapper was released with the same issue though
[09:53] <cheeseboy> TheSheep its an xbox control and im not sure
[09:54] <TheSheep> darrend: forums will givce you less results, but morefocused
[09:54] <darrend> one answer from someone who said he changed the uuid of the drive (?)
[09:54] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: try asking on #xbox or something
[09:54] <darrend> so presumably he was booting from disk, not live cd
[09:54] <TheSheep> darrend: but he booted for hdd, not cd
