[00:00] <tabakhase_> sudo ls -> password request -> list of files in my home dir
[00:01] <soundray> tabakhase_: so sudo does work.
[00:01] <soundray> In the same terminal, run 'sudo umount /boot'
[00:04] <tabakhase_> sudo: unmount: command not found
[00:04] <soundray> READ CAREFULLY
[00:04] <tabakhase_> ahh i see *duck and run*
[00:04] <tabakhase_> *shy*
[00:04] <tabakhase_> sorry, my fault
[00:05] <tabakhase_> Now: error: device still used (error message is german, but it says this)
[00:06] <tabakhase_> now
[00:06] <tabakhase_> and mounted to /mnt - done
[00:07] <soundray> sudo cp -a /boot/* /mnt/
[00:08] <tabakhase_> done
[00:09] <soundray> Next, do a 'cd /mnt'
[00:09] <soundray> and run
[00:09] <soundray> sudo ln -sf . boot
[00:09] <soundray> Be careful to type all the spaces
[00:11] <tabakhase_> done
[00:12] <soundray> Okay, now we want to umount /mnt and mount it on /boot again
[00:13] <tabakhase_> (reaction always take so long because the system lags and lags..)
[00:13] <soundray> Not for much longer (we hope)
[00:14] <tabakhase_> done
[00:14] <soundray> Remind me, which device is your root partition?
[00:14] <tabakhase_> /dev/hda7
[00:16] <soundray> That means we have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change all references to (hd0,6) into (hd0,0)
[00:16] <soundray> Do you want detailed instructions?
[00:16] <tabakhase_> I think we have to add this (mount hda1 to /boot) also in /etc/fstab or not?
[00:16] <soundray> Yes
[00:17] <tabakhase_> no, i could edit it, already working with linux since 2 years or so...
[00:18] <soundray> Also, append the nodma option you want to the line that starts with "# kopt=" in menu.lst
[00:22] <tabakhase_> had to append it or could i edit the grub list while booting with "e"?
[00:23] <soundray> To prepare fstab, you can just do
[00:23] <tabakhase_> k, done
[00:23] <soundray> echo /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2 | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
[00:24] <tabakhase_> no "´s by the echo?
[00:25] <soundray> tabakhase_: optional in this case
[00:26] <tabakhase_> done^^
[00:26] <soundray> Now to install grub, run
[00:26] <soundray> sudo grub-install /dev/hda
[00:27] <tabakhase_> jepy =)
[00:28] <soundray> Now
[00:28] <soundray> sudo update-grub
[00:28] <tabakhase_> sed: Lesefehler in /boot/grub/device.map:Input/Output error
[00:28] <tabakhase_>  Lesefehler in = reading error in
[00:28] <soundray> I'm okay with German
[00:29] <soundray> Was that error from the grub-install command?
[00:29] <tabakhase_> /dev/hda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
[00:31] <soundray> Was that error from the grub-install command?
[00:32] <tabakhase_> sed... see ahead) | grep: /boot/grub/device.map: Input/output error | /dav/hda (see ahead)
[00:33] <soundray> Was that error from the grub-install or from the update-grub command?
[00:33] <tabakhase_> grub-install
[00:34] <tabakhase_> [11.09.08 - 01:28:15 ] <soundray> sudo update-grub *hubs* not seen, moment
[00:34] <soundray> Don't run update-grub yet
[00:35] <soundray> Tell me if you have a /boot/grub/device.map file
[00:36] <tabakhase_> lag lag lag...
[00:37] <tabakhase_> yes, i have
[00:37] <tabakhase_> 15 bytes
[00:38] <soundray> What's in it?
[00:38] <tabakhase_> a lag -.-
[00:38] <tabakhase_> moment please...
[00:39] <tabakhase_> (hd0) /dev/hda
[00:41] <soundray> I don't know why this happens. Please retry
[00:41] <soundray> sudo grub-install /dev/hda
[00:42] <tabakhase_> Slowly i think there is a error on this disk... my windows (on another partition) isn´t running some time ago
[00:42] <tabakhase_> ->
[00:42] <tabakhase_> mom
[00:42] <tabakhase_> Power fail, since then it was demaged and windows cant boot anymore
[00:43] <tabakhase_> but this was weeks before the first lag on ubuntu
[00:44] <tabakhase_> Error now: "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly."
[00:46] <soundray> Time for a new hard disk drive?
[00:46] <tabakhase_> its about a jear old
[00:47] <tabakhase_> and these fucking 2,5" harddisks are damn expenisve =(
[00:47] <soundray> No profanity please
[00:47] <tabakhase_> 3,5 ive got millions here, from 649 MB to 250 GB, but these 2,5" -.-
[00:47] <soundray> We're still in a public chatroom
[00:48] <tabakhase_> No "tests" i can do to check the harddisk?
[00:49] <soundray> Did you say it was working normally and started lagging after this powerfailure?
[00:50] <tabakhase_> after the fail my windows didn´t worked anymore
[00:50] <tabakhase_> so i switched to my old ubuntu on the other partition
[00:50] <tabakhase_> works fine
[00:51] <tabakhase_> update to 8.x, lags, changed kernel, works
[00:52] <tabakhase_> then for month´s everything was fine
[00:52] <tabakhase_> and some days ago lag´s started again =(
[00:53] <tabakhase_> (while this power fail windows was running) so i was thinkin "typical, damn os! lets get back to my lovly ubuntu"
[00:54] <soundray> You've got hardware trouble. I think this will continue until you replace the disk. Make sure you backup any valuable data before it dies completely
[00:56] <tabakhase_> hm k =(
[00:57] <tabakhase_> And do you know a good resulution for: "IRC, ICQ, MSN, XMMP, Jabber, Mails, Calendar AND best to sync. with my mobile phone?
[00:57] <soundray> :) no, sorry
[00:59] <tabakhase_> hm ok, thanks for all the time and all help so far
[01:00] <tabakhase_> very big thanks, organisate a new hdd now and try again -.-
[01:00] <soundray> Gern geschehen, schade, dass es nicht so richtig geholfen hat.
[01:04] <tabakhase_> soundray und sonst gibt es nix an HDD testern? Ala scandisk?
[01:10] <soundray> !info smartmontools | tabakhase_
[01:14] <tabakhase_> soundray dies after 10% -> unknown failure
[01:15] <soundray> It's not worth it. Use your time to raise funds for a new disk instead.
[01:16] <tabakhase_> ive got the error i think..
[01:17] <tabakhase_> "Error 661 occurred at disk-power lifetime: 15738 hours (655 days + 18 hours)
[01:17] <tabakhase_> I think the counter didn`t reset after changing...
[01:18] <tabakhase_> but additional, i dont think that could be the error that the system strikes like this...
[01:19] <tabakhase_> @ soundray
[01:20] <tabakhase_> ich rechne gerade mal
[01:20]  * soundray muss jetzt mal an der Matratze horchen
[01:21] <tabakhase_> die 655 tage können doch stimmen...
[01:21] <tabakhase_> hm ok, dan gute nacht und nochmal danke soundray
[01:22] <soundray> Bis dann
[01:22] <tabakhase_> this was one very nice guy^^
