[00:46] If I could help out coding [00:46] But I don't know where to start... [00:46] Where do I learn? [00:47] what can I expect to experience with the rc of kubuntu? should I wait for final? [00:47] shiretok0, ask in #ubuntu+1 [00:48] ok [00:50] it was ignored [00:50] isn't this for kubuntu? [00:51] both kde and gnome [01:04] i can't install pidgin. why? [01:21] is this the command to chmod a folder to my username? " chmod -r Folder User " ? If not, then what is it?

I was able to move some without problem, but dolphin gives me "could not read /media/disk/folder". When I autoskip, the folder and files disappears from the Ext HD, but they don't appear in my Home folder. Any ideas? [01:49] Well, the folder does appear in my home/user, but there is nothing in it [01:55] hi === doodah is now known as RPman [02:11] I am booted through a LiveCD of 7.10 and the external USB data transfer fails. I'm trying to move a DVD iso from my HDD to my external 500GB via USB. [02:12] Only 1.8GB of the 4.3GB iso were transferred before I got the stall in transfer, then nothing. [02:13] From 7.10 to current, I can't seem to use the external USB device for transfers. Is it a bad external drive or my motherboard failing the transfer? [02:14] Actually, I just recalled that I put 2 other DVD iso's from my netbook onto the external just fine; no issues. How can I find out the issue with my desktop? === LjL-Temp is now known as LjL [02:32] how can i change which kwallet kopete uses?

[03:36] smacnay: there is hugin [03:36] yes, and it will work well but nothing for kde specifically?

[03:38] is there a webcam app yet? kamera? [03:40] I am just doing some legwork before installing over a gig of apps on my syste.

Do you mean? From a packaging point of view? Because it seems to me that the default global shortcuts for multimedia keys are unrelated to the applications who uses them. For example both Amarok and Kaffeine use the (default) media key bindings. [11:22] (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/361149) [11:24] hey i have a problem with a command trying to install firefox 32bit [11:29] hey i have a problem with a command trying to install firefox 32bit [11:37] hey i have a problem with a command trying to install firefox 32bit [11:38] tweek: you should be a bit more detailed, else we can not help you [11:39] well no one was talking so i had no one to explain my problem to [11:39] Create the environment variable file [11:39] how do i do that? [11:42] tweek: if you run bash: vi .bashrc ; export EDITOR=vi; now you said your default editor is via a env variable === nacer_ is now known as nacer [11:43] with zsh one would put that in its .zshrc file [11:43] tweek: google enviroment variables bash (or zsh) [11:43] or whatever shell you're using [11:44] um blash isn't fount [11:44] ops [11:44] bash [11:44] lol [11:44] i didn't typo in term [11:45] i'm using kubuntu 9.10 i just installed it [11:48] guess i'll get it tomorrow\ [12:19] hello [12:19] gioele: From an application point of view. For example, juk doesn't use meta + c for the global shortcut for play [12:19] a I'm from Brazil [12:19] JontheEchidna: hi [12:19] gioele: Amarok also combines pause and play into one togglable action [12:19] while it would be nice if there was standardization, there isn't in this case :( [12:20] as I enter the Brazilian channel? [12:20] JontheEchidna: that is ok, but I'm telling is that if you is that there are standard keycodes like XF86MediaPlay that should be the default for the play action in the global kde bindings that exist regardless of the applications that accepts them [12:21] im having trouble installing ies4linux, is there an easy way like an archive that only needs to be extracted or something? [12:21] tem alguem que pode me ajudar ? [12:21] gioele: it really should be taken up with KDE anyway. More of a chance to get things to happen in a timely manner [12:21] !pt | norteng [12:21] norteng: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [12:22] JontheEchidna: what do you mean "with KDE". First this is a (K)Ubuntu-specific problem, then upstream KDE might like to change their defaults (that is sensible but not required). [12:23] The problem right now is that if you install KUbuntu all your multimedia keys do not work in KDE but do work in Gnome applications. Isn't that funny? [12:23] We use upstream's defaults for those keybindings [12:23] JontheEchidna: you can diverge from upstream for a while, to keep consistency with the rest of Ubuntu [12:24] JontheEchidna: anyway, do you mind if I switch back that bug to kdebase-workspace instead of Amarok? [12:24] this bug has nothing to do with kdebase-workspace [12:25] JontheEchidna: kdebase-workspace installs the default keybindings [12:25] which amarok does not use [12:26] JontheEchidna: that it (partially) uses. Once I changed the global keybindings, Amarok started working. [12:27] It's entirely custom. It just so happens you can change application global keybindings from system settings [12:28] JontheEchidna: what is entirely custom? [12:28] The play/pause shortcut [12:29] well, it uses the kde bindings system, but there is not standard for such things where several apps use the same global keybindings for a specific action [12:29] The action itself is custom-defined: https://launchpad.net/bugs/460870 [12:31] Upstream should change their default binding. 3 days before the release is really too late to do Kubuntu-specific changes like that, and 6 months should be plently to get most KDE apps to use the play multimedia key [12:31] JontheEchidna: what is that bug you just linked? [12:31] that's an excerpt from the amarok source code, where it defines the play/pause shortcut [12:32] oh, whoops [12:32] wrong link [12:32] http://paste.ubuntu.com/302009/ [12:32] ;-) [12:32] JontheEchidna: I propose you this: move that bug back to kdebase-workspace as a reminder to change the defaults, then open another about the amarok/other apps behavior. What do you think? [12:33] Why involve kdebase-workspace at all? [12:33] it should be just as easy to remember if it's against amarok [12:34] and then file against other apps that need changing [12:34] JontheEchidna: I see two problems here: 1) KDE default bindings are wrong, 2) Amarok does not use default bindings [12:34] those are two separate bugs [12:37] JontheEchidna: JontheEchidna: I propose you this: move that bug back to kdebase-workspace as a reminder to change the defaults, then open another about the amarok/other apps behavior. What do you think? [12:37] :) [12:37] oh, sorry [12:37] truth be told I just woke up :) [12:38] Im currently running kubuntu 9.04. I upgraded the motherboard and display controller. Now my system wont boot. What is the easiest way to make things roll? [12:38] JontheEchidna: I know that feeling ;) [12:38] gioele: I do not believe there is a standard KDE shortcut for pause and play, though [12:38] now im using old 7.04 which I booted from cd [12:39] JontheEchidna: yes there is (at least it appears in my global shortcuts dialog) [12:39] not all apps even have global shortcuts by default, I don't think [12:39] one for all apps? [12:39] I just dont want to install 7.04 and then upgrade the whole thing. And I dont know if I could burn a bootable cd while on livecd.. ;/ [12:42] arWi: when you say "your system wont boot" cant you tell me exactly what happens? [12:43] jussi01: something about trying to access block (or something) outsite partition. And sometimes it says something about bad crc. after this it will return to grub. i [12:44] Jussi01: and I did try the recovery mode [12:44] arWi: try following the lost grub after windows instructions as told by the bot [12:44] !grub [12:44] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [12:44] Im off now, laters. [12:44] jussi01: perhaps I should try with some kernel boot parameters which could provide some debug info? [12:45] xddd [12:45] jussi01: Ill try. tnx. [12:46] gioele: Yeah, there's no place I can see where you can set one keybinding that will work with all applications. In the Global Keyboard Shortcuts section of the Keyboard and Mouse module you can change default global keybindings per application [12:46] but I can't see any standard KDE play shortcut [12:46] kaffeine doesn't even have a global binding by default [12:47] juk uses crtl+alt+p [12:47] and then amarok uses metza + c [12:47] *meta [12:55] JontheEchidna: you are right: in the Global keyboard shortcut you select independent components. So these shortcuts are not really global. [12:55] gioele: they are global in that they work even when the app does not have focus [12:56] So the really important point is to make them _standard_ keyboard shortcuts and to set them to the default XF86Media* keycodes (at least on Linux) [12:56] yeah [12:58] JontheEchidna: can you raise these points to the kde-devel mailing list? [12:58] eek :P [12:58] I know somebody who tried to do this in the past. I think I'll consult him [12:59] well, he tried to do similar shortcut unification [13:01] JontheEchidna: I remember something on XDG in 2003, but I think it has not been expanded to the then-standardized Media keys [13:01] eh... XDG is sadly mostly dead these days :( [13:02] somehting of a revival may be trying to happen, so there's hope [13:04] helo [13:31] hello === virginia is now known as desconocida [13:32] hi [13:35] hi, i'm using kde4.3 and need to print a selection of pages (e.g., 5-8), but don't see the option?!? am I missing it on a different tab.

[16:34] ok [16:35] well a windows game dev's knowledge of the exact commands to call would not transfer. their understanding of how to make graphics and physics and such work would of course transfer [16:35] But make an interface to OpenGL such that same commands will work [16:35] sounds like a chunk of wine [16:35] Would it help the devs to make the game available for both linux and windows [16:36] wine lets you run windows programs [16:36] its a little more complicated === LjL-Temp is now known as LjL [16:36] or maybe someone has an ir remote at all working?

The disk is pretty big so i'm using a large home partition (400GiB). Now i've formated it with ext4 and reiserfs. The partition used disk space for ext4 is 6.6 Gib! while with reiserfs it's a few hundreds MiB. Is that normal? [18:17] i cant connect to the network it does detect the signal i i gave it the web key but still wont connect [18:18] @ubuntu are you shure that your wireless drivers are installed correctly [18:19] yes [18:19] and by normal I mean ext4 using larger disk space than reiserfs [18:19] it does detect an open source from my house [18:19] and it does connect [18:19] but here at weoprk wont connect even by giving it the web key [18:19] gooler: I assume it's matter of journal or similar [18:19] plasmoid network manager is blah for encrypted networks in jaunty [18:20] try wicd or something instead [18:20] how do i do that_ [18:20] ? [18:21] Tm_T: thanks, i'll go with reiserfs for the home partition [18:22] gooler: it is possible that reiser does use same or more when you have data there, cannot say but it's possible === dmg^ is now known as d6mag [18:22] kutuZov what is apt? [18:22] aptitude [18:23] if you install it with apt-get install there must be an output [18:23] so whats wicd? [18:24] !info wicd [18:24] wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager. In component universe, is optional.

I'm #kubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [18:26] ubottu) and back home it does connect to an open wireless server with no problem at all but here at work it just wont connect [18:26] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:26] why is this happening_ [18:26] ? [18:27] ubuntu: ubottu is a bot we use to pull up info like as !info wicd makes it recite about the package called wicd [18:27] ok thanks for that explanation [18:28] but my question is why does the laptop get connected to an open wireless server and here at work wont connect_ [18:28] ? [18:29] can you help me on this matter genii please?? [18:32] ubuntu: it is more complicated to connect to encrypted wireless, besides, it might be you did not chose correct encryption type and password type [18:32] well i already type it several times but it just wont connect [18:32] anyway you thiunk wicd is better_ [18:32] ? [18:33] ubuntu: what type of encryption they use in work? [18:33] infinitum [18:33] here is [18:33] multiple times verifyed [18:34] INFINITUMC2BAD [18:34] wb key> [18:34] 0572b4c700 [18:34] ubuntu: The usual types are: WEP WPA WPA2 [18:34] types of encryption : WEP, WPA, WPA2 [18:34] wep [18:35] that one is not very safe :) [18:35] is the one infinitum gave at the company [18:36] so is wicd better ? can it be installed on kubuntu? how do i get that? [18:37] sometimes there is a checkbox to type in the key in ascii or hex [18:37] exactlly [18:37] actually let me tell you [18:37] it does detect the signal but for somereason it says INFINITUM0C2BAD [18:38] type it in hex [18:38] hex? lets c [18:38] ubuntu: where exactly does it says INFINITUM0C2BAD? [18:39] if i richt click on the network manager it appears the wireless signals [18:39] there [18:39] and is not that [18:39] its got to be INFINITUMC2BAD [18:39] without the 0 [18:41] ubuntu: if you want to try wicd, just instal it by: sudo apt-get install wicd [18:41] OK [18:42] so i need to conect it with wired [18:42] lets see [18:42] <_dvorak_> \close [18:42] anyway, you should clarify with responsible in work correct exact name of wifi network and password [18:42] good point! [18:42] i know but how do i correct it? [18:42] wicd is in universe, it may not find it with stock repo list. also you need to do sudo apt-get update before an install of anything, to fetch a list [18:43] it wont let me [18:43] and chose hex as type of password [18:43] wher do i find hex? sorry that is kind a strange for me [18:44] it should be in the same window where you type in the password [18:44] no [18:44] it doesn give that choice [18:45] check what types of wep are available [18:45] it is probably picklist or something [18:45] does someone at your work may help you with the connection? [18:45] i have 2 [18:45] both are wep [18:46] no none here knows kubuntu [18:48] but they may know how to connect a wireless [18:48] nop [18:48] ubuntu: u r using kubuntu jaunty? === william is now known as Guest50294 [18:48] 8.04.2 [18:49] * dmatt forgot what channel i am on [18:49] let me check [18:49] Hardy :) [18:49] yes === wsulug is now known as guppy_ [18:51] Hi, where is the kadressbook file contacs? === matthew is now known as Guest72693 [18:54] I found, the file is std.vcf :-) [18:54] ubuntu: where it says WEP it is actually picklist, so choose WEP 40/104-bit hex [18:56] and there is another picklist for advanced settings, try also second option if first does not work [18:59] ubuntu: are you still there?

[19:17] maco and robin0800: thank you for your help with the network manager ... the wicb worked to a point but I still was not able to connect to the wireless for some reason I think it had to do with an ip address [19:20] Using meta+mousewheel to zoom desktop using the KDE desktop effects...

[22:24] hackndoes: try opening it with the following command: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype [22:24] the latest i got from skype [22:24] varanus_: thanks will try that now [22:24] skype 2.1.0 in medibuntu [22:25] mine is 2.0 and it was working [22:25] the video format of skype is a bit old, i use skype with ps3 eye webcam with this command that converts the signal to one supported by skype [22:25] (well at least was working, since it seems my webcam is not recognized anymore =) ) [22:26] gtg, gnight all [22:26] nn [22:27] varanus_: tried it, it seem to work for cam (not sure till talk to someone) but i can this at console: -> bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) [22:27] seems audio is scrued? [22:27] it's working though [22:27] the mic is integrated to the webcam?

[22:40] it's very important to me cause my gf left for china for 4 months (more like my wife to be) and i see her and everything but she doesn't see me [22:40] varanus_: yes, works great [22:40] i think, i will only know when i talk to her [22:40] happy to hear that. i know how it is :) [22:41] if it works in the settings and you can hear you voice from skype test calling service then most probably it's ok [22:41] before it worked for me locally but on the call window it was green so real time willl be the best test [22:41] hackndoes: gl then. [22:41] gl? [22:41] oh good luck [22:42] good luck :) [22:42] thanks, i really hope it will work [22:42] and goodnight [22:42] ;) [22:42] you helped me a lot [22:42] it will [22:42] good night [22:42] nn === e is now known as Guest16129 === patrick is now known as Guest71548 === Guest16129 is now known as e__ [23:04] greetings, I'm running netbook-remix and since my last dist-upgrade I can't get the desktop to load completely, the splash screen shows and when it gets to the desktop icon it goes black and dumps me back into kdm.. I've done another dist-upgrade thinking it might help but it hasn't.. what can i do to fix outside of reinstall? thx in advance [23:05] kubuntu-netbook-remix to be specific :) [23:06] jjessie: iirc u can select another session in kdm... [23:07] Fanfare: yes, my other choice is failsafe which also dumps me back to the login.. I've tried moving .kde to .kde_bak to let kde make new conf files but that doesn't seem to help [23:08] I really don't want to re-install I've finally got things the way I want them.. if I could just figure out how to get kde running again I'd be golden [23:08] jjessie: hm, the diff between netbook and regular is plasma-netbook insted of plasma-desktop... [23:08] yes afaik [23:10] jjessie: i think reinstalling all plasma things... but just a guess... [23:10] !kde3 is Kubuntu 8.04 ships with KDE3 and full support. Jaunty and Karmic do not include KDE3 but a remix install CD can be obtained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty or https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Karmic. This is not officially supported. Support, instructions and ways to contribute can be found on the wiki pages [23:10] Fanfare: one of the errors in .xsession-errors says "plasma-netbook: cannot connect to X server :0" [23:11] perhaps this is my problem.. but why wouldn't it have access?? and if that's the problem startx as root should fix but it doesn't [23:13] i think i like the kubuntu enviroment over ubuntu [23:14] is that the only difference? === ubuntu is now known as Roey [23:14] hi all [23:14] question... [23:14] I *really* need help here and it's not that complicated I don't think.. [23:15] I have md0, md1, md2 and md3 [23:15] these are mapped to /dev/sd{a,b}1, /dev/sd{a,b}2, /dev/sd{a,b}3 and /dev/sd{a,b}4, rspectively [23:16] I have an old ubuntu install on /dev/md0 (that is, /dev/sda{a,b}1) that the system keeps trying to boot to [23:16] even though I completely wiped it out with mkfs.ext4 /dev/md0 [23:16] I tried installing grub on /dev/md1 (that is, /dev/sd{a,b}2 [23:16] but the thing keeps trying to boot with /boot on /dev/md0 (that is, /dev/sd{a,b}1) [23:17] how do I RMOVE grub off of /dev/md0 ?? [23:20] Roey: How did you reinstall Grub? [23:20] Roey: You will need to run setup(sdx) for EVERY drive in your system, [23:20] grub>boot /dev/sda2 [23:20] hrm [23:20] I only have two drives in this softraid1 array btw [23:21] so grub>setup sda1 [23:21] Roey: Yes [23:21] grub>setup sdb1 [23:21] ? [23:21] er, sda2 and sdb2 [23:21] and how do I remove it from sda1 and sdb1? [23:21] Roey: I don't think you can [23:21] Roey: GRUB really " [23:21] Roey: GRUB really "wants" to be installed on the MBR [23:21] so how will it know to boot off of /dev/sda2 and not /dv/sda1 if grub's on both of them? [23:21] ah [23:21] well let it. [23:21] root is on /dev/sda3 [23:21] Roey: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:22] the problem is that /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb2 are tiny... about 100 megs [23:22] Roey: Right, that's why you run setup() for each and every drive [23:22] why do you write setup() [23:22] ? [23:22] is this th syntax? [23:23] Yes: from the Grub command line, you run root(md0) , then setup(sdx) for each and every drive. Each time you run setup(), Grub is installed to that drive or partition. [23:23] If you install Grub to the MBR, the old Grub files sitting in the partitions will be ignored === yofel_ is now known as yofel__ === yofel__ is now known as yofel [23:24] so lemme get this straight: [23:24] Your BIOS may select a drive almost randomly to boot from (I have a BIOS that does that as well); this is why Grub must be installed on every drive's MBR [23:24] how do I write it to th MBR then? [23:24] using setup(sdx) instead of setup(sdx1) [23:24] Where sdx is sda, or sdb, etc [23:25] okay [23:25] and I have my /boot on /dev/sda2 [23:25] er [23:25] /dev/md2 [23:25] nono, /dev/md1 [23:25] so setup(sda) [23:25] setup(sdb) [23:25] I'm running now from a livecd btw [23:26] Yup--but first you have to run root(hdn,m), where n and m are the drive number and partition of your boot files, respectively [23:26] To find that data, go to the Grub command line and type find /grub/stage1 [23:26] It will spit out a list of hard drives and partition numbers where the boot files are located [23:27] Error 15: File not found [23:27] Try find /boot/grub/stage1 [23:27] On the LiveCD, you may have to mount /dev and /proc to get Grub to function properly [23:27] they're already mounted [23:28] Have you chrooted into the filesystem (just being thorough ;)) [23:28] omg [23:28] :) [23:28] nin [23:28] *nein [23:28] Roey: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:28] So I'm on a liveCD currently--my system gives me "error 15" from Grub when I try to boot it without it. [23:29] Right; that means that the root() command was wrong [23:29] kb9vqf_: can I set root to an md device? [23:29] instead of to /dev/sda2 ? [23:29] Yes, but only if it is a mirroring array [23:29] (yes I know the syntax is diffrent) [23:29] ah [23:29] ys it is. [23:30] Then the find command should pick up _something_ [23:30] it doesn't [23:30] If it doesn't, then your boot partition is not installed correctly [23:30] oik [23:30] *ok [23:30] What's the best method for creating a backup from one drive to another? [23:31] I man , in a fit of exasperation I issued mkfs.ext4 /dev/md0 [23:31] wiping out /boot [23:31] Old drive is all on one partition. The new drive split '/' and '/home' [23:31] For the boot files, mount the old boot partition and the new boot partition, then cp -Rp from one to the other [23:31] (I have a /boot on /dev/md1 that I want to switch it to anyway) [23:31] ah, true. [23:32] Well, once you have /boot back in place, re-issue the find command and use the root() command in Grub [23:32] That should get you running :) [23:32] hmm ok. [23:32] How do I start raid again? [23:32] I tried: [23:32] mdadm --assemble --scan [23:32] dmraid -a /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 [23:33] ahhhhhhhhhh one sec [23:33] Roey: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:33] then try a cat /proc/mdstat [23:33] (to make sure the arrays are actually online) [23:35] Anyway, I have to run, so if you want more help send me a poke; I might respond if I'm around later. Good luck! [23:35] oh: [23:35] I've managed to star tthe array and copy the contents of /dev/md1's /boot to /dev/md0 [23:35] That was fast! OK, go back to Grub and try the find command [23:35] if I reset, will grub detect the kernel there? [23:35] ah, one sec. [23:36] Probably not [23:36] is it 'find /boot/grub/Stage1.5' ? [23:37] also, must I have /dev/md0 on /boot now? [23:37] No, it's: find /grub/stage1 [23:37] Yes [23:37] I've mounted it in /mnt [23:37] ah, oik. [23:37] Well, not right now, but when you reboot, yes [23:37] hey does anyone know how to add aoss to the launcher link of teamspeak? [23:37] well for the purposes of running grub right now though [23:37] Roey: Just make sure you update your /etc/fstab file before rebooting === ubuntu_ is now known as afeijo [23:38] grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 [23:38] find /boot/grub/stage1 [23:38] Error 15: File not found [23:38] hey does anyone know how to add aoss to the launcher link of teamspeak?

[23:39] Hmmm, no stage1 file? [23:39] That would be your problem! [23:39] hrm doesn't look like. [23:39] ah! [23:39] ok [23:39] how can I fix this? [23:39] setup(sda) and setup(sdb) ? [23:39] No [23:39] Roey: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:39] oh [23:39] can I play divx files with the k9.04 livecd ? [23:39] The Grub package wasn't installed [23:40] eeeek [23:40] You might be able to fix it by mimicking the complete filesystem on the LiveCD, then running apt-get install grub [23:40] that's what I thought of doing [23:40] For example, you would need to mount your root device in, say, /disk, then mount your boot partition in /disk/boot [23:40] then chroot /disk [23:41] I am repartitioning my HD, it will take looong time, so I was wanting to watch some videos ;) but I cant install vlc :( help [23:41] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /tmp/ [23:41] root@ubuntu:/# ls /boot/ [23:41] abi-2.6.31-14-generic grub memtest86+.bin vmcoreinfo-2.6.31-14-generic [23:41] config-2.6.31-14-generic initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic System.map-2.6.31-14-generic vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic [23:41] Roey: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:41] Roey: that might work--try it! [23:42] If it says Grub is already installed, run "" [23:42] aptitude reinstall grub-pc [23:42] or [23:42] aptitude reinstall grub [23:42] kb9vqf_: not grub? [23:42] (depending on the version of Grub you have installed) [23:42] what is the difference?

It should auto-detect your boot partition I guess [23:46] Try /usr/sbin/grub-install [23:46] to install grub on each of your hard drives [23:46] you mean /dev/sda and /dev/sdb [23:46] or /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 [23:46] Technically, it would be /usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/sda [23:46] er [23:46] and /usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/sdb [23:46] oh, ok [23:47] You should see Grub auto-detecting your filesystem when you run those commands [23:47] how do I make it boot off /dev/md1 (that is, /dev/sd{a,b}2) > [23:47] root@ubuntu:/# /usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/sda [23:47] grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub.
