| Doorman352 | I've heard several recomendations that if I want to explore Ubuntu Server with a GUI, I should just start with the Desktop version instead. It the "server" will reside on a network without direct access to the internet, is there any real reason I should use Ubuntu Server over Desktop? | 00:24 |
|---|---|---|
| twb | Doorman352: ubuntu server and ubuntu desktop only differ in the set of packages installed by default, and the set of packages "cached" on the install medium. | 00:31 |
| twb | In particular, the server has different compile-time options for the kernel. | 00:31 |
| Doorman352 | OK, so if I wanted to setup and indefinite "sandbox" using desktop as long as I dont put out on the net I shouldn't expect any issues? | 00:32 |
| twb | There is no reason you could not install either "flavour" and then turn it into the other flavour with a few well-placed aptitude calls. | 00:32 |
| Doorman352 | I didn't find a comparison between the kernals, etc... just trying to get experience playing with it and breaking it... | 00:33 |
| Doorman352 | and of course fixing it.. | 00:33 |
| twb | There is a package that will deliberately break your system in different ways so that you can try finding and fixing the problem | 00:33 |
| twb | I can't remember the package's name... | 00:33 |
| Doorman352 | I've lost most of my command line skills, been a long time since DOS, and unfortunately Ive become a visual person so its easier for me to navigate with the gui....... | 00:34 |
| ScottK | twb: In Karmic the i386 kernel is no longer different. | 00:34 |
| twb | ScottK: no -server variant? | 00:34 |
| Doorman352 | Not sure I really need help breaking it....seem to have that down. :) | 00:34 |
| ScottK | Not on i386 | 00:34 |
| ScottK | You get pushed to generic on upgrade | 00:34 |
| Doorman352 | I settled on 9.04 server for now..... | 00:35 |
| twb | ScottK: what was the rationale? Simply that there were no options that needed to be different? | 00:35 |
| ScottK | Dunno | 00:35 |
| Doorman352 | Cool, I have 3 elderly servers dedicated to my "learning" LINUX so I'll just load desktop for now and see what I can do...... anything toward my final goal of not having Microsoft servers anymore... | 00:36 |
| twb | I'm amazed that anyone ever had a Microsoft server. | 00:38 |
| twb | Xenix, maybe, or TS as a thin client-type arrangement... | 00:38 |
| twb | Doorman352: note that headless servers can still display GUI apps on remote Unix systems, because X11 is network-transparent | 00:39 |
| twb | Doorman352: so even if you need a GUI, you don't need to install Xorg on your server -- just the X apps you need. | 00:39 |
| twb | However #ubuntu-server (unsurprisingly) encourages people to learn to administer servers from the command line. | 00:40 |
| ScottK | Doorman352: If it's just for play/learning you won't notice the difference between the generic and server kernels. | 00:41 |
| twb | Is there a channel for libvirt/virt-manager? | 00:42 |
| twb | Never mind. I was gonna ask if it would supported LXC, but apparently it already does: "libvirt supports: Xen, QEMU, KVM, LXC, OpenVZ, User Mode Linux, VirtualBox, VMware ESX and GSX" (http://libvirt.org/) | 00:45 |
| mdeslaur | anyone see zul? he's MIA... | 00:51 |
| ScottK | Oh my, Canadians lost in Texas.... | 00:52 |
| mdeslaur | ScottK: I don't think he made it to TX... | 00:52 |
| ScottK | Oh. | 00:52 |
| * ScottK is still on the plane ride there. | 00:52 | |
| mdeslaur | ScottK: you have irc on the plane?? | 00:53 |
| ScottK | mdeslaur: Yes. It was a pleasant suprise. | 00:53 |
| mdeslaur | wow, cool! | 00:53 |
| ScottK | More fun than a movie and about the same price. | 00:53 |
| ajmitch | more useful, too | 00:54 |
| twb | They didn't confiscate all your worldly possessions before allowing you to fly? | 00:56 |
| ScottK | Nope. | 00:57 |
| ScottK | This is a domestic flight for me. | 00:57 |
| twb | I thought .us did that even for domestic flights | 00:58 |
| ScottK | Not quite as much. | 01:00 |
| twb | Also, doesn't .us have a decent rail network? Or is that only set up for freight, rather than passengers? | 01:01 |
| ScottK | Depends on where you are. | 01:01 |
| ScottK | Up and down the east and parts of the west coast, it's great. | 01:02 |
| twb | The Europeans seem to take trains everywhere. | 01:02 |
| ScottK | Well the US is big. | 01:02 |
| ScottK | If I was going to take the train, I'd have had to leave yesterday or maybe Friday | 01:02 |
| twb | Fair enough | 01:02 |
| ScottK | I did take the train to UDS Boston. | 01:03 |
| twb | Apparently .us is 9,826,675 km^2 and .au (where I am) is 7,617,930 km^2. | 01:04 |
| twb | But our rail infrastructure is abysmal, I think mainly because by the time whitey turned up here, the automobile was in vogue. | 01:05 |
| ScottK | I doubt cross country train trips are popular in .au either | 01:05 |
| twb | ScottK: well, nobody wants to go to the west coast of .au in the first place ;-) | 01:06 |
| ajmitch | probably because there's not really a lot there to see | 01:07 |
| twb | strip mines | 01:07 |
| ScottK | Well when I was in the Navy, I always heard Perth was a great liberty port. | 01:07 |
| ScottK | Never made it there though | 01:08 |
| === mike is now known as Guest64153 | ||
| twb | ScottK: what does "liberty" mean in this context? | 01:08 |
| ScottK | Time to shut down for landing. See you all later. | 01:08 |
| ScottK | twb: Pulling into port and having a break from being at sea. | 01:08 |
| ajmitch | one of the running jokes for LCA is the proposal to have LCA in broome | 01:08 |
| ScottK | It was mostly single guys that highly approved of it for some reason. | 01:09 |

| Blank__ | Hi, I've just upgraded my server to karmic and there appears to have been an issue with md... it drops to a busybox shell after claiming that /dev/md0 doesn't exist | 02:47 |
| Blank__ | i've managed to enable /dev/md0 by running mdadm --assemble --scan, however i can't run update-initramfs as suggested in this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/128313 | 02:48 |
| uvirtbot | Launchpad bug 128313 in ubuntu "/dev/md0 does not exist. Dropping to a shell." [Undecided,Invalid] | 02:48 |
| Blank__ | The only way I can see of solving it is by booting from cd, which will be irritating for me... perhaps i should stop whinging and just get to it and see what happens | 02:50 |
| Blank__ | i've tried running update-initramfs -k all -c -t | 03:00 |
| Blank__ | it rebuilds them all, but still no change; my server's not a happy koala | 03:00 |
| === MarwolTuk_ is now known as MarwolTuk | ||
| twb | Blank__: why doesn't update-initramfs -u -k all work? | 03:18 |
| twb | Blank__: do you get any output from that command? If so, please pastebin it. | 03:18 |
| pmatulis | Blank__: what kind of machine is this? | 03:20 |
| Blank__ | twb: i can only run update-initramfs from the livecd in recovery mode | 03:28 |
| soren | kirkland: pong | 03:29 |
| Blank__ | it has no problem building them | 03:29 |
| Blank__ | pmatulis, it's just a celeron 2.4ghz... | 03:29 |
| pmatulis | Blank__: any onboard raid? | 03:29 |
| pmatulis | Blank__: sounds like there may be some fakeraid there | 03:29 |
| Blank__ | this has only happened with the new kernel, if i attempt booting with 2.6.28-11 there's a lot of broken stuff but md0 works | 03:30 |
| Blank__ | yeah it's software raid, pmatulis | 03:30 |
| pmatulis | Blank__: but is there any fakeraid onboard? | 03:30 |
| Blank__ | i fear the array isn't being assembled with the new (karmic) kernel | 03:30 |
| Blank__ | nope, it's entirely software based | 03:30 |
| twb | software raid isn't fakeraid | 03:30 |
| pmatulis | Blank__: yes or no, is there a fakeraid chip on your motherboard? | 03:31 |
| Blank__ | pmatulis, no | 03:31 |
| twb | software raid is md raid. fakeraid happens beneath md's visibility, but it uses the CPU instead of a co-processor to perform the RAID operations. | 03:31 |
| pmatulis | Blank__: ok then | 03:31 |
| Blank__ | to tell the truth it's a raid1 array of two 40GB IDE drives x_x | 03:31 |
| pmatulis | Blank__: b/c i had a very similar problem and it was b/c some previous fakeraid config was on the drives, karmic seemed to take offense or get confused | 03:32 |
| twb | It would be unusual to find a modern motherboard *without* a sata fakeraid controller on it, but you can usually disable that controller in the BIOS and set it to "just a bunch of disks, please". | 03:32 |
| Blank__ | i'm wondering if purging mdadm and reinstalling it would work | 03:32 |
| twb | Blank__: very unlikely | 03:32 |
| Blank__ | twb, this motherboard is probably from about 2004, and lacks any SATA whatsoever | 03:32 |
| twb | Blank__: if mdadm -A --scan works, and /etc/mdadm.conf contains reasonable entries for all your md devices, then rebuilding the initramfs should be sufficient to make it work again. | 03:33 |
| twb | Blank__: that is, unless you have fucked with the default settings -- for example, telling mdadm to only assemble what it needs, rather than all devices it can find. | 03:33 |
| Blank__ | i don't understand why it works fine with my old jaunty kernel but not with karmic's stock kernel | 03:33 |
| Blank__ | nah twb, running mdadm --assemble --scan works fine | 03:33 |
| pmatulis | Blank__: when you installed did you get prompted something like "raid detected, do you want to activate these devcies"? | 03:34 |
| Blank__ | and i haven't touched the mdadm settings | 03:34 |
| twb | Blank__: you may also wish to piss about in /etc/fstab in case it has changed from UUID to LABEL or to a device file. | 03:34 |
| pmatulis | Blank__: actually, scratch that, you said this was an upgrade | 03:34 |
| Blank__ | i upgraded from jaunty to karmic without the cd, and it never made any mention of raid detection, pmatulis | 03:34 |
| Blank__ | yeah | 03:34 |
| Blank__ | i'll have a look in fstab, twb | 03:34 |
| Blank__ | err, what's the command to list UUIDs, again? | 03:36 |
| twb | vol_id or ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -l | 03:38 |
| Blank__ | can't see anything wrong with fstab, twb | 03:39 |
| Blank__ | besides, if it works alright with the old kernel, surely there must be something specific to the new one that's screwing up | 03:39 |
| twb | Blank__: sorry, so it all still works with the old kernel? | 03:40 |
| twb | Blank__: this is news to me: I thought *all* your kernels were screwed | 03:40 |
| Blank__ | i can basically boot into the old kernel, however due to broken dependencies i can't really do anything, plus /dev/md0 is claiming it's read only | 03:40 |
| twb | Blank__: maybe your problem is simply that your array is degraded? | 03:42 |
| Blank__ | with 2.6.31-whatever it is, it gets up to mounting the root folder, then waits for a while, then drops to busybox claiming /dev/md0 doesn't exist, and it's right, ls /dev/md* says not found | 03:42 |
| twb | Blank__: add bootdegraded=yes to your boot prompt | 03:42 |
| Blank__ | ok, hang on | 03:42 |
| twb | Also check /proc/mdstat and /var/log/* when you are dumped into the busybox | 03:43 |
| Blank__ | twb, add it to the kernel arguments? | 03:43 |
| twb | Yes | 03:44 |
| Blank__ | hasn't changed | 03:45 |
| Blank__ | cat /proc/mdstat shows no unused devices | 03:45 |
| Blank__ | lemme check logs | 03:45 |
| Blank__ | ah... there's no log folder | 03:45 |
| Blank__ | presumably because rootfs is mounted to / | 03:46 |

| Blank__ | twb, i've just realised the new kernel shipped with karmic is a -generic instead of -server?! | 03:58 |
| Blank__ | seems the box didn't upgrade correctly, i've just run apt-get dist-upgrade and its come up with 158MB worth of packages | 04:06 |
| pmatulis | Blank__: were you using a 32bit kernel in jaunty? | 04:09 |

| pmatulis | right, there is no 32bit server kernel in karmic | 04:22 |
| Blank__ | yeah | 04:26 |
| Blank__ | well it's all working now | 04:26 |
| Blank__ | after running dist-upgrade and sorting out a few more dependencies, the generic-pae kernel is working for me | 04:26 |

| xperia2 | hello to all ! i am searching information how to configure bind9 on my ubuntu server with options like this "allow-recursion" "allow-query" "allow-cache-query" | 04:47 |
| xperia2 | till yet i have used in my router configuration the opendns servers for webbrowsing but some experts told me by reconfigure my bind9 server i dont need anymore the opendns server or even my isp dns servers. | 04:47 |
| xperia2 | It is called somehow recursive querys i believe. | 04:47 |
| xperia2 | What i dont want for sure is some bind9 cashing dns server that still depend on my isp dns server or only a dns server that can handle two domains and forward then the rest to the isp dns server! | 04:47 |
| xperia2 | Can bind9 really be used as a replacement for the isp dns servers or even the open dns servers ? | 04:47 |
| Guest57963 | xperia2: Yes, it really can. | 04:48 |
| jmarsden | xperia2: Yes, bind9 will work as a real DNS server, not just a caching one, if you ask it to. | 04:51 |
| xperia2 | woow. i am searchin since yesterday for information how to achieve this but cant find anything that point me in this direction | 04:52 |
| xperia2 | the wikipage of ubuntu dont has also anything in this direction https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto | 04:52 |
| xperia2 | do you know some howtos about this ? | 04:52 |
| jmarsden | Not really, I just have been using bind for DNS since about 1994 :) What problem are you having with it? | 04:52 |
| xperia2 | i need it to configure it :-) at the moment it works great to resolve my domains | 04:53 |
| xperia2 | as a authoritive dns server | 04:53 |
| jmarsden | OK. Maybe if you pastebin your current named.conf I can see what is missing? | 04:53 |
| xperia2 | okay give me just a moment | 04:54 |
| xperia2 | jmarsden: http://paste-bin.com/view/bf0c8463 | 04:55 |
| jmarsden | Looks fine. Lines 11 to 15 should be allowing it to resolve other domains also. | 04:56 |
| jmarsden | If you do dig @1.2.3.4 yahoo.com # where 1.2.3.4 is your server's Ip address... what happens? | 04:56 |
| xperia2 | hmmm but when i ssh to the ubuntu server and execute there this here "dig @192.168.1.90 yahoo.com" i get | 04:57 |
| xperia2 | $ dig @192.168.1.90 yahoo.com | 04:57 |
| xperia2 | ; <<>> DiG 9.5.0-P2 <<>> @192.168.1.90 yahoo.com | 04:58 |

| xperia2 | ;; global options: printcmd | 04:58 |
| xperia2 | ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached | 04:58 |
| xperia2 | 192.168.1.90 is the local ip of my ubuntu server | 04:58 |
| xperia2 | should i use the static wan ip number instead ? | 04:58 |
| === FireCrotch_ is now known as FireCrotch | ||
| jmarsden | OK... your server is not really listening on 192.168.1.90 perhaps? On the server itself (once SSHed to it and at a shell prompt) using its local IP should be fine. | 04:59 |
| jmarsden | Does dig @192.168.1.90 yourdomain.com work fine? | 04:59 |
| jmarsden | where yourdomain.com is whatever your domain name that it is supposed to be authoritative for is. | 05:00 |
| xperia2 | strange if i do this here "dig @80.254.182.249 yahoo.com" it works ! | 05:00 |
| xperia2 | 80.254.182.249 is my static ip adress to the server | 05:00 |
| jmarsden | OK... now you need to describe your network configuratioj a little, this sounds more like a network issue than a DNS server config issue at this point. | 05:01 |
| jmarsden | What does ifconfig eth0 |grep "inet addr" return when run on the server? | 05:02 |
| xperia2 | jmarsden: yes resolving my domain name on my server with "dig @192.168.1.90 wificom.ch" works ! | 05:02 |
| xperia2 | only all other domains dont work ! | 05:02 |
| xperia2 | ifconfig eth0 |grep "inet addr" | 05:03 |
| xperia2 | inet addr:192.168.1.90 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | 05:03 |
| jmarsden | OK... maybe it *is* a DNS config thing. Can you pastebin me your named.conf.local and named.conf.options files, please? | 05:04 |
| xperia2 | why can i resolve my own domain with dig @192.168.1.90 wificom.ch but other domains like google.com dont work like this | 05:04 |
| xperia2 | dig @192.168.1.90 google.com | 05:04 |
| xperia2 | jmarsden: wait | 05:05 |
| jmarsden | That's what we are trying to find out :) Either the DNS server is configured not to recurse to look up other domains, or something is blocking the DNS traffic somewhere. | 05:05 |
| xperia2 | hmmm now it works for some reason but it take too long sometime ! | 05:06 |
| jmarsden | Can you pastebin me your named.conf.local and named.conf.options files, please? | 05:06 |
| xperia2 | jmarsden: it works allways on the second try. the first try fails ! | 05:08 |
| xperia2 | the second worksdig @192.168.1.90 nzz.ch | 05:08 |
| xperia2 | ; <<>> DiG 9.5.0-P2 <<>> @192.168.1.90 nzz.ch | 05:08 |
| xperia2 | ; (1 server found) | 05:08 |
| xperia2 | ;; global options: printcmd | 05:09 |
| xperia2 | ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached | 05:09 |
| xperia2 | the second try however works ! | 05:09 |
| xperia2 | dig @192.168.1.90 nzz.ch | 05:09 |
| xperia2 | ; <<>> DiG 9.5.0-P2 <<>> @192.168.1.90 nzz.ch | 05:09 |
| xperia2 | ; (1 server found) | 05:09 |
| xperia2 | so dig @192.168.1.90 yahoo.com and dig @192.168.1.90 google.com works now too ! | 05:09 |
| xperia2 | jmarsden: give me just a moment | 05:09 |
| xperia2 | http://paste-bin.com/view/1651ba03 | 05:10 |
| jmarsden | The "second try" thing is a little odd... sounds like something is timing out, but the second time it uses locally cached results from the first try and so works... let me look... | 05:10 |

| chimp_ | I'm trying to load balance accross adapters. I've looked at multiple solutions but none really fit. The spec is a program that will spit out http post commands containing ~50kb which need to be sent round robin style. The program will be sending this to a seperate box so wont have access to the routing table itself | 12:36 |
| chimp_ | A few solutions i've looked at include providing internal ip addresses in the separate box that convert to the external ip address but each ip address maps to a seperate iface. This lacks elegance as it then hardcodes the box to a certain ip | 12:38 |
| KurtKraut | chimp_, I belive many people will have a hard time to understand your scenario. If you receive very few proposals, I recommend you to try to draw this as an image scheme. | 12:38 |
| chimp_ | KurtKraut: Is there a website equivalent of pastebin that I could draw quickly in? | 12:40 |
| KurtKraut | chimp_, I was thinking in something like http://live.gnome.org/Dia | 12:40 |
| \sh | chimp_, load balancing accross adapters with different providers or one provider and loadbalancing a la portchannel? (or bond-mode 2) | 12:41 |
| KurtKraut | chimp_, it is packaged for ubuntu. | 12:41 |
| \sh | chimp_, something like this? http://www.sourcecode.de/content/network-setup-freaks-me-out | 12:42 |
| chimp_ | \sh: Different providers, bond mode would not work, and the issue is most things tend to have per packet load balancing, i need something per http post | 12:42 |
| \sh | chimp_, ugh | 12:43 |
| chimp_ | I've already played around with bonding on same network stuff and it works great in a round robin style packet per device, but it fails if you want to send a whole request per device | 12:43 |
| chimp_ | \sh: Yup ugh indeed. Which is why i've started looking at 'bodging' it | 12:44 |
| \sh | chimp_, ipvs a solution? | 12:44 |

| chimp_ | \sh: Sure, but its a really pathetic image | 13:57 |
| chimp_ | foolano: I'm looking at doing that but how do I mark each connection such that i know each connection is a separate http post | 13:58 |
| foolano | chimp_: if your client is not using some kind of keep-alive stuff to send packets through the same connection you could match NEW packets, I believe | 14:00 |
| chimp_ | http://82.29.106.44/load_balance.png | 14:00 |
| chimp_ | Unforunately it is using keep alive, but I could alter it not in order to make balancing work properly | 14:01 |
| foolano | chimp_: i guess that without the keep alive thing you can easily tell apart new connections from established connections | 14:03 |
| chimp_ | foolano: I have no idea how to create a rule that would mark new connections to an iface | 14:03 |
| chimp_ | foolano: Such that it's round robin/balanced | 14:03 |
| foolano | chimp_: have you ever done load balancing with iptables + iproute2? | 14:03 |
| chimp_ | Yes, but i've never given consideration to new connections | 14:04 |
| chimp_ | I'll need to read the docs some more :) | 14:04 |
| foolano | chimp_: it's the same principle | 14:04 |
| foolano | you just need to mark packets and send them through the table route you need | 14:04 |

| eix | with the 2.6.27-15 kernel update my server is no more booting, I get a file not found error. I have digged the problem and by specifying the correct path (it needed /boot before the kernel and initrd filenames) i get an initramfs because of partition not found (it is specified with uuid). then I specified root=auto and I got an /init syntax error at line 190 or something like that (with... | 16:52 |
| eix | ...kernel panic). will the 8.10 rescue disk fix this issue? please help me :( | 16:52 |
| eix | *initramfs prompt | 16:53 |
| ttx | ScottK: it's not available for schedule in the summit system yet. I propose Wed 17:00. | 16:53 |
| eix | any ideas? | 16:57 |
| zoopster | eix: you can boot the 8.10 disk, mount the filesystem, and fix it, but the question is why did this happen? The update "SHOULD" not have fubar'd your installation | 16:58 |
| eix | zoopster: I have no idea why this happened.. | 16:59 |
| zoopster | eix: so I suspect you have other issues - you cannot boot an older kernel? | 16:59 |
| eix | zoopster: the older -14 kernel says the same init syntax error | 16:59 |
| eix | zoopster: what could cause such init error? perhaps root=auto is failing to identify a root partition? | 16:59 |
| eix | zoopster: or perhaps an hard disk failure of the root partition? | 17:00 |
| eix | the server has a SATA disk and an IDE disk, boot partition is on the IDE disk while root partition is on the SATA disk | 17:00 |
| eix | however this has always worked in previous updates | 17:01 |
| eix | and I am sure no human intervention was done | 17:01 |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| zoopster | eix: not sure what is on line 190, but root=auto does not sound right - that should point to where the the kernel is found | 17:04 |
| eix | zoopster: yes but I read somewhere that it was supported | 17:05 |
| zoopster | eix: great, but if line 190 is that line and you get a syntax error then it's incorrect - I have never seen it listed that way...I have always seen root=(hd0,0) or something similar | 17:07 |
| zoopster | eix: sorry...that's root (hd0,0) no equals sign...my mistake | 17:07 |
| eix | zoopster: mistake: I am talking about the root kernel parameter | 17:07 |
| eix | zoopster: not the GRUB one | 17:08 |
| eix | zoopster: the default is kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-15-server root=uuid=... etc | 17:08 |
| eix | zoopster: and it always worked | 17:08 |
| eix | zoopster: but now I had to specify root=auto because the uuid is not recognized (it fails saying that time has elapsed and root device did not connect) | 17:09 |
| eix | zoopster: and because I don't recall the partition, so I thought auto would work | 17:09 |
| eix | root partition should be /dev/hda3 or /dev/sda3, but given that it changed so much over time..I typed auto | 17:10 |
| eix | (recent kernels should use /dev/sda3 if I recall correctly, however if it fails at seeing the uuid it is probably because that partition is somewhat broken) | 17:11 |
| eix | just to spice up things the BIOS cannot boot any USB stick, and RIP linux cds (both grub legacy and grub2) and system rescue cds don't boot | 17:13 |
| eix | the only booting CD is an ubuntu 2 cd | 17:13 |
| eix | now I am asking to try an ubuntu 8.10 cd | 17:13 |
| zoopster | eix: why not just run update-grub and see if that detects and fixes your menu.lst | 17:16 |
| eix | run update-grub from what? | 17:16 |
| baffle | Is there any documentation on setting up CLVM/clustering on Karmic? Should I use corosync? Is dlm in use? Does anyone really use clustering? :-) | 17:18 |
| zoopster | eix: cli | 17:18 |
| eix | zoopster: i cannot boot anything on this machine because cdroms dont work and USB sticks do neither | 17:18 |
| zoopster | eix: so you cannot even get to grub to manually run commands? | 17:19 |
| eix | yes I can get to grub | 17:19 |
| eix | ah you mean update-grub from grub command line? | 17:20 |
| eix | I'll give that a try in 10 minutes | 17:21 |
| zoopster | eix: so if your menu is hoarked but the kernel/initrd is good then just manually boot it and fix the menu | 17:23 |
| eix | zoopster: how can I if I get the init error? | 17:23 |
| zoopster | eix: once booted run update-grub to fix it for good | 17:23 |
| eix | zoopster: i can't because i get kernel panic (see my first post) | 17:23 |
| zoopster | eix: ok, my bad, I was making assumptions based on the information provided | 17:25 |
| eix | zoopster: ok - np | 17:26 |
| zoopster | eix: sounds like 1) you cannot boot from an alternative method and 2) you cannot boot what exists on your machine so you are pretty much hoarked. | 17:26 |
| eix | yes.. | 17:27 |
| eix | i will have to ask to put the hard disk on another machine | 17:27 |
| ttx | ScottK, mdz: done. It is not appearing in the server track color, but otherwise it's alright | 17:32 |
| eix | somebody here? | 17:34 |

| eix | these two very nice errors.. | 17:34 |
| eix | and also: | 17:34 |
| eix | mounting /proc on /root/proc - no such file or directory | 17:34 |
| eix | maybe it's not /dev/sda3 and it is /dev/hda3 or something? | 17:35 |
| zoopster | eix: could be any partition...depends on how you set it up | 17:35 |
| eix | zoopster: yes but who recalls | 17:35 |
| eix | zoopster: I found (thanks to the tab autocompletion key) that my root partition is (hd1,0) | 17:46 |
| eix | shall I use /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb1 ? | 17:46 |
| eix | I mean for the kernel root= parameter | 17:46 |
| eix | with /dev/sda1 it is miserably failing with same errors | 17:49 |
