| chinoto | Anyone know how to use grub2 to boot isos? | 09:02 |
|---|---|---|
| chinoto | trying to add the iso of "Trinity Rescue Kit 3.3" to a usb for recovery in addition to a few other isos | 09:03 |
| chinoto | I think all I need is to know what to put after "linux (loop)/kernel.trk" in grub.cfg | 09:05 |
| chinoto | I think I got it, brb | 09:09 |
| chinoto | (need to reboot to test) | 09:09 |
| chinoto | nvm, I have no idea what I'm doing | 09:10 |
| damian | apparently I was supposed to do (hd0,2) because the second argument is 1-based rather than 0-based | 09:28 |
| damian | but now trinity can't find itself because it expected itself to be located on a cdrom drive rather than a iso on a usb | 09:29 |
| tonyyarusso | Yeah, that nonsense of having one of them 0-based and the other 1-based is tricky. | 18:39 |
| ubuntu_ | it doesn't see the iso, yet it manages to load anyway... | 20:10 |
| kermit | while upgrading to ubuntu 10.4, my system locked up, i had to power cycle, now X wont even load, what should i do? | 20:51 |

| Obsidian1723 | You upgraded from 91.0? | 21:53 |
| Obsidian1723 | 9.10 | 21:53 |
| kermit | yes | 21:54 |
| kermit | someone said do aptitute dist-upgrade from a terminal | 21:54 |
| Obsidian1723 | yeah, the upgrades SOMETIMES work. | 21:55 |
| * tonyyarusso headdesks | 21:55 | |
| kermit | i had set some /proc/sys/vm stuff really high, i think i had a memory deadlock | 21:55 |
| kermit | i'll set it lower now | 21:56 |
| Obsidian1723 | If you wanmt hack and slah at it for hours you can, but really, I'd load the Live CD and copy your /home over to an external hard drive, then just reformat the PC. | 21:56 |
| Obsidian1723 | Do a clean install. | 21:56 |
| kermit | i set the background ratio and ratio to 100 hehe | 21:56 |
| kermit | now i set it to 50/75 | 21:56 |
| tonyyarusso | kermit: No. To do an upgrade you either use update-manager for a GUI or do-release-upgrade from CLI. Never do a dist-upgrade directly. | 21:56 |
| Obsidian1723 | Upgrades are messy. | 21:56 |
| tonyyarusso | (You'd know this if you read the instructions....) | 21:56 |
| kermit | tonyyarusso: release-upgrade? from aptitude? | 21:57 |
| kermit | what instructions? i have no GUI | 21:57 |
| tonyyarusso | kermit: No. Just 'do-release-upgrade'. That's the command. | 21:57 |
| tonyyarusso | kermit: The instructions posted online every time there's a new release. | 21:57 |
| kermit | tonyyarusso: oh ok thanks | 21:57 |
| kermit | they post CLI instructions? huh.. i figured webbrowsing in text mode would be futile in 2010 | 21:57 |
| kermit | omg is that hail? | 21:58 |
| Obsidian1723 | Iveh ad the worse luck with dist upgrades, so I just reformat. | 21:58 |
| tonyyarusso | kermit: people have to upgrade servers sometime - might as well tell them how. | 21:58 |
| kermit | tonyyarusso: oh good point | 21:58 |
| kermit | tonyyarusso: should i ^C the apt-get dist-upgrade then? | 21:58 |
| kermit | and use the command you suggest | 21:58 |
| kermit | oh its done | 21:59 |
| tonyyarusso | http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 21:59 |
| tonyyarusso | For future reference | 21:59 |
| kermit | in the future i'm hoping not to crash during the GUI upgrade | 21:59 |
| kermit | but i'll write it down | 21:59 |
| kermit | tonyyarusso: oh i hadnt started apt-get dist-updtae afterall, just some dpkg command it told me to.. the command you said said i'm already upgrade, so i'm doing aptitude dist-upgrade which is doing lots of things | 22:02 |
