| Venim | hmmm | 00:01 |
| Viking667 | hm. Does the xubuntu iso provide for a _update_ rather than a _install_? | 00:03 |
| Raggs | Viking667, i dont believe so, but there are ways of upgrading from one to a newer one | 00:05 |
| Venim | Raggs: hmm, that seems like it would be the issue | 00:05 |
| Venim | but i when i press S, nothing loads | 00:06 |
| Venim | just black screen | 00:06 |
| Viking667 | I want to actually install xubuntu to a existing Ubuntu 10.04 | 00:06 |
| Viking667 | but I have a bit of a problem. | 00:06 |
| Raggs | Venim, sorry, i just happened upon that, never had that error | 00:06 |
| Venim | hmm ok | 00:06 |
| Venim | i'll see what i can do | 00:06 |
| Raggs | Viking667, what is the problem? | 00:06 |
| Venim | Raggs: he wants to turn ubuntu->xubuntu | 00:07 |
| Viking667 | things aren't .... working right. 3D programs don't work, and firefox doesn't want to start up either. | 00:07 |
| Viking667 | most other programs seem to work, but those don't. Oh yeah, and Skype gets killed on startup. | 00:07 |
| Raggs | Viking667, what have you tried so far? | 00:07 |
| Viking667 | Not a lot, as it's obviously something I installed that threw things out. | 00:08 |
| Raggs | but no idea what that would be? | 00:08 |
| Viking667 | I tried installing the "official" ATI drivers, but they didn't recognise my video card (9550) | 00:08 |
| Viking667 | Well, then I took that back out, then installed something to do with mesa. That's when some of the 3D programs stopped working for me. | 00:09 |
| Viking667 | I don't know what started killing off skype. | 00:09 |
| Raggs | switching from ubuntu to xubuntu isnt a huge thing | 00:10 |
| Venim | Raggs: yeah, now i get just blackscreen :/ | 00:10 |
| Raggs | try running skype from the command line | 00:10 |
| Raggs | Venim, that aint good | 00:10 |
| Venim | ugh... stupid graphics drivesr | 00:11 |
| Venim | drivers* | 00:11 |
| Venim | i really should've gotten ati drivers :p | 00:12 |
| Venim | a nvidia card* | 00:12 |
| Venim | anyone using 10.6 drivers for ati cards? | 00:12 |
| Viking667 | sigsev | 00:20 |
| Viking667 | sorry, already tried that. | 00:20 |
| Viking667 | Oh yeah, and the flaming framebuffer doesn't show anything until Xorg comes up | 00:21 |
| Viking667 | back in 9.04, it used to ... can't remember about 9.10 | 00:21 |
| Viking667 | hm. A:ctually, that's SIGABRT | 00:23 |
| Viking667 | (for Skype) | 00:24 |
| Viking667 | and as I haven't got the source code, I can't exactly say what's killing it off. | 00:25 |
| Viking667 | the other thing is, the install is a standard Ubuntu, packed out with the Studio packages and quite a few others. | 00:26 |
| Raggs | Viking667, not sure, sorry | 00:31 |
| Viking667 | no, neither am I. | 00:31 |
| Viking667 | That's why I thought i'd try with installing an Xubuntu over the top of a standard Ubuntu... but I somehow don't see any upgrade in-place option | 00:32 |
| Raggs | Viking667, do you have a seperate /home? | 00:32 |
| Viking667 | no, in this case. | 00:32 |
| Viking667 | The drive was only 80Gb, and only 60Gb was Ubuntoid. | 00:33 |
| Viking667 | s/was/is/ | 00:33 |
| Raggs | 8G / and the resst /home would be ok | 00:33 |
| Raggs | doesnt help you now though | 00:33 |
| Viking667 | heh. I'm not sure. Hang on a minute, I'll check. | 00:33 |
| Viking667 | Hm. Seems my / takes up more than 8Gb, even if I remove /home and /VM | 00:38 |
| Raggs | Viking667, show me the output of df -h | 00:39 |
| Viking667 | Ah well. It's not helped by the fact that my DVD burner no longer seems to work right, and I've no idea why. | 00:39 |
| Viking667 | it's on the other machine, give me a minute. | 00:39 |
| Viking667 | /dev/sdb2 64522916 57645864 3599392 95% / | 00:39 |
| Raggs | forgot the -h | 00:40 |
| * Viking667 blinks | 00:40 | |
| Viking667 | Sorry, I'm so used to using the real figure. | 00:40 |
| Raggs | np | 00:41 |
| Viking667 | comes from being in the Linux world for so long some things set in concrete... | 00:41 |
| Viking667 | like usig grep as arg to find command: -exec grep pattern {} /dev/null \; | 00:41 |
| Raggs | well, no seperate home there | 00:41 |
| Viking667 | hm. I meant to add a -n in there somewhere | 00:42 |
| Viking667 | Raggs: that's right. There's no separate home on that drive. | 00:42 |
| Raggs | how new of an install? | 00:42 |
| Viking667 | It's been around since ..... 8.10, I guess, though I cleaned stuff out. | 00:42 |
| Viking667 | I could always strip back to the bone again, try reinstalling. | 00:43 |
| Viking667 | But that's a good three or four days work to get it back to rights. | 00:43 |
| Raggs | i would suggest asking in ubuntu first | 00:43 |
| Viking667 | i.e. remove bloody pulseaudio cos it does'nt work jack on my computer. | 00:43 |
| Viking667 | mmm. | 00:43 |
| Viking667 | Tried there, no real answers. | 00:44 |
| Raggs | ahhh | 00:44 |
| Raggs | Viking667, i will say that xubuntu is nice | 00:52 |
| Viking667 | I know. I installed it on my wife's computer because it's a bit lighter than the normal fare. | 00:52 |
| Venim | what's the best way to reinstall x | 02:11 |
| IncrStorm | I don't need samba server running, I just need to have client access to SMB type shares, any thoughts? | 03:29 |
| Raggs | IncrStorm, hi again | 03:45 |
| Raggs | can you remove just the server? | 03:45 |
| Venim | so... the xubuntu 10.04 install CD doesn't work for me | 03:56 |
| Venim | perhaps that's why the upgrade didn't work for me as well | 03:56 |
| Raggs | Venim, from ubuntu right? | 03:57 |
| Venim | no | 03:58 |
| Venim | xubuntu | 03:58 |
| Venim | to xubuntu | 03:58 |
| Viking667 | I've managed to fix Firefox (removed moonlight-plugin-mozilla) and Skype (enabled the partner repository, and upgraded Skype) | 03:58 |
| Raggs | ok, so that install is messed up? | 03:58 |
| Viking667 | now I'm just working through the 3D issues. | 03:58 |
| Raggs | Viking667, great | 03:58 |
| Viking667 | Well, not so great. I don't know how to troubleshoot this one. | 03:59 |
| Venim | Raggs: yes, but i can't even run the live CD | 03:59 |
| Venim | which shouldn't have anything to do with whats on my HD | 03:59 |
| Raggs | Venim, have you a flashdrive handy? | 03:59 |
| Venim | ya | 03:59 |
| Venim | why | 03:59 |
| Raggs | i have an idea | 03:59 |
| Venim | ok | 03:59 |
| Viking667 | ATI Radeon 9550 (rv350), I tried the ATI drivers but they didn't recognise my card. Things went south from there for 3D. | 04:00 |
| Raggs | Venim, look at this http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 04:00 |
| Viking667 | Oh yeah. And framebuffer has been blank for me since I upgraded to 10.04 | 04:00 |
| Raggs | Viking667, i have intel stuff on most all my computers | 04:00 |
| Raggs | brb, need a reboot | 04:01 |
| Viking667 | Heh. It's not ATI or NVidia, so a lot of games don't like me | 04:01 |
| _Techie_ | Viking667, for a radeon 9550 you will want to use the ATI driver | 04:01 |
| _Techie_ | Viking667, rather than fglrx | 04:01 |
| Viking667 | hm? You mean "ati" from opensource? | 04:02 |
| _Techie_ | yez | 04:02 |
| Viking667 | heh. I ad to go back to that | 04:02 |
| Viking667 | weird thing is, I didn't have issues until I tried to install fglrx (as that had worked for me before) | 04:02 |
| Viking667 | Now, my direct rendering speed is a quarter of what it was, and my glxinfo strings differ from what I used to have. | 04:03 |
| _Techie_ | well, with a card like a 9550 fglrx is bad news.. its aimed at the HD cards | 04:03 |
| Viking667 | meh. | 04:03 |
| Viking667 | wb, Raggs | 04:03 |
| _Techie_ | i use to use a 9600XT and i ran into huge problems with fglrx | 04:03 |
| _Techie_ | used* | 04:03 |
| Raggs | thanks Viking667 | 04:03 |
| Raggs | Venim what do you think? | 04:05 |
| Venim | Raggs: i'm tring it now | 04:06 |
| _Techie_ | Venim, may i ask why you need to re install Xubuntu? | 04:06 |
| Venim | _Techie_: 10.04 upgrade got shitfucked | 04:06 |
| _Techie_ | i see | 04:06 |
| bazhang | Venim, watch the language | 04:07 |
| Viking667 | heh. I struck that with a 10.04 upgrade of Ubuntu 9.10... things changed, and not for the best. | 04:07 |
| Venim | bazhang: sry, i'm just quite frustrated | 04:08 |
| Venim | it seems that my graphics card doesn't work with the 10.04 installer | 04:09 |
| * Viking667 knows how Venim feels, but hey. | 04:09 | |
| bazhang | Venim, alternate installer tried yet? | 04:09 |
| Venim | bazhang: that other iso? | 04:09 |
| bazhang | !alternate | 04:09 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 04:09 |
| bazhang | Venim, that does well when the live cd chokes | 04:10 |
| Venim | ok, i will try | 04:11 |
| Venim | Raggs: yea... live cd doesn't work period with my graphics card | 04:12 |
| Raggs | sorry Venim | 04:13 |
| Venim | stupid ati... | 04:13 |
| Venim | why did i pick it :p | 04:13 |
| Venim | i guess i will put an nvidia card in there | 04:13 |
| _Techie_ | Venim, which card is it? | 04:15 |
| Venim | radeon 5750 | 04:15 |
| _Techie_ | aah, nice | 04:15 |
| Venim | worked just fine in 9.10 | 04:15 |
| Venim | perfectly | 04:15 |
| _Techie_ | i guess ill have to see how the crossfired 5770's go in my new rig when i get the parts | 04:16 |
| Venim | good luck getting it work <_< | 04:16 |
| Venim | to work | 04:16 |
| Venim | i thikn i'm just gonna go and install 9.10 | 04:19 |
| Venim | and forget about updating | 04:19 |
| Raggs | _Techie_, have you ever used docky? | 04:22 |
| _Techie_ | Raggs, nope | 04:25 |
| Raggs | ok, trying to figure out how to get a newer version installed | 04:26 |
| Venim | ok i'm giving up | 04:41 |
| Venim | i'm just going to reinstall 9.10 | 04:41 |
| Venim | and forget about 10.04 | 04:41 |
| Viking667 | Hm. Does anyone actually _have_ a /usr/lib/libGL.so symlink pointing anywhere? | 04:42 |
| Raggs | hi xubuntu_newbie | 05:07 |
| xubuntu_newbie | hi @lighta are you still here? | 05:07 |
| xubuntu_newbie | hi @Raggs | 05:07 |
| xubuntu_newbie | I'm still looking a way how to change refresh rate to like 85GHz | 05:07 |
| xubuntu_newbie | :( it's 60GHz now and blinking so fast that I'm going to be blind | 05:07 |
| Raggs | i am not a great xorg guy, sorry | 05:07 |
| xubuntu_newbie | haha.. @Raggs, that's fine, it's still good to know there is someone who chats and response even if he/she cannot help much :D | 05:08 |
| xubuntu_newbie | so @Raggs, this refresh rate has something to do with the XORG? | 05:08 |
| Raggs | yes, i cant do much, i make a mean cocoa though | 05:08 |
| xubuntu_newbie | well, friends, I have downloaded the Intel Graphics Controller Driver from Intel.com | 05:09 |
| xubuntu_newbie | however I really donnu how to install it | 05:09 |
| Raggs | you have intel? | 05:09 |
| xubuntu_newbie | i use a Mac and Windows, first time I use Xubuntu. just downloaded it to my computer a few hours ago | 05:09 |
| xubuntu_newbie | yes, my old PC uses an Integrated Intel Graphics Card | 05:09 |
| Viking667 | heh. 815 or 810 ? | 05:10 |
| xubuntu_newbie | no, it's a 845G | 05:10 |
| * Viking667 blinks... wow. | 05:10 | |
| xubuntu_newbie | my computer was bought in around 2004 | 05:10 |
| xubuntu_newbie | well, my desktop is now not with me. i'm at office now | 05:10 |
| xubuntu_newbie | searching for possible solutions | 05:10 |
| xubuntu_newbie | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26966 | 05:13 |
| xubuntu_newbie | but it didn't say how :( | 05:13 |
| Raggs | i remember havint to install 915 resolution | 05:14 |

| _Techie_ | Raggs, did you bail because of xubuntu_newbie? | 05:47 |
| Raggs | god no | 05:47 |
| Raggs | i like to help, however i am easily distracted | 05:48 |
| _Techie_ | okay | 05:48 |
| Raggs | adhd is a pain | 05:48 |
| Raggs | i hope it didnt look that way, but clearly it did | 05:49 |
| _Techie_ | nah, not really | 05:53 |
| _Techie_ | its what i woulda done though | 05:53 |
| _Techie_ | also he was trolling i do beliefve | 05:54 |
| Raggs | _Techie_, ok, i would not like to run someone off linux, but if he were a troll ... | 05:54 |
| _Techie_ | Raggs, theres 2 reasons why i didnt even bother talking to him... 1) an intel card couldnt output anything near 85Ghz 2) if it could... the display would just go into standby | 05:56 |
| Raggs | ok good to know, my intel stuff works well | 05:57 |

| Raggs | hi all, can someone give me a hand with chroot an installing grub? | 07:28 |
| Viking667 | yup | 07:29 |
| Raggs | sweet | 07:29 |
| Raggs | i am in a live cd | 07:29 |
| Viking667 | mount /dev/hdnX /your/dir; cd /your/dir; chroot . /bin/bash | 07:29 |
| Viking667 | you'll have to tweak the mount line of course | 07:30 |
| Raggs | i have ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /media/67e26105-b997-4ddb-af4e-63d6c50bb225/ | 07:30 |
| Viking667 | ah. | 07:30 |
| Viking667 | no. | 07:30 |
| Viking667 | start with "sudo su -" | 07:30 |
| Viking667 | then go: cd /media/bloody-long-string; chroot . /bin/bash | 07:30 |
| Raggs | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo su - root@ubuntu:~# cd /media/55f999f4-7258-48eb-b186-8a11cec81f37/ chroot . /bin/bash root@ubuntu:/media/55f999f4-7258-48eb-b186-8a11cec81f37# | 07:31 |
| Viking667 | Then edit your /etc/grub.d/stuff | 07:32 |
| Raggs | lost me | 07:32 |
| Viking667 | weird. | 07:32 |
| Raggs | no, i mean i dont know how | 07:32 |
| Viking667 | you don't do it all in one hit. | 07:32 |
| Viking667 | i.e. cd /media/55f999f4-7258-48eb-b186-8a11cec81f37/ | 07:32 |
| Raggs | cant just reinstall grub huh | 07:32 |
| Viking667 | now do: pwd | 07:32 |
| Viking667 | Well, you could... I'm trying to walk you through. | 07:33 |
| Raggs | root[/]# pwd / root[/]# | 07:33 |
| Viking667 | ah huh. Is that INSIDE the chroot? | 07:33 |
| Raggs | yes | 07:33 |
| Viking667 | good. That lsook correct. | 07:33 |
| Viking667 | bah. Looks..... | 07:33 |
| Viking667 | now go edit /etc/grub.d/* to suit your setup | 07:34 |
| Viking667 | you may also have to check /etc/default/grub to see if you need to change anything in there too... | 07:34 |
| Viking667 | I recently went through this when I upgraded the (%)(*@ machine's grub, which was 0.97 at the time. | 07:34 |
| Raggs | hold on, no grub | 07:35 |
| Viking667 | huh? | 07:35 |
| Raggs | damn, wrong drive | 07:35 |
| Viking667 | ouch | 07:35 |
| Viking667 | type exit then... | 07:37 |
| Viking667 | that exits the chroot | 07:37 |
| Raggs | and start over | 07:37 |
| Viking667 | means you'd better umount 55f99.... | 07:38 |
| Viking667 | At least you haven't had my problem... | 07:38 |
| Raggs | root@ubuntu:/# pwd / root@ubuntu:/# | 07:39 |
| Viking667 | I wanted to boot the BSDs natively, only problem is, when I boot the respective kernels bare, they complain they're missing certain information that only seems to show when they're actually booted using their boots. | 07:39 |
| Raggs | ok here we go again | 07:39 |
| Viking667 | right. Check out /etc/grub.d/* and /etc/default/grub | 07:39 |
| Raggs | root@ubuntu:/etc/grub.d# ls 00_header 05_debian_theme 10_linux 20_memtest86+ 30_os-prober 40_custom README root@ubuntu:/etc/grub.d# | 07:40 |
| Viking667 | does 00_header and 10_linux look like it should? | 07:41 |
| Viking667 | Remember, there's programming in grub now, to do the probing of Linux kernels | 07:41 |
| Raggs | dont know what they should look like | 07:41 |
| Viking667 | that's what 10_linux shows. Any other OSes you want to show up? i.e. Winblows? | 07:41 |
| Raggs | no, another linux, but we can worry bout that when i can get back into buntu | 07:42 |
| Viking667 | If It's another Linux, it may be picked up and added by 30_os-prober | 07:42 |
| Raggs | ok | 07:42 |
| Viking667 | I don't know, I don't have more than one Linux on a machine | 07:43 |
| Viking667 | ... so that's something I've never had occasion to test | 07:43 |
| Raggs | we still need to add grub to the mbr ? | 07:43 |
| Viking667 | check out /etc/default/grub now | 07:43 |
| Raggs | what am i looking for? | 07:44 |
| Viking667 | Not sure. Check out that the LINUX and LINUX_DEFAULT lines are like you want them to read... especially the UUID of the drive you're booting off. | 07:45 |
| Viking667 | Personally, I'd use root=/dev/hda instead of UUID, but hey. | 07:45 |
| Raggs | GRUB_DEFAULT=0 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" | 07:45 |
| Raggs | the rest is commented | 07:46 |
| Viking667 | hm. I'd remove that quiet and splash | 07:46 |
| Viking667 | that way, you get to see text. | 07:46 |
| Raggs | i just want it to boot | 07:46 |
| Viking667 | brb... closing door | 07:46 |
| Viking667 | try running "update-grub2" | 07:47 |
| Viking667 | see what results you get in /boot/grub/grub.cfg as a result | 07:47 |
| Raggs | root@ubuntu:/etc# update-grub2 /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). root@ubuntu:/etc# | 07:48 |
| Viking667 | ooogh | 07:48 |
| Raggs | that isnt good | 07:48 |
| Viking667 | check if /dev is mounted then | 07:49 |
| Raggs | how? | 07:49 |
| Viking667 | type "mount" | 07:49 |
| Viking667 | see if one of those is a /dev | 07:50 |
| Raggs | long output | 07:50 |
| Raggs | a few are | 07:50 |
| Raggs | i cant chroot into a unmounted drive can i? | 07:50 |
| Viking667 | no | 07:50 |
| Viking667 | hm. | 07:50 |
| Viking667 | what does ls /dev/[hs]d[a-d]* show? | 07:51 |
| Raggs | showed i am an idiot | 07:52 |
| Raggs | ls /dev/[hs]d[a-d]* /dev/sda /dev/sda2 /dev/sda6 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sda1 /dev/sda5 /dev/sda7 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 | 07:52 |
| Viking667 | hm. no fstab? | 07:52 |
| Viking667 | oh! run blkid | 07:52 |
| Viking667 | see if THAT turns up anything recognisable | 07:52 |
| Raggs | nothing | 07:52 |
| Viking667 | ouch. | 07:53 |
| Viking667 | then you may need to 'tweak' /etc/fstab | 07:53 |
| Raggs | Viking667: where do you want me to run the comands, in the chroot right? | 07:54 |
| Viking667 | yup. | 07:54 |
| Viking667 | If you don't see blkid working, then you may have to check out the non-chroot's version | 07:54 |
| Raggs | root@ubuntu:/etc# blkid /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs" root@ubuntu:/etc# | 07:55 |
| Viking667 | uff. | 07:55 |
| Raggs | uff isnt good is it? | 07:55 |
| Viking667 | nup. | 07:55 |
| Viking667 | you have sda etc, which drive is your / | 07:55 |
| Viking667 | ? | 07:55 |
| Raggs | sda6 | 07:56 |
| Viking667 | hm? A logical partition? | 07:56 |
| Viking667 | not a primary? | 07:56 |
| Raggs | primary i think | 07:57 |
| Viking667 | sda6 isn't primary | 07:57 |
| Raggs | i am beginning to think a reinstall would be better huh | 07:57 |
| Viking667 | only sda1-4 are primary | 07:57 |
| Viking667 | I'm not sure that would fix it | 07:57 |
| Raggs | sure it would | 07:57 |
| Viking667 | let's work with what we have. I'm sure we can fix this | 07:58 |
| Raggs | hold on, i have an idea to give you what we are working with | 07:58 |
| Viking667 | okay. | 07:59 |
| Raggs | my drive layout http://imagebin.ca/view/aoqMkPPX.html | 08:00 |
| Viking667 | Ahh, so you're dealing with sda5 then. | 08:01 |
| Viking667 | or sda6? | 08:02 |
| Raggs | 5 is buntu / | 08:02 |
| Viking667 | right. | 08:02 |
| Raggs | 6 is /home | 08:02 |
| Viking667 | what does your /etc/fstab show (inside the chroot)? | 08:02 |
| Raggs | 7 is Salix/ | 08:02 |
| Viking667 | Salix, huh? That Slack-based or something? | 08:02 |
| Raggs | yes | 08:03 |
| Viking667 | heh. Thought so. I hadn't heard the name before, thought I'd take an educated guess. | 08:03 |
| Raggs | pasted in other place | 08:03 |
| Viking667 | wow. Your fstab's been run over by a steam train | 08:04 |
| Viking667 | Right. INto that file, add something like this: /dev/sda5 / defaults 1 1 | 08:04 |
| Viking667 | oh, hang on. I missed a field | 08:04 |
| Raggs | buntu does that | 08:04 |
| Viking667 | something like this: /dev/sda5 / ext4 defaults 1 1 | 08:04 |
| Viking667 | We'll get the device showing once we're booted into the OS itself. | 08:05 |
| Viking667 | You may want to add /dev/sda7 /home ext4 defaults,ro 1 1 | 08:05 |
| Viking667 | (so you have any /home files you need) | 08:05 |
| Viking667 | oh, hang on, sda6, not 7 | 08:05 |
| Raggs | done | 08:05 |
| Viking667 | My fingers are cold | 08:05 |
| Viking667 | Write out the file, see what update-grub says now | 08:06 |
| Raggs | should i take out the other dec/sda5 and 7? | 08:06 |
| Viking667 | huh? Y ouhave them in? | 08:06 |
| Viking667 | show me that fstab again? | 08:06 |
| Viking667 | and paste them as separate lines | 08:06 |
| Viking667 | oh, too late | 08:06 |
| Viking667 | actually, that looks good, I suspect. If you can paste it to a pastebin so I can look at the lines? | 08:07 |
| Raggs | http://pastebin.ca/1889669 | 08:08 |
| Viking667 | Ahhh. stick a # in front of lines 15 and 16 | 08:09 |
| Viking667 | We won't possibly need those for the moment. | 08:09 |
| Raggs | you just had me add those | 08:09 |
| Viking667 | the / uuid looks correct | 08:09 |
| Viking667 | Yeah, now I can see the lines you pasted, they actually look good for the moment. | 08:10 |
| Viking667 | Right, so the fault's not with fstab. | 08:10 |
| Viking667 | What's in /proc/mounts ? | 08:10 |
| Raggs | ok, good | 08:10 |
| Viking667 | Well, maybe. We've still got to get grub to agree. | 08:10 |
| Viking667 | Actually, go check out what /boot/grub/grub.cfg says. | 08:10 |
| Viking667 | You'll have to pastebin that, it's long. | 08:10 |
| Raggs | nothing in proc | 08:11 |
| Viking667 | wuuh? | 08:11 |
| Viking667 | shyte. | 08:11 |
| Viking667 | mount -t proc /proc proc | 08:11 |
| Viking667 | I _think_ that'll work | 08:11 |
| Raggs | mount: mount point proc does not exist | 08:11 |
| Viking667 | yeargh. | 08:12 |
| Viking667 | ls / | 08:12 |
| Viking667 | see if proc is at the top of the tree | 08:12 |
| Viking667 | I could have it the wrong way around... that'd figure | 08:12 |
| Raggs | it is | 08:12 |
| Viking667 | right. mount -t proc proc /proc | 08:12 |
| Viking667 | see if THAT works | 08:12 |
| Raggs | it did | 08:13 |
| Viking667 | cat /proc/mounts | 08:13 |
| Raggs | empty | 08:13 |
| Viking667 | hm. | 08:13 |
| Viking667 | that'll be why grub can't find anything to mount | 08:13 |
| Raggs | hold on | 08:13 |
| Raggs | http://pastebin.ca/1889671 | 08:14 |
| Raggs | grub got removed when lilo was installed | 08:14 |
| Viking667 | Oh! | 08:14 |
| Viking667 | You have lilo in place... and you want grub back??? | 08:15 |
| * Viking667 shakes his head... ours not to reason why... | 08:15 | |
| Raggs | lilo is broken | 08:15 |
| Viking667 | heh. | 08:15 |
| Raggs | so i need to install grub again | 08:15 |
| Viking667 | That mounts comes from the outside of the chroot, I suspect | 08:15 |
| Raggs | dont know | 08:16 |
| Viking667 | It does. I can tell. | 08:16 |
| Raggs | ok | 08:16 |
| Viking667 | but anyhow, try running update-grub again | 08:16 |
| Raggs | > /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). | 08:17 |
| Viking667 | yeesh. | 08:17 |
| Viking667 | see what's in /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 08:17 |
| Viking667 | and pastebin that, please | 08:18 |
| Raggs | http://pastebin.ca/1889673 | 08:19 |
| Raggs | brb. need a drink | 08:19 |
| Viking667 | hm. | 08:21 |
| Viking667 | seems like it's grub-probe that's complaining | 08:21 |
| Viking667 | Right. I think I've gained a little expert assistance, so I'll drop that into the channel when you come back | 08:23 |
| Raggs | back | 08:24 |
| Viking667 | Try this: grub-install --recheck /dev/sda | 08:24 |
| Raggs | > /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?). | 08:25 |
| Viking667 | yeah. That's the error we got the last time. | 08:25 |
| Viking667 | Right. exit the chroot. I think we can do this a different way. | 08:25 |
| Viking667 | You'll need to reboot | 08:25 |
| Raggs | i bet there shouldnt be a / | 08:25 |
| Viking667 | there SHOULD be a /, your problem is, your mounts shows you have TWO of them | 08:26 |
| Viking667 | ... which is about right for a chroot | 08:26 |
| Raggs | ok, this isnt a quick fix it seems | 08:26 |
| Viking667 | Might be, might not be. | 08:26 |
| Viking667 | Exit the chroot anyhow. | 08:26 |
| Raggs | lol, it is 3:30 here | 08:26 |
| Viking667 | ... I found a guide that may help us out | 08:26 |
| Viking667 | and it's only 19:30 here. | 08:27 |
| Viking667 | (on Saturday) | 08:27 |
| Raggs | saturday here too | 08:27 |
| Viking667 | So I've been up for longer than you have... | 08:27 |
| Viking667 | lol. | 08:27 |
| Viking667 | So. Have you managed to exit the chroot? | 08:27 |
| Raggs | done | 08:27 |
| Viking667 | Right. You'll have to tailor this next one to fit, replace mnt with media/67-bloodylongstring | 08:28 |
| Viking667 | mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev | 08:28 |
| Viking667 | i.e. you're mounting your live CD's devtree onto the same place as /media/67e26105-b997-4ddb-af4e-63d6c50bb225/ | 08:29 |
| Raggs | Viking667 i thank you for all the help. but itis 3:30 am, i am running out of steam | 08:29 |
| Viking667 | Aww. Almost THERE!!! | 08:29 |
| Raggs | alright | 08:29 |
| Raggs | we will see | 08:29 |
| Viking667 | yup. Feel like rebooting? | 08:29 |
| Viking667 | it'll keep the /proc stuff straight. | 08:29 |
| Raggs | as root rightt | 08:30 |
| Viking667 | as in, reboot the LiveCD and boot off it again | 08:30 |
| Raggs | do that other stuff first? | 08:30 |
| Viking667 | nope | 08:31 |
| Viking667 | not yet | 08:31 |
| Raggs | brb | 08:31 |
| Viking667 | cool | 08:31 |
| Raggs | back | 08:33 |
| Viking667 | 'llo, and wb | 08:33 |
| Viking667 | right. you're booted, obviously | 08:33 |
| Raggs | must be | 08:34 |
| Viking667 | got your mountpoint set up? | 08:34 |
| Viking667 | i.e. is /dev/sda5 mounted? | 08:34 |
| Raggs | i have nothing set up | 08:34 |
| Viking667 | Ah well, go mount your /dev/sda5 if it isn't already on /media/67xxyyzz.... | 08:34 |
| Raggs | yep | 08:34 |
| Viking667 | # mount --bind /dev /media/67e26105-b997-4ddb-af4e-63d6c50bb225/dev | 08:35 |
| Raggs | they are mounted | 08:35 |
| Viking667 | # mount --bind /proc /media/67e26105-b997-4ddb-af4e-63d6c50bb225/proc | 08:35 |
| Viking667 | # mount --bind /sys /media/67e26105-b997-4ddb-af4e-63d6c50bb225/sys | 08:36 |
| Raggs | as root? | 08:36 |
| Viking667 | er, yeah. | 08:36 |
| Viking667 | otherwise they'd have sudo in front | 08:36 |
| Viking667 | but you'll need to be root to chroot anyhow | 08:36 |
| Raggs | sudo ... | 08:36 |
| Raggs | what was that command? | 08:36 |
| Viking667 | which one? | 08:36 |
| Viking667 | "sudo su -" | 08:37 |
| Raggs | that one | 08:37 |
| Viking667 | I don't usually stuff around with commands-by-commands-sudo... I generally just su into root, do the stuff I need to, then get the )**$% out. | 08:37 |
| Viking667 | So. As root, have you done those three mounts? | 08:37 |
| Raggs | yes | 08:38 |
| Viking667 | good. | 08:38 |
| Raggs | no | 08:38 |
| Raggs | frick | 08:38 |
| Viking667 | wot? | 08:38 |
| Raggs | done | 08:39 |
| Raggs | did it wrong the first time | 08:39 |
| Raggs | ount: mount point /media/55f999f4-7258-48eb-b186-8a11cec81f37/proc does not exist | 08:39 |
| Viking667 | ugh. | 08:39 |
| Raggs | i am just going to redo the hdd | 08:40 |
| Viking667 | yeah, you need that other digity thing I typed out all for you to type | 08:40 |
| Viking667 | hey he hey. | 08:40 |
| Viking667 | I'm three commands away from updating your grub | 08:40 |
| Raggs | ok | 08:40 |
| Viking667 | so, you'vedone the three mounts, to the CORRECT mountpoint? | 08:40 |
| Raggs | no | 08:41 |
| Viking667 | go. | 08:41 |
| Raggs | mount --bind /dev /media/55f999f4-7258-48eb-b186-8a11cec81f37/ | 08:41 |
| Raggs | i did that | 08:41 |
| Viking667 | no no no | 08:41 |
| Viking667 | you've got the wrong UUID | 08:41 |
| Raggs | i know | 08:42 |
| Raggs | no i dont | 08:42 |
| Raggs | that is sda5 | 08:42 |
| Viking667 | sda5 is your root? | 08:42 |
| Viking667 | or sda6 is your root? | 08:42 |
| Raggs | i dont know anymore | 08:42 |
| Raggs | i am going to bed | 08:42 |
| Raggs | we can finish in about 7 hours | 08:42 |
| Viking667 | According to the picture you pasted back when, 67e2xxxx is your / | 08:42 |

| === ubott2 is now known as ubottu | ||
| Venim | hola | 22:31 |
| Venim | i just reinstalled xubuntu, and networking is having issues | 22:31 |
| Venim | my usb dongle won't connect to anything | 22:31 |
| Venim | i had this similar situation when i was trying to get it working with arch, where I have multiple drivers trying to work | 22:32 |
| Venim | so i was wondering how to blacklist some drivers | 22:32 |
| moetunes | !blacklist | 22:33 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 22:33 |
| === tharrs is now known as kr4zy10 | ||
| Raggs | hi Venim | 23:28 |
| Venim | hi | 23:28 |
| Raggs | another day of ubuntu fun huh | 23:29 |
| Venim | eh sorta | 23:29 |
| Venim | i tried arch | 23:29 |
| Venim | then gave up because i'm too lazy to mess with graphics | 23:29 |
| Raggs | maybe archbang sometime | 23:31 |
