| mark76 | I have a grub failure | 19:14 |
| mark76 | Can anyone tell me how to get from grub rescue> to a command line prompt? | 19:15 |
| charlie-tca | !grub2 | 19:15 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 19:15 |
| Sysi | that sounds like grub command line | 19:16 |
| mark76 | Please don't do that | 19:16 |
| Sysi | i recommend reinstalling it from cd | 19:16 |
| mark76 | Just tell me the command I need | 19:16 |
| charlie-tca | That is where the answer is. try it | 19:16 |
| mark76 | It's too long and I'm too tired to read it all | 19:16 |
| charlie-tca | mark76: you can read it as easy as I can to find that answer | 19:16 |
| mark76 | It's too long and I don't know what to look for | 19:19 |
| mark76 | Ah there it is | 19:19 |
| charlie-tca | Okay,. I will read it and see if I can find it then | 19:19 |
| mark76 | Last boot failed or boot into recovery mode | 19:20 |
| mark76 | Oh God. I'll never remember all that | 19:20 |
| mark76 | I might as well just install a new OS | 19:20 |
| mark76 | Ah. Reinstalling from a livecd | 19:21 |
| mark76 | That's the one | 19:21 |
| mark76 | grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot (is /dev mounted?). | 19:23 |
| mark76 | I've deleted my root partition somehow | 19:25 |
| mark76 | :( | 19:25 |
| efpc2003 | oh! | 19:26 |
| Sysi | mark76: you read the instructions? | 19:26 |
| mark76 | I'm going to have to reinstall | 19:26 |
| mark76 | No point Sysi. I don't have a root partition anymore | 19:26 |
| efpc2003 | partition deleted or unmounted? | 19:26 |
| mark76 | Deleted | 19:26 |
| mark76 | Gone | 19:26 |
| efpc2003 | ok | 19:27 |
| mark76 | No wait it's still there according to gparted | 19:27 |
| mark76 | So why isn't it showing in Places? | 19:27 |
| efpc2003 | hey some one else knows what to do in this case? | 19:27 |
| efpc2003 | some.....recovery tool etc | 19:27 |
| efpc2003 | I see | 19:28 |
| mark76 | Okay. I can't mount /dev/sda1 | 19:30 |
| efpc2003 | mark76: good luck | 19:31 |
| efpc2003 | reinstall and don't format other partitions | 19:31 |
| mark76 | This is weird | 19:36 |
| mark76 | I put a debian live cd in and managed to boot into my normal session | 19:36 |
| charlie-tca | then root must still be there | 19:36 |
| mark76 | Indeed | 19:36 |
| mark76 | So now I should be able to fix grub from here | 19:36 |
| efpc2003 | your root partition is there? | 19:37 |
| efpc2003 | or your live-root | 19:37 |
| efpc2003 | jeje | 19:37 |
| mark76 | I'm in my normal Ubuntu session | 19:37 |
| efpc2003 | ok | 19:38 |
| mark76 | So I must have root | 19:38 |
| efpc2003 | yes | 19:38 |
| efpc2003 | what about grub? | 19:38 |
| mark76 | I've just run sudo update-grub | 19:38 |
| efpc2003 | if you delete grub don't forget to install another boot manager | 19:39 |
| efpc2003 | as lilo | 19:39 |
| mark76 | I'm definitely not running off the live CD | 19:39 |
| efpc2003 | aha | 19:40 |
| efpc2003 | 10 min brb | 19:40 |
| mark76 | I'll reboot when my tea's ready | 19:41 |
| mark76 | See if it worked | 19:41 |
| Sysi | sudo grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/sdX should workif you are on your installation | 19:41 |
| Sysi | if update grub didn't work | 19:41 |
| mark76 | K | 19:41 |
| mark76 | Yay! :D | 19:46 |
| mark76 | If only flash would work with bbc news | 19:48 |
| knome | flash on bbc news? ;) | 19:48 |
| Sysi | if i could watch bbc tv programs here.. | 19:49 |
| Sysi | doctor <3 | 19:49 |
| mark76 | See this page? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/brighton/9432161.stm | 19:49 |
| mark76 | The video plays for you, doesn't it | 19:50 |
| mark76 | But not for me | 19:50 |
| mark76 | I've tried unistalling flash and reinstalling it but nothing changes | 19:51 |
| mark76 | I can watch videos on some sites. Like youtube and iplayer | 19:51 |
| mark76 | But there are lots that just won't work | 19:51 |
| mark76 | And I don't know why | 19:52 |
| Sysi | check that you don't have gnash or swfdec installed | 19:52 |
| mark76 | I don't | 19:52 |
| mark76 | Though I do have a folder in my home directory from when I tried gnash out | 19:53 |
| mark76 | I deleted it | 19:53 |
| mark76 | Made no difference | 19:54 |
| Dene_ | sorry, but could anyone help me? i just installed xubuntu but the sound doesn't work | 20:04 |
| Dene_ | it was working earlier with the live cd | 20:04 |
| mark76 | Can anyone think of a reason why I can't watch BBC streams? | 20:13 |
| mark76 | And, no I'm not in the wrong country | 20:15 |
| mark76 | And it doesn't affect IPlayer | 20:16 |
| mark76 | Which is weird | 20:16 |
| mark76 | Why doesn't it affect IPlayer? | 20:16 |
| cfs_ | Hey. How do I change the login background image in Xubuntu? I was able to do it in FedoraSpin xfce by just putting a background image in /usr/share/backgrounds | 20:21 |
| mark76 | It's not fair that I can't watch BBC streams | 20:52 |
| mark76 | I want to watch BBC streams | 20:52 |
| Sysi | try turning off hardware acceleration | 21:03 |
| mark76 | I did, Sysi, but it just turns itself back on again | 21:32 |
| lrussell | hi | 21:38 |
| lrussell | anyone here? | 21:38 |
| bazhang | yep | 21:39 |
| lrussell | I cant fin the features page for xbuntu | 21:39 |
| lrussell | *find | 21:39 |
| knome | what "features" are you thinking? | 21:39 |
| lrussell | like web browser, office stuff, etc | 21:40 |
| lrussell | also, is it compattibe with a wireless network card? | 21:40 |
| knome | should be as compatible as ubuntu | 21:41 |
| knome | firefox is the default web browser | 21:41 |
| lrussell | ok | 21:41 |
| knome | office: abiword for text and gnumeric for spreadsheets, but you can easily install libreoffice | 21:41 |
| lrussell | I've never really used ubuntu... not for my laptop | 21:41 |
| Sysi | trey from livecd/usb | 21:42 |
| lrussell | will it work with a network card designed for windows? | 21:42 |
| knome | as Sysi said, you should try with the livecd :) | 21:42 |
| lrussell | ok | 21:42 |
| lrussell | knome, r u using xbuntu right now? | 21:44 |
| === Thermi is now known as thermi | ||
| lrussell | gah, xbuntu torrent is slow.. not even making 100kb a sec | 21:45 |
| knome | lrussell, yeah, i am | 21:45 |
| lrussell | could u give me a software page for xbuntu | 21:46 |
| lrussell | to get software not listed in the list on the os | 21:47 |
| knome | lrussell, you can use the ubuntu repositories | 21:47 |
| lrussell | i can? | 21:47 |
| knome | lrussell, when you install xubuntu, either run the ubuntu software center or synaptic | 21:47 |
| knome | yes, ubuntu and xubuntu use the same repositories | 21:47 |
| knome | and they are fully compatible | 21:48 |
| lrussell_ | so everything compatiable with ubuntu is compatiable with xbuntu? | 21:52 |
| knome | yes | 21:52 |
| lrussell_ | is this a good site to get software? http://www.getdeb.net/welcome/ | 21:53 |
| charlie-tca | The best place to get software is either the Ubuntu Software Center or Synaptic Package Manager, as knome said. | 21:54 |
| lrussell_ | ok... | 21:55 |
| lrussell_ | can i connect to a windows file network the xbuntu? I kinda wanted to | 21:55 |
| Sysi | yes | 21:56 |
| charlie-tca | Use Applications -> System -> Gigolo | 21:56 |
| lrussell_ | really? | 21:56 |
| lrussell_ | :D | 21:56 |
| lrussell_ | so if i have files being shared on a network on windows xp i can connect to them through xbuntu? | 21:56 |
| lrussell_ | hello? | 21:58 |
| lrussell_ | torrent is finally going 700 kb/ps! | 21:59 |
| Mastrius0713 | I have a problem for ya. I've installed ProFTPd and its shell program Gadmin-Proftpd, after putting in my user accounts and made modifications to the server interface for the default server, I get this error: | 22:21 |
| Mastrius0713 | - notice: Unable to bind to Unix Domain socket at 'var/run/proftpd/test.sock': so such file or directory | 22:24 |
| Mastrius0713 | - notice: unable to listen to local socket: Operation not permitted | 22:24 |
| Mastrius0713 | - Fatal: TLSRSACertificateFile: '/ect/gadmin-proftpd/certs/certs.pem' does not exist on line 57 of 'ect/proftpd/proftpd.conf' | 22:24 |
| charlie-tca | so, you looked in /etc/gadmin-proftpd/certs and the file certs.pem does exist? | 22:26 |
| Mastrius0713 | I couldn't even get into the folder, said access denied | 22:26 |
| charlie-tca | Probably have to be root to see it then | 22:26 |
| Mastrius0713 | how do I get root access? | 22:27 |
| charlie-tca | I do it with gksu thunar using Alt+F2 | 22:27 |
| Mastrius0713 | I'm not sure what that is | 22:28 |
| charlie-tca | on the keyboard, Alt+F2? | 22:28 |
| charlie-tca | are you using Xubuntu? | 22:28 |
| Mastrius0713 | yes | 22:28 |
| charlie-tca | hold Alt and press F2 ? | 22:29 |
| Mastrius0713 | I did that | 22:29 |
| Mastrius0713 | I don't know what gksu is though | 22:29 |
| charlie-tca | and you got a little window that you can type on one line of, so you type gksu thunar | 22:29 |
| charlie-tca | it allows gui apps to run as root | 22:30 |
| Sysi | https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html | 22:32 |
| Mastrius0713 | There doesn't seem to be a folder called certs under GADMIN-ProFTPD folder | 22:35 |
| Mastrius0713 | so I guess there is no certs.prm | 22:36 |
| charlie-tca | So, it needs to be configured correctly, might want to look at that guide Sysi gave for more help with the server part | 22:38 |
| Mastrius0713 | I searched the system but didn't find the certs.pem | 22:57 |
| Mastrius0713 | I don't know, but maybe I should skip back to Xubuntu 9 :\ | 22:59 |
| Mastrius0713 | I never had this kind of problem when setting up on it. | 22:59 |
