[02:01] <Greta> Hi, all! :)
[02:16] <BluesKaj> hi Greta
[02:43] <Greta> how is everyone this evening?
[02:49] <BluesKaj> fine, but not many ppl here tonight
[03:25] <uhohuhoh> Hello, anyone around?
[03:25] <uhohuhoh> I'm in a bit of trouble...
[03:26] <ball> Yup
[03:26] <uhohuhoh> Sweet!
[03:26] <uhohuhoh> When my computer boots up, I'm getting a "error: unkown filesystem", and then a "grub rescue>" console.
[03:26] <uhohuhoh> I tried to do a bit of reading, and I understand I'm in rescue mode
[03:27] <ball> uhohuhoh: Time to re-image and reach for your backup I should think.
[03:27] <uhohuhoh> when I hit ls, to see the partitions
[03:27] <uhohuhoh> I had a Win7 partition - is that destroyed too?
[03:27] <ball> uhohuhoh: Potentially.  You had that backed up too, right?
[03:28] <uhohuhoh> No, but it's not a particularly big deal :/
[03:28] <uhohuhoh> when I hit ls
[03:28] <uhohuhoh> I do see a bunch of "msdosX" partitions, where x is a number
[03:28] <uhohuhoh> No linux partitions.
[03:28]  * ball isn't very familiar with grub, though I'm told its what we have to use with Linux these days.
[03:28] <uhohuhoh> Hmm
[03:29] <uhohuhoh> so I couldn't load any of the other partitions?
[03:29]  * ball shrugs
[03:29]  * ball <- not familiar with grub
[03:30] <uhohuhoh> Darn, alright, thanks.
[03:30] <uhohuhoh> Where else could I go apart form #ubuntu?
[03:32] <ball> uhohuhoh: This is probably as good a place as any, though in my experience #ubuntu-uk is often busier. That said, it's 03:32 there now.
[03:32] <uhohuhoh> I'll try that
[03:33] <uhohuhoh> Thanks for your help so far!
[13:29] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
